Reine Claude knows the recipe for the best jams: a generous dose of sugary disco, highlighted by the smoothness of R&B and the sharpness of house, all topped with a hint of French boogie. Delicious spreads served at any hour of the day or night, for the greatest pleasure of dancers. Co-founder of the collective What a Whack!, which brings together waacking dancers, MCs, and DJs through the “WAW!” parties in Lyon, Reine Claude aims to put joy, sharing, and freedom back at the heart of our relationship to the club. The goal is simple: bring the dancefloor back to its essence by allowing everyone to express themselves and connect with others. Waacking: an emancipatory dance created by a group of queer men of color in Los Angeles in the 1970s.
