Whacking Dance Battle 45 images Created 16 Aug 2021
In the summer of 2021, TIA was hired by the Friends of Waterfront Seattle organization to photograph a Whacking (or Waacking) Dance Battle at Pier 62!
This expressive and exhilarating battle of dance moves was an event to augment Seattle's long-term revitalization efforts in the downtown district as well as the waterfront's concurrent redevelopment.
Pier 62 is one of the latest attractions of the waterfront to be renovated, reopening to the public in 2020 after nearly four years of reconstruction.
