Locking looks similar to popping, and the two are frequently confused by the casual observer. In locking, dancers hold their positions longer. The "lock" is the primary move used in locking. It is "similar to a freeze or a sudden pause." A locker's dancing is characterized by frequently "locking" in place and after a brief freeze moving again. According to "Dance Spirit" magazine, a dancer cannot perform both locking and popping simultaneously; thus, it is incorrect to call locking "pop-locking". While both styles are from Los Angeles, locking and popping are two distinct funk styles with their own histories, their own set of dance moves, their own pioneers, and their own competition categories. Locking is more playful and character-driven, whereas popping is more illusory. In popping, dancers push the boundaries of what they can do with their bodies. Locking has specific dance moves that distinguish it from popping and other funk styles. In the 2006 book "Total Chaos", hip-hop historian Jorge "Popmaster Fabel" Pabon lists some of these moves which include "the lock, points, skeeter , scooby doos, stop 'n go, which-away, and the fancies." In addition, Lockers commonly use a distinctive dress style characterized by colorful clothing with stripes and suspenders.
