Language & teacher(s) English

Waacking is all about self-expression, freedom, emotional connection and idiosyncratic performance.

As a dance and culture, it emerged in the 1970s in the club scene of the LGBTQ+ community. Waacking happened mostly to funk and disco music, in the clubs that were a safe space for all socially oppressed groups to express themselves freely. Waacking is inspired by Old Hollywood: as a dancer, you are a unique story and you bring your own legend to life while moving.

During this workshop you will be introduced to the world of storytelling and performance through improvisation. Your creativity will be constantly stimulated. The aim here is for everyone to express themselves freely and uninhibitedly with unique, original and spontaneous movements.

Practical

Wear shoes and clothes in which you can move easily and bring a bottle of water. This course is taught in English.

Level of experience

Level X: for everyone, regardless of previous dance or movement experience ! Both new participants and those who previously took the waacking try-out, can join this waacking series.
