Waacking (also whacking) is a street dance style with origins stemming from punking, a dance created in the gay clubs of Los Angeles[1][2] during the 1970s disco era.[3] The style is typically done to 1970s disco and 1980s post-disco music[4] and is mainly distinguishable by its rotational arm movements, posing and emphasis on expressiveness.
