A fun, energetic dance space for teens ages 13–18 — open to the public every Friday and Saturday night in Cumberland, Maryland.

Whakamana is open to teens ages 13–18. To help every event run responsibly, each teen completes event check-in and has the required parent or guardian agreement on file before joining the dance floor. Clear conduct expectations, trained staff, and capacity controls help us create a positive, structured night for everyone.

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.

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

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.
