Waacking dance classes in downtown Halifax
A 1970s disco-era style characterized by its rotational arm movements, posing, and 2SLGBTQIA+ influence.
Waacking (also known as whacking or wacking) was created in the 2SLGBTQ+ clubs of Los Angeles during the 1970s disco era. Originally danced to disco, and today to just about anything, it is known for rotational arm movements, striking poses, and unapologetic expressiveness.
In class you will learn the history and foundations of waacking, with a focus on drills, character, musicality, and freely exploring movement. Come ready to perform, pose, and let go.
Must be 18+ (or 14+ with parental consent) to attend. Please ensure your date of birth is updated on your profile to sign up.
