Back to the 70ies!
“I was not allowed to go out and dance except at school so the television became my teacher. We didn't have YouTube then and I wasn't allowed to travel so I had to catch what I could in that one hour Soul Train show every Saturday. I watched the show on the sneak! That's how I got hooked into Waacking. This was the dance I loved but nobody did it here. This was strictly a West Coast Dance from L.A.
I met Tyrone Proctor, a Soul Train Dancer in 1980 then, Shabba-Doo in 2001, then Ana Sanchez in 2007 and Toni Basil in 2009. This dance scene was a social gathering in the seventies and eighties. I continued with Waacking until today.
In this class we will emphasise on rhythm, organic musicality, emotional connectivity, self-awareness and being in the moment. Waacking has its roots in the nightclubs of the 1970ies. The club is a lifestyle not a pastime. Life is the Club.”
