Dante's Bullwhips

The wild fires which devastated Los Angeles ended prospects for an exciting weekend of whip cracking in its eighth year.

Celebrating the artistry and charisma that have defined their legendary careers, Hollywood icons Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer were officially inducted into the prestigious Bullwhip Hall of Fame.

Minneapolis whip crackers get together five Sundays this summer at Walker Art Center 's Open Field Project. Free and open to the public, each 2-hour session is led by pro bullwhip artist Robert Dante, 3-time Guinness World Record holder and author.

The Society of American Whip Artistry (SAWA) has adopted "Let's Get Cracking! The How-To Book of Bullwhip Skills" by Robert Dante as its “Official Instructional Text."
