U of w Student Training & Certification Program

---

          The mission of the University of W💜ACKING is to preserve, teach, document, and advance the cultural, historical, technical, and performance foundations of Punking, Posing, Whacking, Waacking.

           Through structured training, the 10 Elements of Waacking System, the A.U.S Method, mentorship, certification, research, and performance opportunities, we prepare students to become knowledgeable dancers, confident performers, responsible teachers, creative leaders, and guardians of the culture.

              The University is committed to honoring the pioneers and innovators who created and developed the art form while giving each student the tools to discover their own voice. Our teaching joins freedom of expression with structure, helping students understand not only what they are dancing, but also why, where it came from, and how to carry it forward responsibly.

              We build an inclusive international learning community grounded in history, lineage, musicality, character, technique, cultural respect, artistic excellence, and lifelong education.

       The 10 Elements of W💜ACKING is a comprehensive 500+ page educational work created by Legendary King Aus too preserve, organize, and advance the foundations of Punking, Posing, Whacking, Waacking, and W💜ACKING for current and future generations.

        Developed through more than two decades of professional performance, teaching, mentorship, research, cultural study, and international experience, the book brings generations of movement knowledge into a structured training system for dancers, educators, choreographers, and cultural practitioners. It connects historical understanding with practical application, giving readers tools to develop musicality, groove, character, posing, whacking technique, footwork, floor work, turns, jumps, transitions, freestyle, and performance.

        At the center of the book is the 10 Elements of W💜ACKING System, alongside the A.U.S Method — Art Unifies Soul. Together, these systems provide structure without removing individuality. The goal is not to create dancers who simply imitate shapes or repeat combinations, but artists who understand why they move, how they interpret music, what they are communicating, and where the movement comes from.

         The book explores the relationship between the Los Angeles roots of Punking and Posing, the development of Whacking/Waacking, and the different branches, methods, interpretations, and performance traditions that emerged as the dance traveled across generations and around the world. It presents history not as a single simplified story, but as a living cultural conversation shaped by pioneers, teachers, performers, communities, and different points of view.

          Readers are guided through movement vocabulary, musical interpretation, character development, emotional intention, freestyle composition, battle strategy, stage performance, teaching methodology, cultural responsibility, and lineage. The book also examines how a dancer can develop a personal voice while still respecting the history, technique, and cultural foundations of the form.

        Ultimately, this work is about more than learning movements. It is about developing knowledgeable artists who can understand the past, strengthen the present, and carry the culture forward with responsibility, creativity, integrity, confidence, and power.
