How To Skank
by Bob Timm
From your Ska/Reggae Guide

You love the music, so you want to dance, right? Not sure how? Here are some classic skanking steps.

Here's How:

  1. Get your spine nice and loose.
  2. Bend your knees and loosen your arms.
  3. Bend your elbows and make some tight fists.
  4. Feel the music and let it swing your arms with elbows bent.
  5. Bend forward and feel your knees bounce with the upbeats.
  6. Move your weight from one leg to the other with the downbeats.
  7. Get in the groove and rock stead-easy, steady rock easy.
  8. Stop smiling. Your in heaven inside but outside you're looking tough.
  9. Stare blankly in to the far corner of the room.
  10. Ignore the ignoramuses around you who just don't get it.

Tips:

  1. Add shades and hat for extra rude effect.
  2. Watch out for random skinhead moshers.
