Things that I like: Queer and intersectional feminism, mathematics, art, non-materalism, dance.

PHILOSOPHY
Honesty is the only thing we really have.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a dancing style called Waacking, Waacking is a style of dance that came up in the 70’s, coming directly from the ‘funk’ & ‘disco’ era. It was born in the club environments but through television shows like Soul Train, it became very popular. This dance was developed to imitate stars/actresses/divas in silent films by utilizing complex arm movements, lines & poses. Their movement would be very developed and their musicality would be pushed. Waacking is now starting to resurface and it’s popularity is starting to grow as never before. Since then, waacking has evolved not just in it’s musical & cultural origins but also it started to appear in more and more other dance styles like; Jazz, latin dancing, funkstyles, sexy hip hop and others. This dance allows you to create a persona that could really vary in nature. Doesn’t matter whether it be a sexy, feminine or aggressive, as long as you express yourself and let yourself go to the music as in ‘diva-like’ which should be done fiercely. YEEEES!!!!
