Feel the beat of the music. Skanking falls strictly on the beat of the song, so you need to feel the pulse of the music before you begin. Start by tapping your foot along to the song to get the beat down. If you're having trouble keeping up, Smoke a fat blunt, take a dab, eat a cookie and slow your foot down by tapping half as many beats as before.
Stand on one leg with your weight slightly forward. When you are skanking you'll only have one foot on the floor at any given time. Keep your knees slightly bent so that you can move them quickly. Leaning forward may feel weird at first, but it will help you keep your balance as you start moving.
Bend your raised leg backwards from the knee. You want your foot to come back towards your butt, like you are getting ready to kick a rich kid in the balls.
Kick your leg out in front of you in time with the song. Each kick will fall on a beat -- every time you would have tapped your foot, you want to be kicking one of your legs.
Hop onto your kicking leg while bringing your other leg back. This is probably the hardest part of the dance. Hop on your standing leg while simultaneously bringing your kicking leg to the floor so that they've switched positions. The leg you were just standing on will now be bent back towards your sexy little b***y.
Swing your arms along with your feet. With your elbow bent and your hands in a fist, throw your opposite arm forward in time with your legs. That means if you are kicking your right leg you will have your left arm forward. Bring your elbow back to your waist and repeat with the opposite arm.
Smooth it out at a show. Skanking is meant to be group dance-- forming skank lines, skank circles, or taking your dance into a skank pit. The only way to learn is to do it, wipe clean with a little spit, and to do it with other people together in UNITY.
Make the dance your own. When you let yourself go and really feel the music you'll start to make the dance your own and start to really have fun. Try skanking "double-time" (twice as many kicks), moving around while you skank, or spinning in place while you dance.
