An infectious grin, funky enuff like ya grandpa’s draws, a down-by-law dancer, who needs no introduction, Greg Campbellock Jr, member of The Lockers, the first street dance group to achieve fame, has passed on.
Our dance commUnity is morning our loss. Whether a Locker, Bboy/Bgirl, Popper, Freestyle, House Head.. We are all one, he is us, and we are him. If it wasn’t for Don Campellock, Greg Campbellock Jr, Fred Berry, Shabba Doo, Toni Basil, Slim the Robot, and Fluky Luke, we wouldn’t be here, as street dancers. The Lockers paved the way for what we do, and to this day their legacy of dance is untouchable.
I had the pleasure to enjoy Greg’s company throughout the years, at various jams, and felt like kin to him. Though he was a Bad Ass mofo, he remained humble and generally enjoyed the company of dancers far and wide who could learn from him, always giving his best for everyone.
Let us come together, through this great loss, and fellowship, showing strength in numbers, ready to build on what this great man did, and make him proud of what we make of it!
