One of the only locking groups in the bay that focuses on just that…Locking! Everybody can do other styles as well though =). Originally founded in the East Coast, we form the West Coast side of Groovmekanex (Funkee Asiatic, DocLock, Jaypee, Mikey P, and myself).

Nu-Origin
The first dance group I was in. We were called Chain Reaction at first (later changed our name after learning about the OG Chain Reaction). We started around 97 and ended officially about 2008. We were known for incorporating humor in our routines. Our style was Hip-Hop choreography at first, but towards the end we started to study other styles. Lots of good memories with these guys, I consider them my brothers.
