Hakken aka Hakkuh

Being the only person in Malaysia to Hakke is kind of boring. Since nobody knows what Hakken is, i look as if like i am doing some sort of the old skool chicken dance or the scootish dance. But people in europe will know what it is. Besides jumpstyle or technotonik, there's Hakken aka hakkuh. Here I am promoting it to you... and hope you would Hakke instead of hardstyle when the BPM is above 170. I don't mind to see you Melbourne Shuffling but the question is.. can you shuffle with 170bpm?


Direct plucked from Wikipedia - Hakken (sometimes Hakkûh) is a form of dancing originating from the Dutch Hardcore and Gabber scene. The term is mostly associated with the Gabber subculture, and originally coined by DJ Darkraver from The Hague. In Australia, the dance it is mainly referred to as gabber(noun) or gabbering(verb), named after the music it is performed with it. The dance consists of small steps that quickly follow to each other to the rhythm of the bass drum. The lower body (down from the pelvis) is the most important part, though it is not unusual to move the arms and torso too.


The dance is mainly performed to Hardcore house and more specifically Gabber music. Because one is supposed to keep up to the beat of the song, the dance is usually done fairly quick, since the BPM of this music style can easily reach 260 BPM. It is not unusual for visitors of big Hardcore Parties to use drugs (such as ecstasy and to a lesser extent speed and cocaine) to be able to keep on going until the end of the party. Don’t do drug!
