Gather Round: Street and Club Dance Battles

Fabulous Waacking Festival Fall Edition with Princess Lockerooo

Distinguishable by its rotational arm movements, posing and emphasis on expressiveness, Waacking brings together the glitz and glamor of Hollywood films, the vibrant energy of disco, and the colorful underground gay club culture of the ‘70s. An event organized by Princess Lockerooo, who is lauded by The New York Times as the “Queen of Waack,” it will feature high-energy performances, dazzling costumes, and theatrical choreography honoring the roots and influences of Waacking. Top Waackers will go head-to-head in an epic showdown. Visitors are invited to dress to impress and join in the dancing at the end – after the show and battle, there will be an opportunity to get their disco fix, twirl, and let loose.

Works & Process comes to Manhattan West for Gather Round: Street and Club Dance Battles. Performances take place on Wednesdays in September from 4:30-7pm and are free to attend.

On the heels of break dancing’s debut at the 2024 Olympics, Works & Process brings its captivating dance and music series originally commissioned and performed in the Guggenheim Museum’s rotunda to the Manhattan West Plaza event circle. See top street and club dancers battle for glory and prizes!
