Everything is allowed as long it has something to do with the FunkStyles that originated from the west coast.

#Styles ##Popping Based around the fundamental 'hit' or 'pop'. Encompasses many different styles including waving, strobing, animation, boogaloo, scarecrow, toy-man, puppet, and botting.

##Locking The first funkstyle dance. This dance is centered around many fundamental moves including the lock, the muscle-man (up-lock), uncle sam points, and wrist rolls. Originally established by Don 'Campbellock' Campbell and the group he developed: 'The Lockers'.
