Waacking Inferno

Waacking simply belongs at Pride! The Czech waacking community is growing, getting stronger and shining brighter than ever. This year we'll set Střelák dancing for the eighth time – and we can't wait!

Waacking was born in the queer clubs of 1970s Los Angeles as a celebration of freedom, individuality and self-expression. It's exactly this energy we're bringing back to Pride Village, where waacking will be the cherry on top of Thursday's programme. Expect party vibes, a mini workshop, a parade of iconic outfits, hot disco from DJ Jeffology, and dance euphoria that won't let you stand still.

Behind the event is Imperial House of Waacking Czech Chapter (I.H.O.W. Czech), the Czech branch of the international collective founded by waacking pioneer Tyrone Proctor. In 2018 they also founded House of Nora (HON), a dance family that to this day brings together all disco lovers, party groovers and fashion hunters regardless of identity, background or heel height.

Every waacker is a radiant original – serving authenticity, confidence, and unapologetic self-expression both on and off the dance floor. Come shine with us!

The unforgettable event is hosted by actress, dancer and presenter Eliška Soukupová.
