Waacking instructor, Alice Hur
Waacking Dance Workshop for Teens

*Grades 6 to 12*

*Saturday, June 20*

* 1** to 2:30 p.m.*

*Library Program Room*

 

"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.

 

Registration is not required; register to receive an email reminder.
