Locking
Locking is a street dance style that is danced to funk music and originated on the west coast of the United States in the early 70's. Typical movements for this rhythmic, energetic dance style are, for example, lock, point, Scooby Doo and muscleman. Locking was not created to be a dance style. It was simply Don "Campbellock" Campbell who danced, put his own spin on the dance, let his creativity take over his body. It only became a form of dance when others decided to dance like him. Don Campbellock Campbell created Locking by mistake - literally - when he forgot the next step in a dance he froze. A woman in the audience laughed, so he pointed at her, so that it looked like it was part of the dance. Throughout the dance, he stopped at regular intervals and pointed back at her, much to the amusement of the audience. Comic elements are also an important part of this dance style, as is audience interaction.
In the locking lessons, you learn the basics of this fun and happy dance style and work creatively with them, as well as study the rhythm and history of locking. In addition to technique and muscle fitness, we also practice street in general, movement language and choreographies.
Popping
Poppingen is a name for several different dance styles such as boogaloo, waving, tutting, gliding and robot. Boogaloo Sam created the Popping style in the 70's in Fresno, California. Typical of the Popping style is the continuity of movement in the body like a chain reaction or as quick stops. In the lessons you practice rhythm; coordination and isolation exercises and dance series.
Equipment
You need comfortable clothes that give you good mobility and sneakers that do not leave a mark. Sometimes knee pads can also be good. If you have long hair please put it up. Remember a water bottle!
