The Red Bull Flying Bach 2016‐2017 USA tour has announced the dates for its full USA tour.

From the brilliant minds of Artistic Directors Vartan Bassil and Christoph Hagel, attendees will experience break dancing accompanied by an adaptation of Johann Sebastian Bach’s “The Well‐Tempered Clavier.” This unique combination of music and visuals demonstrates that the electrifying performance is a genius blend of high society and urban culture. Tickets to the nationwide phenomenon are expected to sell out quickly.

“The Red Bull Flying Bach national tour is an opportunity for The Flying Steps to demonstrate that our members are not just break dancers ‐ we are artists,” said Bassil. “The product of combining urban culture with classical inﬂuences is an incredible type of street art that we are excited to share with the USA.”

After the 2010 premiere in Berlin’s Neue Nationalgalerie and following the sold out German tour, Red Bull Flying Bach brought their success to the rest of the world. More than 400,000 spectators in 31 diﬀerent countries have experienced Swedish ballerina Anna Holmström and the Flying Steps in a spectacular performance that is equal parts urban culture, ballet, and theater.
