- Used to refer to a dance move. It is a cool dance move that's hard to do but it's not cool to go around saying, I'm jacking. So really, used in classes or learning the move.
jack(ing)
analogy; noun verb
A dance move usually done in the house or techno clubs that has the following steps: bend, lean back, stand up, lean back. Repeat. Harder than it looks and sounds.
Etymology : analogous to a "jack hammer" where the dancer moves up and down much like a jack hammer moves up and down. However, the dancer does not move literally like a jack hammer, just resembles the motion of moving up and down.
