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 ^^

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.

@papaya388 this reminds me so much of electro dance!

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

[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!

[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.

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.
