- Get that stiffness out of your spine, hang forward (but not too far) and get those arms and knees loose
Step Two: Bend Your Knees And Elbows
- Bend your elbows and clench your fists if you want to get that real rude attitude. Try to look more like you're getting ready to go sprinting rather than skiing.
Step Three: Claim Your Space
- Get those feet shoulder length apart, move one foot slightly forward, and take up as much of the dance floor as you can while you start your arms cranking back and forth. It might help if you pretend to be shaking some maracas.
Step Four: Start Moving
- Feel the beat. Get those arms slightly and feel the bounce as you swing your hips. Move your weight from one foot to the other with each skank. Make sure you coordinate your arms and legs. If your left is moving forward, you should also be moving your right knee forward as you shift your weight. Then shift to the left.
Step Five: Skank To The Beat
- Now start to vibe to some classic ska sounds. If you really want to show off raise your knees high in the air and turn around in a circle every once in a while. Also, you should be bouncing with the upbeats and cranking those elbows. For added style, get a real cool expression and stare somewhere in the upper corner of the room. Preferably with shades.
Step Six: Get Your Ass Kicked
Now you've got the basic skank. Of course, the form is completely open to different variations and personal styles.
