Dance Performance | Discover a Queer Danceform with a Preview of The NutWAACKer


Dance tradition bearer Princess Lockerooo, dubbed the “Queen of Waacking” by The New York Times, previews The NutWAACKer, commissioned by Works & Process for premiere at the Guggenheim. A champion of waacking—a queer dance form created in LA night clubs and nearly lost during the AIDS crisis—Princess Lockerooo reimagines a holiday classic, fusing Tchaikovsky’s score with NYC’s underground dance culture. A tribute to queer brilliance and street culture, this kinetic journey explores identity, defiance, and holiday magic through the city’s electrifying movement legacies.
