In reference to our decision to spell the style as Whacking instead of Waacking: We will be sharing some information we've learned from our STEEZY Studio instructor and Whacking advisor Lorena Valenzuela @thelorenav, whose mentor is Viktor Manoel (One of the Original Punkers). First off, Whacking uses the word Whack because it's based on the old Batman comic book pop art texts, like "WHACK!" "BOOM!" "POW!". Anyways.... Around the 70's, a dancer named Tyrone Proctor moved from New York to participate in Soul Train (in California). There he met some of the Original Punkers and started learning from them. He later moved back to New York and started sharing this "west coast" style called "Waacking". Viktor didn't know why he started spelling it that way. Viktor thinks he just misspelled it because back in the day there was not a lot of documentation or written proof of what these guys were doing... so he just heard the word and thought it was spelled like that. The spread of misinformation came largely due to the fact that most of the Original Punkers died of AIDS in the 80's and 90's and Viktor retired from the dance industry because of the pain of losing all of his friends. However, Tyrone Proctor became very famous and was one of the few dancers from the early days of Whacking/Punking that was still teaching around the world. This means that much of the newer generations were taught by Tyrone. However... around 2009, Toni Basil brought Viktor back into the scene and valuable information about the style of Whacking and the Original Punkers started to spread. This resurfacing of this information created so much confusion around the world. At STEEZY, we are choosing to respect cultural roots and break the cycle of misinformation within dance by talking to the originals and their students. We hope this clears up our reasoning!
he started spelling it in a different way because of the negative connotation of the word "whacking" = to strike with force and also to avoid the sexual connotation from "to whack off"
Jeffrey Daniels put the extra A in 1978 (ebony magazine, 1978 interview to the "outrageous waack dancers"). Maybe this also helps to break the cycle of misinformation.
Just know Krumpers will hype literally any style of dancers, I got homies here in Oside and SD that are part of a huge krump community and they hype tf out of my ballet/contemporary friend when he fused his style with hiphop in a battle..Krumpers know dancers feed off energy, hence why krump is always live
@@starlight.genesis I'm not talking about this video, I've been watching battles for over 10years now, top waackers like Ibuki, Lip j, Yoon ji etc are waay technical than top krumpers like Tight Eyez or Ugly Fate... they dance with a lot of emotions, different emotions. And by "diffeent emotions" I mean Kurmpers always dance with this "anger" emotion, while Waackers dance with anger, sadness, joy etc.. it depends on the music. So I wasn't talking about the moves, if that was the case then Breaking would be the most difficult dance, because no one can do the powermoves bboy Kill or bboy Physicxx and those bboys do. That's just my opinion and I'm not tryna convince anyone here hh
@@imkotable Well I assumed to you were talking about this video cuz you weren't talking about any other videos. And yeah, I've been watching them too. They challenge the traditional sense of waacking, especially Ibuki, since she goes super fast with so much emotion. it's pretty captivating.
@@robertlaieta7743 yeah, I've been there. That choreo was too complicated for their level. Untrained brains can only process so much. After a certain point, the brain becomes mush, and everything you've been juggling drops. That's a sign to the instructor that they've given too much choreography.
@@dancereaper The first time (and last time) I tried beginner Waacking was too hard for me lol. The arms were pretty confusing to figure out the way they moved, but then footwork was added and juggling the two together was the death of me
john really went for it w the whacking!!! kudos to him!!! that was definitely a really difficult piece but damn he refused to give up, i love it. and tbh everyone did well, i really like this concept! i love dancers hyping each other up and learning new things so i'm so down for more of this.
Its kinda lamest and most easy style of dance to be honest. Gringe krumpers dont have real musicality in them.. Its like krumping is like mumble rap compared to real rap if you know what i mean..
@cirkuspolle since it’s the “most easy style of dance,” are you able to krump? The krumping in this video is underwhelming. So, if you think this is a good portrayal, then that answers my question.
@@lynetteminute Do mumble rappers know how to rap? Naa, they dont have to. So yes, i could krump but i would never embrass myself like that.. Prefer real dance over this millenial stuff.
@@cirkuspolle oh no. It is real dance though. It might be a "younger" type of dance but because it was only created over a decade ago but dance isn't considered dance after a certain period amount of time. All the styles we're at one point really "young". You gotta stop with the generational thing it doesn't matter anymore. If you have musicality and are willing to move then its dance.
Sherwin's movement is insane...like he has insane control for such an explosive dance style...krump is very powerful yet he controls that power so well which makes his moves super sharp despite how much force he puts into each move...it's like mixing poppin and krump in one person...it's just amazing
I love how hyped the boys are when the girls where giving it their all. It's cool seeing how they both struggled with the others styles, the whackers struggling to get the weight of the movement and the krumpers struggling with the sheer amount of movement. This was a great watch
I can't believe my eyes! How did those whacking girls managed to showcase? Thanks for sharing and keep inspiring us, steezystudio!!! Love you guys from India 🇮🇳
1:00 look at Lip J battling with Kana. Like damn she is literally everywhere and she's not kidding when she said she's joined almost every battle out there 👀
