Hosted in partnership with The Dance Complex, A Trike Called Funk’s “Juxtaposed Flows” is a mini-series of events designed to bring together members of the local street / club dance scene with those from the internationally rooted heritage dance scene to learn from & exchange with one another in a fun & interactive format. Each event will feature a different combination of instructors specializing in local and international dance forms as well as DJs specializing in the corresponding music genres.
Participants will have a chance to learn some steps from the featured dance forms at the beginning and to party together toward the end. In between, there will be a dance battle in which competitors will be challenged to incorporate the steps they learn into their freestyle rounds with the winner taking home all of the proceeds from ticket sales. So, come through to learn & see something new and to catch a groove, too, before it’s all through. The more who come, the more fun & the more funds to be won!
The February edition will feature guest artists Kit Tempest of Boston Bhangra and Waacking extraordinaire Yyoyo Devi Green Escada. Woot-woot!
This event is part of the new "Friday Night Lights" series, which highlights a dance lesson followed by a community gathering. All Friday Night Lights events take place in Studio 7 on the ground floor.
A bout A Trike Called Funk:
A Trike Called Funk is a Boston-based creative venture co-founded in July 2021 by MC & Dance Lead Aaron Myers and DJ Edward Galan, whose community-based activations feature music genres & dance forms from Funk to Hip Hop across the African diaspora in the Americas. Together with other local artists specializing in complementary types of music and dance as well as visual arts like graffiti, we orchestrate participatory arts experiences around our one-of-a-kind front-loading cargo tricycle, which is equipped with its own portable dance floor, power source, DJ equipment, and sound system, as well as a free-standing frame for visual arts activities. A Trike Called Funk's overarching mission is to unleash creativity, foster connectivity, and build community everywhere we pedal and park.
