Although often there is division within the locking community, I don't think as a dance itself locking is very battle orientated. I think showcases suit the dance more than battles, personally...

How has cost to me to translate your message xD!!. It is that I see that bboys/bgirls also has their battles, poppers, and we, lockers, what?. We can to animate a little but the thing. It is but, in my city the Lockin' does not know anybody almost and is quite great… Lockin' is for fun, one discipline, one passion... Lockin' 4EvEr!!.

I've had a good many discussion with a lot of OGs and it is widely accepted by all but a few that battling has little place in true locking. There are some who are ambivalent and/or accept it, but the true nature of locking lies in it being a party dance as opposed to a battle dance.

i think Wavedash is just saying that he does not think locking is a competitive dance, where someone tries to out-dance someone else.

If I'm locking, and I see someone else locking, I'm so happy (and surprised to find!) that someone shares the love of the dance, and I want to dance with them, not against them. I don't want to outsmile them or find another way of outdoing them.

The whole battle thing is more a part of b-boy culture, and when locking was accepted and adopted by the hip-hop community, that is probably when some people tried to make locking fit with the dynamics of other dances in the hip-hop scene.

But various positions and gestures, such as the 'up' and the point have their roots as friendly greetings within Afro-American culture. And locking, as done by The Campbellock Dancers, was done to express love and brotherhood, and I'm guessing that's how many of us want it to stay.
