j-hope NEEDS to see this!!! ๐ฅน Toni Basil shared the post of Locking Neil (
#teamjhope), where he and j-hope were dancing Locking during โlock/unlock,โ on her Instagram Stories. Why is this such a big deal?
Because THE Toni Basilโan absolute icon, 81 years old and still dancing Locking to this dayโis a legend in the street dance world. She co-founded The Lockers in 1971 with Don โCampbellockโ Campbell, one of the pioneers of street dance! ๐
The Lockers, active throughout the 1970s, specialised in locking, a style of funk dance, breaking barriers with their groundbreaking performances.
Basil, who also became a pop sensation with her 1980s hit song โHey Mickeyโ, continues to leave her mark as she teaches and judges internationally in the street dance community ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ

This is why I believe j-hope is one of the best dancers in the world. Itโs not just about his top-tier skillsโhe embodies the very essence of dance. Itโs in his soul. During his concert, he dedicated an entire set not only to showcase dancers but to uplift them, opening the doors for us to experience the world of street dance. When your purpose is that pure and powerful, it resonates far beyond the stage. He will continue to be a flame that breathes life into the dance community, keeping its spirit burning bright! ๐คฉ๐คฉ
