(Video interview footage from 2010)
***Disclaimer: "New Jack Swing" is a style of music. Not dance. I didn't say the exact words I wanted at the time. The rest is in the description.***
Frankie Douglas has always had dreams of being a Fly Girl. This is a concept and Waacking style I have been working on since early 2009. It's not the "only" way to Waack. It's a fun way for me to flex my imagination.
Frankie Douglas mixes current and older Hip Hop/Urban groovement, Dancehall vibes & House with Waacking arms. My intention was to bring more body movement to my Waacking instead of just the amazing "Fists of Fury". Which I love. However, for my body, I wanted to feel more mobile and free. To put it plainly I got bored. This video is my intro to the style. :)

Kumari's Waacking Choreography class is created for students to "think outside the box". Traditionally Waacking is danced to Disco and Funk. In this class students learn to maneuver Waacking technique through House, HipHop, R&B, Pop, Electronic, 80's Funk, Disco and World Grooves.

I really love and can connect with this style, Kumari. As an 80s baby, I feel like my soul is closely connected with New Jack Swing and I love seeing your Frankie Douglas pieces! Had a great time at your class when I was there for Waackfest :)
