During the early 1970s when disco was the popular sound, a cultural movement had been born in the underground LGBT clubs of Los Angeles that was frequented by African American/Latinx patrons. It was a dance called ‘Waacking’—expressive, musical and unapologetic.
Waacking Inferno brings together Waackers and disco lovers from all over Australia and more to share a stage, exchange and showcase their creative talents through this art form. Judged by the internationally renown French dancer/choreographer, Princess Madoki (Beyonce, Louis & The Yakuza and more), we invite you to celebrate this culture with us—a movement that has helped so many individuals find their voice through queer culture, disco music and dance.
