This West Coast dance, originally called Campbellocking after its creator Don Campbell, emerged in Los Angeles, California in the 1970s. Influenced by soul, funk, and popular soul dances of the era, it became iconic through the performances of The Lockers, known for their vibrant personalities and signature attire—brightly colored shirts, knee-high socks, bow ties, and apple hats.
Characterized by the “Lock,” points, wrist twirls, handshakes, knee drops, freezes, and splits, Locking is a fun and energetic style.

This class is for beginners who are being introduced to House for the first time or who are in the process of learning the basic foundations of this style.
House dance, rooted in Chicago’s house music from the early '80s, blends fast footwork and fluid torso movements. It draws from a mix of Tap, Latin, African, Lindy Hop, Ballet, and popular party dances, evolving alongside the rhythms of house music.
