GOOD DAY

EVERYONE!
TO DAY WERE GOING TO KNOW WHAT IS
WAACKING IN HIP-HOP?
WAACKING- WAACKING IS A DANCE STYLE THAT WAS CREATED IN DANCE CLUBS ON
THE WEST COAST OF THE USA IN THE 1970S. WAACKING IS CHARACTERIZED BY A FOCUS
ON ARM MOVEMENTS, CREATING SHAPES AND POSES ABOVE AND AROUND THE HEAD
IN A FAST-MOVING STYLE. WAACKING IS OFTEN DANCED TO DISCO MUSIC.
WHAT ARE THE BASIC STEP OF WAACKING?

1. WHACKING MOVE #1: LINES

Extend 1 arm down, directly to the side, and straight up, to the side again, and back down.
Repeat this same pattern with the other arm.
• Do it with both arms at the same time.
2. WHACKING MOVE #2: OVERHEAD

Start with your hands around your collarbone area, then move them up and behind your
neck.
• Your chest will naturally protrude as your hands go back.
3. WHACKING MOVE #3: ROLLS

Starting with your arm by your side, “roll” it the first time, completing around your chest,
then roll it again to end behind your neck.

Repeat these 2 rolls on your other arm.

• Do it with both arms at the same time.
