Whacking
Punking, later on known as Waacking/ Whacking is a style that emerged in the 1970s underground gay clubs of LA by people of colour. It's recognised by the behaviour/attitude, posing and striking with force. This is a dynamic dance which uses a lot of sharp arm movements, storytelling and freedom. The dance became popular through Soul Train and so often danced to disco music, but we like to use various music genres to create different feelings and tell different stories.
