What does waacking mean?
A dance style from the 1970s disco era, born in the LGBTQ clubs of Los Angeles. It's all about the arms, fast rotational throws, sharp poses, attitude and glamour for days, danced to up-tempo disco. It runs adjacent to vogue and the two have borrowed from each other heavily over the decades, which is why people often mention them in the same breath.
