#whacking

Whacking is another dance style that originated in the gay clubs of the 70s but while vogue was inspired by magazines and poses , whacking was inspired in the dramatic poses and acting of golden age Hollywood stars , the show Batman (hence the name whacking ), martial arts moves ( some arm moves resemble nunchucks) , and also silent movies. In the video is O.G Viktor Manoel (he is Mexican / American ) he toured with David Bowie in the glass spider tour , he is the last O.G left 🥲

M A D E F O R L O V E - It’s finally time to reveal @papadakiscizeron_official’s 2021-22 Rhythm Dance, featuring the music of @johnlegend. Here are their words, translated below (original French on their profile): Very, very excited to unveil our new programs for this Olympic season at the French Masters in Epinal, followed by the Finlandia Trophy in Espoo! For Rhythm Dance, we fell in love with @John Legend’s voice in “Made to Love” and “You & I”. With the collaboration of @axelle_ebony @kimgingras @sam.chouinard7 and @mf_dubreuil, we explored lyrical hip-hop as well as 'Whacking', a dance style born in Los Angeles in the 80s, to respond to the theme of the season: ‘Street Dance’. Tomorrow we will unveil the theme of our Free Dance… ✨ Video: @oniceperspectives Music edit: @sk8mixhugo ❄️ #gabriellapapadakis #guillaumecizeron #iceacademyofmontreal #icedancer #icedancing #johnlegend #whacking #hiphop #isufigureskating #iceskate #figureskate #iceskating #figureskating #iceskater #figureskater #icerink #icedance #patinage #patinaje #patinadores #pattinaggio #patinajeartistico #patinageartistique #pattinaggioartistico #patinajesobrehielo #フィギュアスケート #피겨스케이팅 #фигурноекатание (at Montreal, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUYLR9RJLgY/?utm_medium=tumblr