As a dancer who does Krumping, Krumping though looks very fierce and wild it's very systematic. You need to plan your movements or it'll look very messy and just angry. Most of the Krumpers I've met are like the sweetest people tho they're absolute demons on the stage. Wacking is one style I find really amusing and actually wanna learn but in this video the wackers surely did the Krumpers dirty XD that surely wasn't a beginner combo
@@rightinfrontofmysalad7356 Ok as a born and raised in New Yorker need to keep track which side created these dance because leave me confused. Pop and locking was created in California and up and down rocking was created in NYC. NYC created rap in the streets, krumping I thought I was created in the south. That's what people tell me in Florida but I don't see it. NYC created the p diddy's Shuffle. From nyc perspective they told us house was created in soul train. Ok I broke my brain cuase I lost of the other type of dances we have in NYC. Ok where did Lmoa Shuffling dance came from? For me it doesn't matter where it comes from I just enjoy people having these dances. But still curious where they came from
I feel like with the krump, that the girls were just learning another routine in a style they already had experience in. The girl in the olive pants absolutely killed it.
Interesting combination the most raw masculine style with the most precise feminine style. Both of them have similar issues of having very polarized fan base/practitioners. They definitely gained some respect for each others craft.
In my experience tutorials didn't help me much when I was first learning waacking, a lot of them teach techniques completely different to how they are actually done in real life.. best way to learn the style is to watch videos of people dancing and just learm from what you see
Elli Jelly Nope, it is still important to learn these foundations to give respect to the culture of the style. It just looks different from dancer to dancer because each have their identity and are different from each other. The best way to learn styles is to attend intensive workshops about the style, not just simply copying and being ignorant of the correct way to do it.
@@daveibrahim1962 I am not saying it's not important to learn the foundation, I just disagree with how and where you should learn it. Back in the 70s there were no Waacking workshops or online classes, you learned by just going to the club and watching other people dance, which is exactly what I was suggesting to Thatiana.
Elli Jelly thank you both for telling me your opinions, it’s really necessary to give feedback to those who are thinking about signing up for these classes, since they’re definitely not cheap. I appreciate it
This was so freaking COOL!!!!!!!! I loved every minute of this video! Each style was so interesting to watch and learn more about. I feel like the whackers were freaking mesmerizing and i would love to learn to whack at that level one day
this was so wholesome and perfect. poor guys got an advanced wacking piece but its okay the guy in the front still did GREAT for such an advanced combo.
I just remember in my P.E activity about different dance styles. My teacher assigned everyone to do one dance style. I got *Krumping* . Not a dancer I usually stiff while dancing but got a highest score on that activity.
Lily Frias is a beast. She picked up the krumping pretty well but their facial expressions weren't aggressive enough. And the wacking was not a beginners course but the bigger dude picked it up pretty good!
I'm literally just finished taking Salonga's beginner Krump class on Steezy and it was sooooooo satisfying I can't wait to learn more. I love this form of expression it feels like the perfect way for me to process my trauma like breaking out of a cage. I also have titanium rods down my spine from T1-L1 due to Scoliosis but since there's not that much movement in that area of the spine with Krump moves it's perfect for my body. Even the way krumpers hold that core steady it's almost protective of that area of the spine. Another fan commented somewhere below about how Krump can be spiritual and ecstatic when you go off and lose yourself in it and that that's the ancestors moving through you. I found this fascinating because I'm already a practitioner of specific type of ecstatic dance called 'Movement Medicine' which is based in shamanic knowledge, is freestyle but guided by a specific type of music and vocal prompts. After being inspired by Jaja's choreo to 'No olvidar' I noticed a krump movement from that dance pop out of me during a movement medicine session when the vocal prompt was to connect with my ancestors. Coincidence? I think they want me to Krump! :) Thanks Steezy for the awesome classes!
In my dance journey in krumping and the the west coast styles of hip hop such Locking, Boogaloo, Popping. I started to see a lot of groove similarities in locking and krumping, the groove is almost the same in both just executed differently. In locking the energy that travels through the shoulders gets regenerated to the next move. While in Krump it more accented with harder hits, long story short I think you should have another episode like with lockers and krumpers.
Yeah dance is a language . And language's have similarities and differences. Locking and waacking are kinda similar Locking = masculine Waacking/vogue =feminine
Its spelt "Waacking" I recently joined Tyrone's memorial service on zoom alongside his life partners Jeffrey Daniels and Archie Burnett to name a few, including his now prodigee, Lockeroo. We sat through about 5 hours of Dance and Culture conversations on the origins of not only Waacking but Vogueing and House and general social dancing. Although not directly from Tyrone, his immediate family and friends have said the spelling is "Waacking". Happy to provide more information on this.
im so amazed that kana (from whacking) the clip of her in a dance battle with lip j amazes me thats so amazing that she got to battle against THE LIP J
Tap Dance and Housing!! They're very similar but at the same time very different! I mean I know housing takes some tap elements..but I would love to see it
I’ve tried both krumping and waacking and they are both hard no matter what. But I love both so much. When you first try both you’re gonna be in pain but FIGHT THROUGH IT❤️
I don't know the first thing about dancing. Clicked on this randomly. But I LOVE this! The dancing is amazing. Seeing everyone hyped for their new friends. Beautiful!

