Dancehouse is on Wurundjeri Country. We offer our respects to the Wurundjeri woi-wurrung people — and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people — who continue to dance on Country, and have done, for thousands of generations. Always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

Keep the fire burnin’! Multiple generations and lineages of waacking converge from across Australia, Europe, and Korea gather to celebrate a decade of this Queer-born form in Australia.

The temperature is rising with four types of battles. Hang out with the community as DJs spin, everyone can jam and mingle with waackers from multiple generations repping crews and communities from across the country.

Open Performance Category

Waacking is more than dance; it’s a fervent declaration of unity and heritage. Burn City Waack celebrates this unity through the 4 v 4 Waacking Invitational connecting one mentor with three emerging performers across ACT, New South Wales and Victoria. Though decades have passed since its inception, the technique and cultural context of waacking are being preserved by this passionate community, keeping the disco flame alive across so-called Australia.
