Fred Berry Jr

Following in his fathers footsteps ,The son of the Lockers Mr. Pinguin, is a multi talented , dancer/actor who and when he decided to learn and study the very art form that his father pioneered. we asked him out of all of the Lockers out there why he picked the Original Skeeter Rabbit to tutor him… ” I chose skeet because I didn’t want to learn just the moves I wanted to learn what the whole thing was all about and I had heard he would tell and teach me like it really was and that’s what he did” …Fred Berry Jr.

 ”Thank you Lockerlegends & Skeeter Rabbit for being so nice to me and giving me so many stories about my daddy! I love your website, because there is so much great information about the art of locking!”

“My Goodness!!! What’s interesting is to have been there at various times as I was and still not know many of these facts and figures.
So I can only imagine how helpful this must be for those who watched or heard from a distance.
When I danced I seldom knew any names of any dances and it didn’t matter over 30 years ago.
Nowadays I get to learn more about the styles and give credit where credit is due.
We do have to write and tell our own stories in our Soulful voices”

”talking only a few minutes with OG Skeeter Rabbit
opened my eyes to so many truths about this dance.
I must thank you guys  for all your guidance”

Hello ,hello out there … Yes , this is Jeffrey Daniel Soul Train Dancer ,Shalamar member and fellow locker for life!! I’m pleased to find this site which was recomended to me from a fellow London based Locker Richard who is also my student here in London . reading Fluky Lukes page almost brought tears to my eyes as i remember seeing the Lockers dance every weekend in Maverick’s Flat night club in L.A. in the early ’70’s . I used to sneak in there just to watch them dance and hear Don Cambell scream ! Even after i’ve toured the world and did many professional jobs , my best memories are of the Lockers dancing in Maverick’s in their own environment without thinking about routines or how long they can solo (like in TV appearances) just plain ‘ol dancing and funkin’ all night and changing clothes when the bands played and dancing til 4:00 a.m. I got butt whoopings from sneaking out til that late to watch them ,but i’d go back to Dorsey High school and was the best Locker in the Schools .

If anyone want s to contact me , here i am . I just moved back to London after 6 years in Osaka Japan and i had the pleasure of spending Don Cambell’s 50 birthday in Tokyo,Japan a few years back and watch him receive love from the many Japanese locking groups . Tony Go Go was there too . I was again with Don here in London Sept. 2005 and presented him the Life Time Achievement Award at the Carnival Choreographers Ball for his invention of Locking and i humbly kneeled at his feet before about 3,000 U.K. dance fans .

Don Cambell and the Locking changed my life in a very positive way and i’m forever grateful . And God bless Fred Berry’s soul .

Thanks to whoever created this site and i’m glad it’s here for the dancers all over the world to see who love Locking and Soul Train . That’s about all the time i’ll take for now .

God Bless you all , Jeffrey Daniel

 Note: there has been much controversay over who can use the term Locker, notice that Jeffrey refers to himself as a fellow locker many times in his letter, this illustrates how the term is used and accepted as a discriptive term by all who profess ones dance affiliation to the style of Locking. and not to be confused with being a member of the group “THE LOCKERS”…….We have all been proud to be Lockers of the Campbellock dance for decades…… 

“Many of the dancers on this site I’ve danced with or next to for years. Its a shame we never got to tell the real story about what we went through back in the day. I’m just glad that now it can be told through this website” There were people back in the day that didn’t want many of us other pioneers to succeed, it changed the very nature of what locking was about. we can see its the same today. but many of us real original pioneers stand behind this site. It really is time to educate..You guys keep it up”

LockerLegends is a dream come true. It puts aside all ego’s, conflicts, and only wants to factually report the history as well as bring all of the many dancer’s who made contributions to this great art of Locking to the forefront with proper recognition. This site also wants to bring people like myself into the fold as a brother and student to continue to teach us the art we have spent a lifetime to learn. Locking has influenced my life in a large positive way and has brought me many blessings as it has also done to many other dancers that I have had the honor to call my friends

    Hello, my name is Michi Kasuga from Japan.
Despite all the misunderstandings about locking all over the world, there are still people who are trying
to preserve its true art form. LockerLegends.net, without a doubt, provides the
most credible information on locking. Also, since the knowledge is thefoundation of the dance, it must be studied in order for anyone to become a locker. I hereby thank James “Skeeter Rabbit” Higgins for all the
kindness and inspiration. I also thank all other dedicated lockers for supporting truelocking. I cannot wait to see locking being largely admired just like back inthe 70s. I am sure that locking will regain its popularity sooner or later
because it deserves more respect than what it has today.

Hi, we are the Funky Four Brothers and we are from Sweden.

We think it’s great that this website exists because here you can find such things as history of Locking and the histories about the OG’s.

Thank you for what you did to us and the Swedish lockers. And one more thing Greg and James: guess where we’re at… SWEDEN!

 

Keep it funky!

Original Lockers on the screen, you’ve got to be fast to
steal moves or at least get some ideas of the form. It was
so quick that you almost didn’t see anything. Over the
years, much confusion and speculations have spread around
the world. Now, the truth and the original artform will be
preserved through the LOCKERLEGENDS.”
