| Introduction | Waacking, an evolution of the dance style "Posing," derives from the 70s disco movement of the underground gay club scene in Los Angeles. The first Waacking crews to emerge from the 70s era were the Outrageous Waack Dancers and Dance Machine. The Waackers, now leading the new school movement, is the first official Waacking crew to emerge out of the Waacking resurgence of 2003-present day. The Waackers is a group of talented individuals who believe in the positive preservation, promotion and evolution of the Waacking dance culture. Founded in December 2008 by Kumari Suraj (Frankie Douglas), members of the Waackers have dedicated their time and energy to learning the true history, movement foundation, musicality and lifestyle of Waacking. Kumari cultivated a group of dancers from a wide range of dance backgrounds -- The Waackers includes bboys, poppers, lockers, house, jazz, hip hop, salsa, classical Indian and ballet dancers that have all come together to embrace the art of Waacking. Each member's unique dance background is reflected in their style of Waacking. |
