Arts Centre Melbourne: Punk the beat! Let’s W_ack!
7 May @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm AEST

This series frames choreography from 8 teachers through a neurodiverse lens, transforming dance into a conceptual and social playground, dissolving boundaries between mind, body and community.
Punking is a Queer-born club dance defined by pose, attitude and musical domination. W_acking is the action – it’s the way you move with intention, power and presence.
In a world with constant mundane rhythms, Burn City W_ack wants you to punk the beat of life with imagination, for social change and to give yourself radical joy.
Who it’s for
Open to students 16 and over from our suburban dance studios, international students, and anyone curious about this dance and hungry to build their skills. These classes are great for classically trained dancers wanting to expand their skills and for street dancers seeking a new expression through music.
Workshops are capped at a limited number, ensuring teachers can provide specific feedback and tools in an intimate setting. This dance is about expressing yourself.
