H Γιάνκα ξεκινησε στην Ελλαδα απο την 'Ρεμβη'της Θεσσαλονικης με τους Φορμιγξ

Το 1964, η ελληνική νεολαία, ενθουσιάζεται από έναν

 καινούργιο χορό, την περίφημη Γιάνκα.

Ο χορός εμφανίζεται με το τραγούδι Jeronimo Yanka του συγκροτήματος Forminx,

 και γίνεται αστραπιαία μόδα σε όλη την Ελλάδα. 

Μικροί μεγάλοι χόρευαν τον σκοπό, που ήταν εύκολος και προκαλούσε γενική

 ευθυμία. 

Γρήγορα βγήκαν και λαϊκά δίστιχα, που δείχνουν την μεγάλη απήχηση, όπως το 

περίφημο:

Γιάνκα χορεύει και η Άννα Μαρία,
Γιάνκα χορεύει και ο βασιλεύς,
Γιάνκα χορεύει και η Αλεξία
μέσα στις φασκιές…

Γιάνκα χόρεψαν ακόμη και οι Λαμπράκηδες και έχουμε φωτογραφία του Μίκη

 Θεοδωράκη να χορεύει Γιάνκα, σε εκδήλωση που γίνεται στο Ξενοδοχείο Κινγκ

 Μίνως στα 1965.

Η σπάνια αυτή φωτογραφία δείχνει τον Μίκη Θεοδωράκη να χορεύει Γιάνκα σε χορό

 των Λαμπράκηδων, στο Ξενοδοχείο Κινγκ Μίνως στα 1965

Η Γιάνκα, στο εννοιολογικό πλαίσιο της εποχής, εμφανίζεται κατά τα χρόνια της 

κορύφωσης, του κινήματος της Νεολαίας Λαμπράκη.

Μετά την τεράστια επιτυχία του Jeronimo Yanka, πολλές παραλλαγές ακολούθησαν,

 όπως η Γιάνκα της Τζένης (Μίμης Πλέσσας), το Acropolis Yanka (Dragons), το

 Babies Yanka (Juniors) όπου συνδυαζόταν το «Δεν περνάς κυρά Μαρία»,Jenka

 beat ή το Special Yanka 65 (επίσης των Juniors).
