What is waacking?

Waacking is a style of dance that originated in the 1970s at gay clubs in Los Angeles. It is a fusion of disco, funk, and jazz that has been described as “punking” or “whacking”.

The name “waacking” comes from the sound of the arms “whacking” out to the side during the dance. It is characterized by exaggerated arm movements, isolations, and poses. Waacking is a highly expressive dance, where the dancer can interpret the music and the lyrics to the song.

The dance is performed to funk, disco, and house music. It is often accompanied by stylized poses and isolations that emphasize the beat and the rhythm. Waacking is often performed as a solo dance, but it can also be danced as a duet or group dance.

The waacking scene is vibrant and growing all around the world, with events and competitions being held in many countries. Waacking is a great dance to learn, as it requires no previous dance experience and can be adapted to fit any style of music. It is also a great way to express yourself and tell a story through dance.

So if you’re looking for a new dance to learn, why not try waacking? It’s fun, creative, and sure to get you moving.
