:: BREAK! The Urban Funk Spectacular ::

BREAK! The Urban Funk Spectacular is cutting-edge dance for the 21st century. With roots in the streets of the inner city, the cast's unorthodox footwork, spinning, and urban gymnastics are inspired by African dance and the world of 1970s break dancing, locking and popping, "electric boogaloo," and power tumbling. It's a high-energy performance filled with acrobatics, robotics, and the funky moves and grooves of a master DJ and show-stopping percussionist.
