Skank (dance)

Skanking is a way of dancing to certain types of music, like ska or punk rock. It usually involves a lot of jumping up and down and side to side movements with your arms and legs.

Imagine you are a bouncy ball. You jump up and down a lot and move from side to side. But you add extra movements with your arms, swinging them back and forth or up and down. You can do all this while you listen to music that has a fast, upbeat rhythm. This is skanking!
