Lizzie Gough, a judge on 'Alesha鈥檚 Street Dance Stars', teaches a masterclass focussing on locking with the help of a dance group named 5XS. Lizzie gives a brief history of locking, followed by an example of the style by two different groups. The warm-up is taught in a follow-my-leader style with clear teaching points and counts throughout, working up to the beat. Lizzie introduces locking steps including isolations. There are four sections with each section containing two counts of eight. The sections are broken down and repeated both with teaching points and counts; visual and oral direction are given throughout. Section two will allow group members to work with partners and section four will allow dancers to travel off the spot. Lizzie and 5XS then perform all four sections together to music, with the piece performed twice to show how the travel section could be used.
