Definitions

1. A dance form characterized by sharp arm movements and musical expression that originated in the LGBTQ+ community
2. This style of street dance involves dynamic arm gestures, often embodying confidence and flair while responding to music
3. A form of expressive dance that emphasizes rapid, angular arm movements and reflects musicality, emerging from the cultural milieu of the LGBTQ community

Etymology: The name is thought to echo "whack," an English word for a sharp, forceful blow. The dance is built on abrupt, sweeping arm movements that snap out and back, which suits that sound. The spelling with a double "a" appears to be a deliberate variant, though the exact reason for it is uncertain.
