(Video)Waacking

And by this I don't mean going up to strangers and giving them a clout round their head!
No, this is a dance style that I have fallen in love with. It was formed in the 1970's in the disco era in LA.

It combines fast arm movements with footwork and posing. It is a freestyle dance so it can be pretty much whatever you want it to be.
I have been taking classes in London for a while now and to start with I was a bit nervous as freestyle is not my forte. The thought of just making something up on the spot made me want to throw up but with time I feel that I have improved.

Classes are regular at Pineapple dance studios and Studio 68 to name a few.
One of the teachers who I have learnt so much from goes by the name of Lady Venus.

She is fierce but also a friendly warm hearted person. She asked me to dance in her class promotion video which I have included a snippet below. I definitely recommend these classes to challenge yourself but to ultimately try something new and have fun!
Oh I am the girl in the red checked top.Let me know what you think? Enjoy!
