Leyti

Artist Name: Leyti (28 age)

 

Jazz dancing was something I practiced for 12 years long. I began practicing different dance styles with street-dancers at the age of 15 and took part in my first dance battle "Love is the Message" first edition in Luxembourg. I continued to participate in multiple dance battles in Luxembourg and around the Luxembourgish Borders. For the past 10 years, I have been a participant in multiple national and international dance workshops and am currently continuing to attend them.

 

Workshops I attended of different dance styles:

Hip-hop (new style, commercial, Old School), Freestyle, Experimental, House, Popping, Heels, Ballet & Waacking

 

Although I enjoy the diversity, I've begun to concentrate more on Waacking Dance because I felt more captivated by the Waacking community.

 

Between 2020 and the end of 2023, I took a significant break because of COVID-19 and a car collision that fractured my spine. Through this experience, I have come to the realization that dancing is essential for my mental and physical well-being.

 

In January 2024, I returned fully to dancing after rehabilitating with the help of amazing people and a lot of patience and hard work. I started being a student again to challenge myself in Corinnes Confidance Heels Classes. Additionally, I rediscovered my love and passion for Waacking dance and began practicing again. I want to share my experiences and give strength to people who want to connect with dance and motivate them to grow in both dance and themselves. Being a positive asset to dancers is my goal. I'm excited to demonstrate the value of dance as a personal therapy for any adversity you may be going through.

 

Why Waacking?

I was introduced to the Waacking and Voguing community by a close friend in 2017. The Waacking community caught my attention quickly. The diversity that every waacking dancer brings in and all the emotions that are expressed while dancing waacking amazes me. Finally, I began to discover my dancer's identity and felt completely at ease while blending the fundamentals of other dance styles with waacking.

 

Besides the disco music that creates a positive mood , the people who are welcoming you in the Waacking Community with open arms and the Outfits that every waacker creats. What I enjoy the most is the shared passion and the support between waacking dancers around the world. The Whole Concept of Waacking made me deeply fall in love with it.

 

This is WHY I want to bring this energy, passion, love and support in Luxembourg, because I strongly believe that everyone should find their safe place to express their creative mind and their true self.
