Where Cumberland Teens Come to Dance

A safe, fun, and energetic dance club exclusively for teens ages 13–18. Every Friday & Saturday night in Cumberland, Maryland.

SAFE ENVIROMENT

Whakamana is a members-only club. Every person on that dance floor has been approved, registered, and has a parent or guardian who has signed our consent agreement. We know who is here — and that makes all the difference.

REAL FUN

From Hip-Hop Night to Cowboy Night to 80s Throwback — every Friday and Saturday is a different vibe. Themed nights, DJ sets, and a community of teens who actually know each other. This is not a random crowd. This is your crew.

REAL MUSIC

We play the music you actually listen to. Hip-hop, pop, throwbacks, country, rock — our DJs read the crowd and keep the energy high all night long. Members vote on themes. Your voice shapes the night.

Members get access to themed dance nights every Friday and Saturday. We rotate the theme weekly — check the schedule and come dressed for it. Best outfit of the night wins a free guest pass for a friend.

Hip Hop Night

The original Whakamana night. Freestyle, cyphers, and the hardest beats in Cumberland. This is where it all started.

80s & 90s THROWBACK

Neon everything. Big hair optional. We bring back the greatest decades in music and let the floor decide which era wins.

Line dancing, square dance basics, and country bangers. Boots and flannel encouraged. One of our most popular themed nights.
