Pacific Rim Video covers the Waackfest Q&A held at IDA Hollywood this past Friday, October 28, 2011.

Celeste Arevalo talks to founder Kumari Suraj about the festival along with participants.

Back by popular demand, The Waackers bring to Los Angeles the Second Annual Waack Fest, devoted to preserving, spreading and celebrating the dance styles known as "Waacking, Whacking, Punking." The festival, drawing an international crowd, spans over five days and includes workshops, Q&A panels, parties, battles, costume contests and a full slate of master classes taught by the style's pioneers and modern day Waacking prodigies. The festival is a must-attend event for both beginner and advanced enthusiasts, fusing Waacking history, technique and education together seamlessly for a weekend of growth and celebration.
