Waacking is a street dance created by a multicultural group of gay men in underground clubs during the 1970s. Originally called “punking,” this art form was a means of freedom and play amidst a backdrop of extreme oppression against the queer community. The style is characterized by rapid arm rolls, striking motions, dramatic poses and storytelling elements.
In this beginner-friendly workshop taught by Alice Hur, learn the basics of waacking. Come in clothing suitable for movement.
This program is for adults and will take place in the Program Room. Registration is not required; register to receive an email reminder. Doors will close when the program is full.
