A look into my groove. From studio choreography sessions to freestyle cyphers, this is the energy we build together. Whether you are a total beginner or looking to sharpen your locking, find your rhythm here.

This is what it’s all about: feeling the music and letting go. Here’s a look at my freestyle house dancing during a cypher. It’s this energy and focus on musicality that I bring into every class I teach.

Here’s a glimpse into one of my house dance choreography sessions. We work on building routines together, focusing on clean execution and group sync. This is a great way to see how we progress from basics to a full performance piece.

Locking is all about character and funk. This is a clip of me freestyling during a battle, showcasing the sharp, rhythmic movements that define this old-school dance style.

This is my student locking team bringing home the championship trophy. I choreograph and train groups for performances and competitions, focusing on building a strong, unified crew. I am incredibly proud of what we achieve together.

Want to learn a move? Here is a quick tutorial on the 'Leo Walk', a foundational step in Locking. My classes break down complex moves like this, so you can build your skills step by step, even as a total beginner.

Dance is also about collaboration and having fun with friends. Here’s a high-energy routine I put together with a fellow dancer, showing the fun, collaborative spirit we encourage in our community.

It was an honor to meet and learn from one of my biggest inspirations, the legendary house dancer Sekou Heru. Connecting with the global dance community helps me bring authentic knowledge and energy back to my students in Bangalore.

About Featured

In my classes, we do not just drill steps until you drop. We actually listen to the beat. Whether it is locking or house, I focus on musicality, that moment you stop counting and start feeling the rhythm. It is why I call my students the Three Houseketeers; we move as a crew, not just individuals in a room.

I am Gagan. I divide my time between the thump of my Royal Enfield and the beat on the floor. I do not do fancy, overly produced classes. I teach dance the way I learned it: with soul, street culture, and plenty of funk.
