What is Locking?
A dance style known for its sharp arm movements and sudden pauses timed to the music.
Locking is a distinctive dance style that originated in the United States in the 1970s. It’s characterized by fast, exaggerated arm movements combined with quick “locks” – brief freezes that match the beat.
The style is energetic, playful, and often slightly comedic, which is part of its charm. Thanks to this unique character, locking has become a beloved part of both hip hop and the broader street dance culture.
