Keep history of Whackg (Waackg)Whackg found s start the 1970s gay clubs of Los Angel where high-energy funk and dis mic domated the was the clubs that poor Black, Lato, and Asian men found the eedom to exprs themselv through movement, spe the opprsive environments they faced day-to-day life. Origally lled “Punkg, Whackg emerged as a style that foced on empowerment and while “Punk” was origally a rogatory term, the gay muny reclaimed as a posive actn verb.

(Viktor Manoel)Whackg found s way out of the LA gay club scene and onto the Soul Tra dance floor by way of a few origal Punks, Arthur, Tker, and Andrew. This dance style was named punkg bee "punk" was a rogatory term for gay men the 1970s. Tyrone: 'Waackg me om the gay muny the early's 70's on the Wt Coast and evolved om what the gay muny was dog all along.

GAY DANCE

Early 70s the gay clubs were: The Paradise Ballroom, Go's 1, Go's 2, The Other Si, The Gas Statn to name a few, where lots of dancers uld be seen dog the style that will be lled later Waackg or Punkg. Outsi of the locker Tony Basil, there were a few straight people gog to gay clubs and lerally s and watch them do the dance and while they were dog that enabled them to perfecnate the dance themselv. The Waackg scene was unrground and nothg me out mostly bee people would be labelled as 'gay'.

Tyrone believ That when the Gay Communy abandoned Waackg the late 70's that same time people were beg troduce to a dance lled Lockg and some of the people who had been teachg Lockg were also teachg Punkg at the same time. The Lockers were all straight guys but they had rpect for gay people. It was origated the 70s and 80s, at the Hoe of Extravaganza or the Hoe of LaBeija, when the gay men felt ee and started feelg themselv and started exprsg through dance performance.

It was origated the 1970s the gay clubs of California.

Ins such as Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, and Marilyn Monroe were spiratns for the gay men’s back then; they ed to py the dance mov and pose like them wh the mic playg the background.
