Waacking Workshop with Cypher Culture

Waacking Workshop with Cypher Culture

Waacking/Whacking is a dance style that originated in the 1970s in LA underground disco clubs amongst the Hispanic & African-American queer communities. It is a dance style that is heavily influenced by the characters from Hollywood movies, cartoons and black-and-white films. Being a performative dance style, it highlights musicality, particularly in disco music, where the dancers use their arms and bodies to create movements to ‘show’ you the layers in the music. In 50+ years, the dance style has transformed and evolved into how it is today and the various possibilities of what it can be in the future.

This workshop is open to dancers of all levels! Come join the cool club by registering for this workshop.
