At The Get Down, we get funky, we get loose, and most importantly, we get down! We are home to freestylers and street dancers alike with a focus on hip hop, funk, afro and Latin street styles. We live by the motto that dance is a tool to build relationships.
With this motto, our goal is to nurture the inner dancer and to provide a safe space where individuals can build and grow their artistic expression. Every style taught at our studio is one that owners, Ceech, Brian and Jeannette all love to dance.
Naturally, with this love for dance, we want to share our passion with everyone around us. Ultimately, we aim to make a positive impact in the community and to keep the social dance scene alive.
Whacking/Waacking incorporates arm movements, characterization, posing, and acting. This dance originated in the gay club scene of Los Angeles in the 1970s disco era. The origins come from the dance form of Punking which was done by gay kids who turned their oppression into expression.
Waacking is one of the fundamental styles of Hip-Hop. The style began in LA gay clubs in the 70's where Black, Latinx, and Asian gay men were able to fully express themselves in a time when they had to hide their gay identities.
