Red Bull Music Academy kicked off it’s New York residency with Bounce Ballroom at Brooklyn Night Bazaar, the first of a series of musical collaborations and shows that are scheduled to take place daily across the city through the month of May.
Bounce Ballroom payed tribute to four dance styles native to New York and Jersey that have made a global impact. Nuit Blanche New York turned the flea market warehouse into a performance rave with four stages, each devoted to a different style of dance as conducted by a DJ who represented the scene; bruk up/flexing via Bobby Konders, voguing/ballroom with Mike Q, housing/waacking with Todd Terry, and Jersey Club by way of DJ Sliink. A spotlight illuminated each crew’s stage as it was their turn to entertain the crowd.
Check out pictures below, and a video above of the vogue set.
