I was thinking that it would be nice to put a video cause seeing what it looks like would help to understand. There's this one on You-tube: [1] I can't say that I'm into ska alot (but I try to learn more about this good music) but I can say that on this video it's skanking. I dunno how putting videos on wikipedia there's too much conditions, categories (faire use and etc) and rules and I don't want to "waste my time" reading them (I'm spanish and my english isn't good enough to read it fast and it would be very boring so... If could read a résumé yeah but THIS...no!) And if someone has a better video or think this one is sh**...maybe you can help. Instead or in addition of it, we can put a photography too...I suppose that some videoclips of ska bands features good skanking too. I saw some Madness (they're a f***ing great band) concerts videos and there's skanking but images are too dark. So if someone can help it would be cool!
It's the best example of skanking I've seen online--despite their being in a hotel (?) lobby and wearing fuzzy slippers! I'm going to go ahead and put a external link to it in. --TK
Skanking going on here, or just speak to julie about it -unsigned
I don't know if we're this desperate yet but I can take some pictures of my self doing some of the different kinds of skanks. If we could clarify exactly what kind of dance we need to demonstrate (I assume the thirdwave variation) I can put together either a frame by frame animation or just a picture giving the general gist of it. Anyone got any input? Glassbreaker5791 23:22, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
i realize there's a need for sources, but for underground street dancing, sources just don't tend to be readily available. the best source is video, and yet some wikipedians make it their personal crusade to remove youtube links which give examples of the dance. this needs to change. -- 24.214.236.85 15:16, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
since there are a myriad of ways to skank, itd be nice to either have a more general description of the dance or to offer multiple common versions. thus far the article offers the very common thirdwave skank but does not exactly describe any of its predecessors. most definitions i've seen for the word have often included the phrase "a palms-up dance". it should also be noted that two stepping is indeed a very different dance and not merely another word for skanking.

Would it make any sense to try to find a legal picture of walt jabsco skanking? It's not exactly representative of the dance as a whole but its a pretty common picture associated with dance and its better than nothing. Glassbreaker5791 20:58, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
I recall reading the phrase "the skank" somewhere, as in "doing the skank". Does anyone know if people actually said/say that, as opposed to "skanking"?
Also, why is "striking out" in italics? 71.90.131.109 ( talk) 05:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
i've never heard of it as a dance - i know it as pulling someone's trousers down unexpectedly. Machete97 ( talk) 14:45, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
On a recent sentimental tour of YouTube I looked up a video of Johnny Nash singing "Hold Me Tight" from 1968, which I had never seen performed at the time and hadn't heard since. Someone commented on the odd dancing of the three girls in the background, to which someone else replied (with some exasperation at the misunderstanding) that they were "skanking". If this is correct, then it is a good example and worth looking at, and very entertaining either way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Intererested Party ( talk • contribs) 10:57, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
How about the logo of the band D.R.I.? Hanz ofbyotch ( talk) 23:56, 16 December 2008 (UTC) what about it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.255.58.85 ( talk) 01:39, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
Wiktionary has a definition of moonstomp as a type of ska dance. Wikipedia re-directs moonstomp to this article but it is not mentioned. Ralph Corderoy ( talk) 18:20, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
