The Waackers - The featured crew in Toni Braxton's new video "Make My Heart"!!!!


WATCH THE VIDEO!!!!!!


Claude Racine, Rosero McCoy's assistant (Choreographer), called Noel "Papi Ban Ban" Bajandas in regards to Rosero being interested in putting The Waackers in the video. The whole video concept was inspired by the underground dance scene.  That included Waacking, Voguing, Stepping, Trannies... all that good stuff. Rosero remembered The Waackers from the ABDC audition.  His assistant, Claude, directed him to our freestyle video. So.... Claude called Papi, Papi called Rosero who then told Papi he was to be one of Toni's main dancers in the video as well as having The Waackers do there thing and represent. Noel "Papi" told Rosero, that he would speak to the rest of the crew and see what they say, and of course you know what they said!! YES! Rosero asked The Waackers to come in for the audition so the director, Billie Woodruff, can see us. Papi went through the whole audition process with the guys and than it was The Waackers turn. "We turned it OUT! And all the director said to us was "You guys are gonna be a lot of fun to shoot". BAM!! In there like swimwear" - Noel "Papi Ban Ban" Bajandas

The choreographer, and director knew The Waackers were gonna add a funky element to the shoot, which its exactly what they wanted.
Toni Braxton LOVES The Waackers, and so did the rest of the video crew and dancers. We looked BEAT!!! 

The name of the video is called "Make My Heart" and it features, Noel "Papi Ban Ban" Bajandas, Raquel "Bambina" Cabrera, Q, Tiffany "Clementine", Junkisha, Duo, Miss CoCo, and Yoda Pop.  



Read about other experiences with Toni from The Waackers.....

Duo - (Micheal Terrell)
"My experience with toni was very good. She was very open and was willing to talk with anyone. I feel our artform was represented very well and we got a chance to show what we got. Thanks to Rosero for the oppertunity and look out for us this year and the future"

Miss Coco - (Celeste Zarpas)
"when papi told us that we had been personally asked for to be in Toni braxton's new video i was more than excited. we were asked to come in and freestye infront of the choreographer and of course we put on a show. we all came as our individual character but molded together to become the great, unique force known as The Waackers. being on set all day felt like just a day laughing, looking beat, and doing what we love as a crew as opposed to actual "work". the music came on, the lights came up and we did our thing. we looked beat, we gave face, we hit mean poses, and most importantly we had fun together while bringing our style of dance into the limelight. long live the waackers ♥"

Q- (Quinetta Willmington)

She's so beautiful and her body is BANGING!!! Im excited to see the finish product!! The Waackers were featured alot throughout the video...sooooo we'll see how it turns out!!! IM OUT LIKE EXITS ------"
