Not a style of dance I practice...I can do a little, but it's one that deserves the respect it deserves. People still practice it. The original and long standing crew The Lockers started and made it popular by performing all over in the 70s from Soul Train to Saturday Night Live, to the main stream TV sitcoms.
It's top of mind because the founder of the dance and the group The Lockers Greg "The Campbellock Jr." Pope just passed.
Fred Berry aka "The Penguin" aka "Rerun" from What's Happening was an original member of The Lockers became famous on the tv show What's Happening. Fred passed in 2003.
Many would also recognize original member Adolfo "Shabba Doo" Quinones from the movies Breaking and Breaking 2 as he played the character "Ozone".
Here's some old clips of the crew...
