Skanking is a type of dance originating in Jamaica. It is common in performances of reggae and Ska (a form of Jamaican popular music that came before reggae). In order to skank, you first have to feel the beat of the music! Then tap your feet and start doing a “running man” motion with your legs. Some skank dances also involve adding a kick forward with every beat. a rhythmic dance to reggae music performed by bending forward and extending the hands while bending the knees.

Do you know ska, Jamaica’s first global sound, was born in the late 1950s and was heavily influenced by jazz and rhythm & blues? Ska took jazz’s horns, walking basslines, and improvisational energy, then fused them with Caribbean mento and the offbeat “skank” that gave it that unmistakable bounce.From ska came rocksteady, then reggae — carrying forward that same heartbeat across generations.

Jamaican Peter Griffin on Instagram: "Before reggae. Before dancehall. There was ska 🇯🇲 Ska was born in Jamaica in the late 1950s — fast, joyful, and full of movement. It mixed Caribbean rhythms with jazz and R&B, and it captured the feeling of a country stepping into a new era. This wasn’t just music. It was independence, optimism, and youth energy in sound.
