Hello Jesse, it's an honour to have you here and see you contribute! Please feel warmly welcomed. I also have a litlle request. I was working on the article on Jacking. Being born in 1979 in Germany, I had to rely solely on literature, as I never saw the original dance happen. You did though! So, would you please like to take a look at the article and check if it describes the style (and its background) correctly? The problems for me begin with the style itself and how it looked. An early version of the article states there were arms involved, but it doesn't mention the rippling motion:

There's also in interesting version regarding the "contagiousness" of the phenomon:

To make things easier, a video might help. I found a few dancing tutorials on YouTube (see here), but none really convinced me to be authentic, especially since they differ. Could you please take a look at Youtube or any other source and send me a hyperlink to one or two of the most authentic depictions of the style? It can also be an early music video clip or a recording of an actual Chicago club night—if this exists.

Last but not least, where did the name derive from?

I hope you can find the time to answer, and thank you very much in advance! You can answer directly on this page, as I'll watch it. Greetings to Chicago! WilhelmSchneider (talk) 11:40, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
