Waacking Musicality Workshops
🎧 UNDERSTANDING THE MUSIC
A 2-Day Musicality Intensive
Have you ever spent an entire day breaking down just one song?
This is where that happens.
In this 2-day intensive, you’ll go from simply listening to music… to truly hearing it.
We dive deep into:
Instrumentation and musical layers
Percussion patterns and rhythmic textures
Identifying subtle sounds you didn’t even know were there
Because the more you hear… the more choice you have.
And the more choice you have, the more dynamic, musical, and intentional your dancing becomes.
This workshop is for all dancers — not just Waackers — who want to elevate their musical awareness and performance.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re just “going with the beat”… this is where you learn to play with it.
Battle Bootcamp
🔥 BATTLE BOOT CAMP
Train Like a Competitor. Think Like a Judge.
It’s time to prepare for battle.
How you train for a battle is deeply personal — but in this intensive, Princess Lockerooo shares the tools, strategies, and mindset that separate good dancers from unforgettable competitors.
Drawing from experience judging battles across the globe, you’ll learn:
How to stand out from a judge’s perspective
How to handle ANY music — even when you hate it or don’t know it
What to do when your opponent is next level
How to command the crowd and control the energy
Techniques to manage nerves, pressure, and stage fright
We’ll also break down:
Performance dynamics — drama, power, musicality, and presence
Finding your originality (because nobody remembers a copy)
Real battle training — how to practice for the moment
And of course…
Props & Presentation Day
Because what you wear and carry speaks before you even move.
Learn how to use props with confidence — or when to leave them at home.
This is where you build the confidence, strategy, and presence to walk into any battle ready.
