These classes are an introduction to the principles behind Hip-Hop dance, with an open level exploration of the steps and styles that made the eras of the late 1960s to 1990s iconic. With a focus on Otto’s specialties, Locking (or Cambellocking) and West Coast Popping, you’ll explore styles such as Tutting or King Tutt, Waving, Animation, Robot, to classic Cambellocking steps of the 1970s made famous by the iconic group “The Lockers” from Soul Train. The class is an observance of technique, groove and free-style, in a weekly journey that will both challenge and elevate the participant. Join up today!
