      Yes. Fred (Re-Run/Mr. Penguin), Berry, Shabba Doo, Poppin' Pete and Toni Basil all used to dance on Soul Train starting back in the 1970's. Poppin' Pete was an original/founding member of Electric Boogaloo group. Fred, Shabba Doo & Toni were all original/founding members of The Lockers. All of them were so good. Toni is still dancing at 76! Shabbo Doo is 64 and Poppin' Pete is 58 so I'm sure they are still dancing. Not sure what happened to Spaz. RIP Fred Berry.

      The Lockers was an excellent dance group formed by Toni Basil. If you know anything about Soul Music, look them up on Soul Train. These brothers were the hippest dudes that created artistic moves on the dance floor. Shout out to the B Boys and Crazy Leggs who were also creative dance artists from the Hip Hop Culture.
