Knee Lock is an interesting support that we first learned from Rebekah Leach. There are many ways into this skill and this video focuses on understanding how Knee Lock works by looking at it from the ground, and going over teaching tips for the two main entrances we teach our students.
The two main entrances we teach, in the order that we teach them, are entering from a Hip Key and entering from a Lock Off. This skill can be explored in relation to its related skill that we call Hip Key Fake Seat, where no lock is created.
This skill can be used during exits from a variety of Hip Key skills including CEO Seat (formerly called Secretary Seat) and others, and our intermediate level students often use Knee Lock in their choreography.
