    Pangina Heels is back at the Student Recreation Center for an epic Waacking Workshop!

    Discover the art of Waacking—a street dance style born from the punking scene in '70s LA. This expressive dance form, set to disco and post-disco beats, is all about rotational arm movements, killer poses, and pure emotion.

    Join us for this exclusive workshop led by Pangina herself! It's your chance to dive deep into Waacking with one-on-one guidance from a true master. Free and open to all—no previous dance experience or skills required, join us for this fun and unique experience!
