I respect anybody who does waacking because if you dont do it correctly it just looks like your throwing your arms around. I requires such control and these people in the video have my full respect. I started learning waacking several months a go and im not close mastering it yet so props to these dancers

I love watching this very dramatic style of dance, but can't help thinking about people dancing like this in clubs and getting WAACKED in the head by those flying arm movements. I'm guessing that's where it gets that name? LOL!

I'm sorry but I've just found about this dance style from a few STREETSTAR competition videos and this video and I MUST say that this looks like the most fun, enjoyable street dance I've ever witnessed and I would honestly *MUCH* prefer to learn how to do this over vogueing so SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME THANK YOU I LOVE YOU!!! MWAH!!!

Wacking was in the birth place in Los Angeles (west coast). Voguing was in the birth place in New York (east coast). Pretty much both styles are uniquely awesome and everyone does it! #WerQ!

Andraž Prokofjev Both dances emerged from gay club culture in the 70s, both women and men dance both waacking and vogue, although vogue is a lot more common now among gay men. If you want a layman's difference, waacking is based more on Hollywood and character posing, it's about imitating the styles of Hollywood stars and posing to film in a very animated way. Vogue is more cosmopolitan, so it's about posing for the camera, It's more still and catwalk like, you know (Madonna) Strike a Pose. Both styles are unique but also very interchangeable. If you watch this video and then concentrate on guy #20 near the end, he is using a bigger mixture of vogue in his waacking than everyone else, compared to especially the black women who are a lot more soulful and fluid, he's accentuating the pose and striking lot more. The dances are very different today, but you can essentially go from waacking to vogue no problems, they have very similar concepts and foundations, but their features are quite distinguishable.

@@SKY_GodAngel idk i see the difference pretty clearly, the element hand performance from vogue seems similar to wacking but there is a more femme energy in the movements compared to what your seeing here. Voguing also includes duck walking spins and dips and some other elements that really don't appear in wacking. both wacking and hand performance rely on structured movements with clear silhouettes and posing and all that stuff, but old way vouging didnt move at the same speed as wacking as it was more about the posing, while new way hand performance is a bit closer since its much faster then old way but the movements still have more of a femme energy too them. Idk i can see it, like even the girls wacking here aren't doing it as femme as the people who vogue hand performance since its not just in the hand movements but also the body. Voguing has a lot of over exaggeration of the hips. i would just watch the fennty rihanna video of leiomy and just see how much more femme she moves and all the movement types she implements that arent present in this video(namely spins, hair flips, dips) the last go tho is deff dipping into some vogue esque movements

I have first watched this vid in 2009 at the time when it was posted. I don't know what is going on in US, but waacking scene in East Asia (including Korea, Japan, China) has grown so big that it is almost as big as that of popping and locking now. It is getting recognized as a disdinct style under the umbrella of funk styles, as popping and locking do. You can see Pop&Lock events are transitioning to Pop&Lock&Waack events nowadays. As a locker my self, it's nice that Funk Style is flourishing

This old! My girls and I used to do these moves in the 80's

As others have stated- waacking began in LA in disco era clubs, meanwhile vogueing was happening in balls in nyc in the same era. Do we think those two blurred and borrowed from each other? You bet- but do only New Yorkers understand? No.

The name is Waacking, and the first guy is me my name is Aus Hello lol, Im from the imperial house of waacking our website will be up very soon so stay tuned

Thank you! Finally somebody who is making sense :) people who know vogue only from ABDC and think they can state something about the history/influence/whatever of Waacking and Voguing are a little disturbing to me... btw I love your videos!!

looks so classy, like contemporary mixed with tecktonik ahahahah

wow dope

oh no!! i accidentally clicked the 1 star but i really liked it!

haha i like how almost everyone in the background has a serious pose with the hands on their hips.

no problem - its rare to see waacking in battle yet at all, so just givin a little window to the world to see what does dowwn :)

This dance started out in the gay dance clubs in LA/Hollywood. It's really similar to locking in a way.

wooooow...the second guy is kid boogie from machine gone funk...I knew that he could pop(amazingly) and lock but wacking...I had no freaking idea:)

i love every one of you!

o yea and for the guy who said they took vogue, Waacking was way before the vogue became a dance, waacking already was being done on the west coast, lets do our history deeper, the history along with videos from the original waack dancers from the early 70s will be on the website

14 and 20 had it down!

Is this what they did down the soul train lines? It looks very similar.

my favorite was the girl in the black shorts and tied button up! =)

Merci thanik you so muuuuch Flipsoul86

@thebrianianday They can't waack but they can whack. There shouldn't be haters. This is pure elegance!

what type of style is Waacking. it kinda looks like vougeing. im not dissing it. it looks like a sick style i would wanna learn. i jus know nothing about it lol. can somebody help me out

that girl from 2:40 ROCKED!

Would love to see you try.

what is the name of that SONG, my GOD it's got groove...

fucking good

10X harder than it looks :)

GOD! i wish i could have gone ;.;

@seresballet1 and you know the name of this song?

@tsoppannos the way that these two guys were dancing was really hot !!

The first and last girl I liked the best. They were all good and I'm inpressed that most of the girls could do that in heels. But the heels did seem to impair some of them though, like their feet had to be planted. Still that last girl was a beast.

Alguem sabe o nome dessa musica??

🔥 🔥 🔥

Jed rocks!!!!!! who knows the name of the song please?

So that's what Ashtray and Loc Dog were dancing at the parking lot. lol

I looove the guy at 4:08!!

please does someone know the name of the song...... :'(

please what's the name of the song ?

powerr girls and men !!

That's really cool, but I just don't understand it.. Is there like a form involved or are they just improvising?

number 14, YOU GO GIRL!!! (=

waacking started before voguing. It's a totally different style of dance. Both have different origins, waacking came from a style called posing in the 1970's, voguing originated from reading, shade and runway in the 1980's.
