Waking. The Origin of Dance
Every dance is a story, fun or sad, fascinating and always unusual. Waking was no exception. What is it, you will not understand until you feel its history. So, waking (in the translation from the English - "waving his hands") was born around the beginning of the seventies in the fashionable gay clubs of the West coast of sunny Los Angeles. Characteristic of this dance movements were the result of the imitation of men's theatrical postures of actress Greta Garbo. Therefore, originally the wakings had the name "The Garbo". Then the gays began to draw their inspiration from the very famous at that time American television program "Soul Train". The dance began to acquire the outlines of locks, jazz-fusion and hip-hop, until later merged with the New York style "Voging". The only difference was that for the original American dance was characterized by emissions and jumps, but for the Los Angeles opponent were characterized by clear, sharply outlined movements of the hands. Also, the waking borrowed from voging special mannerisms and inherent style - a la "model on the podium."
