WAACKING
🌺
Latin and jazz dance foot work can be seen within the style of
waaking as the dancers move around the space but the focus
always comes back to the arms and hands. Waaking has a
noticeably feminine flair, and is a very expressive and
sometimes an aggressive form of freestyle dance.

The dance was infact actually first called

Punking, as Punk was a derogatory term for gay
men at the time, and using it was the
community’s way of flipping the term on its head,
and turning it into something positive.
 HISTORY

• Whacking originated in gay clubs in the 1970s in

California during the Funk and Disco music era. It was in
these clubs that LGBTQ African-Americans, Latinx, and
Asians found sanctuary from the various oppressions
they faced and could feel free to express their true selves
through dance and dress.
• Waacking (also whacking, posing or punking) is a form of
street dance created in the LGBTQIA+ clubs of Los Angeles
during the 1970s disco era.The style is typically done to 70s
disco music and is mainly distinguishable by its rotational
arm movements, posing and emphasis on expressiveness.
