FLEXN D.R.E.A.M. Ring Benefit
May 21, 2017
Wade Thompson Drill Hall
Join us for a special celebration of FLEXN, Reggie (Regg Roc) Gray, and the D.R.E.A.M. Ring’s own evolution from one-on-one, community-based dance combatants to an international touring troupe of acclaimed dance activists.
Following the 3:00pm matinee, there will be a D.R.E.A.M. Ringmaster event where two-man and tag-team performances are showcased, followed by a party with the company where demonstrations by the OGs (Original Generation) of flex will trace the growth of the movement from its roots in the Jamaican bruk-up style popular in dance halls and reggae clubs of Brooklyn in the 1990s, to its performances now. The party will also serve as a celebratory send-off to D.R.E.A.M. Ring as they embark on their third international tour, produced by Park Avenue Armory.
