Course Summary
After learning the basic steps in posing dance style, the learning journey progresses to Whacking. Whacking - the term indicates striking with force or a sharp blow. It involves perfecting the whacking dance techniques.
This course is designed by a seasoned performer and teacher Leena Arora who finds this dance form spiritual and meditative. If you have completed the beginner’s course by Leena, you are well aware of the history and philosophy behind the Punking dance style.
Leena says - the punking dance style is popularly known as Whacking or some people use both the terms interchangeably. But she prefers to call the intermediate level where the emphasis is more on techniques - whacking. The dance techniques exude a non-conformist and rebellious attitude that comes naturally once you learn to appreciate the philosophy of punking.
