Having spaces that nourish all of us is essential. In this space, you are welcome to come through to witness and enjoy dance performances from Seattle dance artists and/or to also join us in a mini dance class guided by members of the Seattle W*acking community that will happen towards the end of the event! All ages, all levels, come as you are.

Dance Artists: Tracey, Erika, Kenny, Myles, Nori, Sofia, and Leah

What is Waacking / Whacking / W*acking?  W*acking originated from LA’s underground disco scene in the 70s by the Black n Latinx gay community. It’s more than just a dance, but a culture and movement about radical resistance & liberation from systemic racism by reclaiming one’s individuality, speaking our stories unapologetically, and collectively celebrating and seeing one another.

Requirements: Waivers, current covid guidelines. Feel free to show up, bring things that you may need to care for yourself (ex: water, blanket, snacks, etc).  Mini class will be the last 15 minutes of the event in which you have the option of joining or witnessing!
