In this episode, we dive into the vibrant world of Waacking with dancer, battle performer, and community leader Myss Tru.
Born in the Canaries and based in London, Myss Tru shares how Waacking became more than a dance style — it became a transformative tool for self-expression, healing, and community building.
From the underground club scenes to international stages like Red Bull Dance Your Style and World of Dance, her journey is a testament to the power of movement as both personal and cultural language.
We unpack the rich history of Waacking (also known as Whacking), its distinctions from Voguing, and how club culture continues to shape identity, community, and resistance.
Myss Tru also reflects on the creation of Disconnection Jam, her work mentoring the next generation of dancers, and her academic research into the psychological impact of Waacking.
Whether you’re new to the scene or deeply immersed in dance culture, this episode offers a powerful reflection on creative leadership, resilience, and the beauty of moving through life unapologetically.
