For this truly transatlantic collaboration, MIF Creative brought together a team of flex dancers from Brooklyn, New York with ten of the best street dancers from Greater Manchester. Directed by Reggie ‘Regg Roc’ Gray, one of flexing’s founding fathers, FlexN Manchester packed a powerful punch while also entertaining full houses at Old Granada Studios during the final week of MIF15. To accompany FlexN Manchester, MIF15 also staged Europe’s first ever D.R.E.A.M Ring, a dance battle format devised by Gray that saw dancers from Greater Manchester compete against each other for both prize and prestige.
