What is Locking(Lock)?

Locking is a style of Funk dance, which is today also associated with Hip Hop. The name is based on the concept of locking movements, which basically means freezing from a fast movement and “locking” in a certain position, holding that position for a short while and then continuing in the same speed as before. It relies on fast and distinct arm and hand movements combined with more relaxed hips and legs. The movements are generally large and exaggerated, and often very rhythmic and tightly synced with the music.

We are planning to start Elite Kid’s Hip Hop classes for some dance competitions and some dance events. Coming soon!! Look forward to it!!

Yosakoi is a unique style of dance that originated in Japan.The style of dance is highly energetic, combining traditional Japanese dance movements with modern music. One of the defining aspects of yosakoi dance is the use of naruko: small wooden clappers that are held in the hands of each dancer.
