Description 'It’s a thriving Saturday night, the dancers are out, the music is groovy and Mama Doll’s Waacking extravaganza is about to start…Travel with us to the fantastical world of the 1970s queer phenomenon, waacking, and enter Club Waack – a love letter to this street dance style pioneered by the Black and Spanish gay community in Los Angeles, told through a distinctly New Zealand queer lens.'
