This waacking workshop focuses on building strong foundations in groove, musicality, and expressive movement. We’ll go through essential techniques like arm patterns, posing, and transitions, while learning how to connect movements smoothly with the music. The class also emphasizes confidence and individuality in performance. By the end of the session, dancers will apply everything they’ve learned and finish with a choreography.

Class Description:
Waacking/Whacking, which originated from the style Punking, began in LA gay clubs during the 1970s where queer men of color found a place to fully express and be themselves. Drawing inspiration from visual art such as classic Hollywood films and cartoons, Waacking/Whacking is characterized by arm movements, posing, storytelling, musicality, and freedom of self-expression. In this class you will learn the foundations and techniques through drills, freestyle exercises, and choreography!
