[HarliQDuh]

This is THE most embarrasing example of Whaacking I have ever seen! You clearly need to go back WAAAAAY back and do ur research Hunny. And if that was supposed to be a lesson in dance then I dont know wat person is supposed to understand anything ur talkin about. Im really dissappointed in the BBC for airing this and even investing their time into it. TUT TUT!

[mizmoodz1]

right now i wish i could give u a damn high five!!! i dont know what she was doing!!! embarassing indeed!!!

[bebsymus]

I love it!

[mizmoodz1]

not a very good example of whacking and vogueing...very simple steps, that arent shown properly. she repeated the same moves continuosly, watch, vogueing or whacking battles...ull get a better insight, its obvious she only knows what she was taught. bless.

[ebiokpo]

so basically u guys can't count the beat so you say boom kack...lol..

[TheRussianTiger]

there are no counts, its a freestyle, you go any speed you want as long as your dancing to the music.... you must be a studio dancer.

[heymanwatswrong]

thanks for this. we need more vids on youtube explaining the difference between these styles!

[InadaptadaBsAsHipHop]

great!

[darkcloud03]

So, the British call voguing whacking? Interesting.

[booyaka90]

is there a paticular reason she keeps saying "kack"?

[MiissCiia]

It's boom kack, but a kack is a hit when you dance, boom is like something that leads into it. Cos with commercial styles you don't hit hard on a 8 count..So we use like....words and noises. Like we might tut, or clock with our mouth, and say voom, or boom back, or na na..you know.

[shakiii78]

think of it as her beat, a lot of dancers do it to help them

[papaya388]

it's more of a"ka", very common in different hiphop-genres, like whacking, locking, new style, crumping, etc because we don't count our moves in "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8", we dance to the "noises" in the song, like if the beat goes "boom,-ka!-wo-boom,-boboom,-ka­-ka," we make noises and do the movements to the sound and not to the "5, 6, 7, 8" :P

It's hard not to know if you don't dance, I understand ^^

[sesshoumaru1120]

@papaya388 this reminds me so much of electro dance!

[ninja893]

cute its still looks alittle funny to me when people mix vogue fem movements with the disco style of waacking because of them being from two different dances like popping and locking, but as time gos by and the vocabulary of the practitioners of this dance grows the understanding will become alot more clear..hehe

[hempgru4]

basically electro dance/tecktonik?

[cherryceejay]

[Yendarc]

That is FANTASTIC!

[ninja893]

VOGUE AND WAACKING ARE TWO CONTRASTING STYLE'S, and only at a High Level Should they be mixed, but when Showing Waacking, Should Be Waacking. To show moves with Vogue confuses people to think they are they same style's, most most people dont have the knowlege of knowing this

[oliviacangel]

Omg get over it!

No one is disputing the fact that they are two different styles, but the two styles compliment each other which is why so many people mix them. Who are you to dictate at what level different styles of dancing should be mixed? Why don't you stop criticising others and concentrate on yourself because you're certainly not perfect *see your use of grammar and capital letters*

[ChockedBazooka]

They dont compliment each other so well if you know what image these styles arte trying to create. The idea behind the dances and the music theyre danced to is different. Only if you use a watered-down version of the elements of these styles, it may appeal that these styles are complimenting each other. Don see criticism as a negative thing, but moreso as a guideline to improve what youre doing or at least an insight to another perspective.

[brooksnythomas]

I totally agree. What is up with the education level of these art-form. If one is explaining something (teaching) please teach properly.

[hanelika]

COOL

[Yendarc]

That is Ooh la la!

[Karewmoz]
