Description:
The Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech presents a Dance Performance with FLEX AVE. on Saturday, February 15, 2020.

Featuring group choreography and solo improvisational works set to a continuous mix of reggae, hip-hop, and pop music, FLEX AVE. brings 10 dancers and a DJ. All hailing from Brooklyn, New York, this group represents the best of the high-energy Flexn dance culture.

Characterized by a vocabulary all its own—”pauzin,” “get-low,” “bone-breaking”—Flexn developed from various Jamaican street dance styles into a distinct art form that’s spread across the globe and has been embraced by the pop mainstream. For example, Beyoncé’s recent Coachella performance featured several FLEXN alums.

Following breakthrough performances at New York’s Park Avenue Armory, Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival, Manchester International Festival, and an upcoming residency for the inaugural season of The Shed in New York City, FLEX AVE. is the brand new creation of Flexn dance pioneer Reggie “Regg Roc” Gray.

At the heart of FLEX AVE. are narratives of perseverance and struggle—over violence, mental illness, loss of family. The mission of the company is to show that creative expression can be used as a tool for social change and inspire us to overcome any adversity.
