Waacking, a powerful dance style that originated in the gay clubs of LA in the disco era, is most often recognized for its fast arm movements and feminine flare.
Waacking is one of the fundamental styles of Hip-Hop. The style began in LA gay clubs in the 70's where Black, Latinx, and Asian gay men were able to fully express themselves in a time when they had to hide their gay identities.