I feel like the name wacking perfectly describes the style too....wack.
Krump Guys - " This is beginner Krump..."
Whacking girls - " This is advanced Whacking..."
It's just that Waacking is way difficult than Krump, those hand moves are like basic moves in Waacking tho they are difficult af

well he said that it was his first, i feel him

I was living y’all!!!!!
As hard as this was for the krumpers the guy in the middle lowkey goes off 🎉🎉🎉🎉 even if he is making up some of it 😂
I loved the humility of this SO MUCH. Hey ladies, maybe go a little more beginner for the dudes hahaha

Almost every other dance movie

Up u go sir
ballet should never be in vids like these bc it takes at least 7 years to become even slightly decent 😂 it's too much technique and details

YES THISSS^^^ WE NEED THIS TO GET LIKES BOIS
The most different styles 😹😹😹
That would be hard lol

the guy in the red/black shirt did soooo good at waaking!!!!
Whacking girls hit the krumping moves👌🏻💥🔥
Omg, Lily is so good. Her popping shows
Such a cool video idea. Love that they are sharing in each others styles and having fun.
Nah this series was soooo good wtf lol, the girls were amazing at Krump man, I wanted to see them enjoy it more !
I remember in my crew we selected all our krumpers together as a group to dance our waacking choreo. surprisingly they all killed it.
im so amazed that kana (from whacking) the clip of her in a dance battle with lip j amazes me
thats so amazing that she got to battle against THE LIP J
You should invite someone to teach about Electro Dance (danse electro), muzzing, and industrial dance!
Tap Dance and Housing!! They're very similar but at the same time very different!
I mean I know housing takes some tap elements..but I would love to see it
I’ve tried both krumping and waacking and they are both hard no matter what. But I love both so much. When you first try both you’re gonna be in pain but FIGHT THROUGH IT❤️
I don't know the first thing about dancing. Clicked on this randomly. But I LOVE this! The dancing is amazing. Seeing everyone hyped for their new friends. Beautiful!
Lily is such a force!
Whacking is like seriously confusing
"It's like an 8 count in one count" bro I felt that ugh!!
7:33 the guy to the right had absolutely no idea what he was doing lol
dude I LOVE that you guys decided to put in the instructors reaction too!!! also I LOVE THE ENERGY AND THE HYPE IN THE PERFORMANCES!!!!!!! OMG
Ok Whackers did them dirty, but the dread head Krumper absolutely killed the Whacking. Dude was serving face and vibes loll
