Waacking is an African American form of street dance[1] originating from the 1970s disco era in Los Angeles,[2] this dance is also composed by hip hop.[3] Waacking consists of moving the arms to the music beat.[4][5]
Waacking was popularized by Soul Train and influenced the creation of Outrageous Waacking Dancers, a Los Angeles-based waacking dance group.[6][4] Waacking gained national attention through the American TV series So You Think You Dance in 2011[1] when the dance routine was choreographed by Kumari Suraj,[1] a pioneer in waacking and founder of waacking dance crew The Waackers.[3] Kumari has been considered the "Queen of Waacking Nuevo".[7][8]
Waacking is powered by the Imperial House of Waacking, who runs the waacking.com website and is led by Ausbin "Aus" Ninja, son of former Outrageous Waacking Dancers member Tyrone Proctor.[9] The dance has been incorporated by dance programs including the Department for Theatre and Dance at University of South Carolina.[2]
