CLASS DESCRIPTION

The Essence Experience is a dynamic class format rooted in W*acking, designed to help you uncover and express your unique essence. Through intentional movement, the foundational elements of Waacking are awakened—offering students a full spectrum of motion to explore, embody, and align with the rhythm of music.

The class includes focused drills in solo/group exercises aimed at deepening self-connection, enhancing body and spatial awareness, and developing character. The ultimate goal? Freedom, authenticity, and liberation through dance.

This is a high-energy experience that thrives on honesty, presence, and self-determination.
Requirements: A deep love for music—and unapologetically being a Punk.
