The American dancer, director, and choreographer Reggie ‘Regg Roc’ Gray was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. He is one of the innovators of a new hybrid dance form, Flexn: a combination of various styles such as bone breaking, get-low, connecting, hat tricks, and pauzing, the style he evolutionized. He produced his first major choreography at the Park Avenue Armory with FLEXN (2015) and FLEXN EVOLUTION (2017) and has toured both productions around the world. In July 2019, he premiered his most recent work Maze at The Shed; it was performed in an architectural maze of light and explored the puzzles and poetry of human coexistence. Recently, he created a new production, Flex Ave, that has toured nationally since January 2020. Known for his choreographic works rooted in social justice themes, Gray will continue to inspire the world through the expression of Flexn and his dance company, The D.R.E.A.M. Ring Inc. (Dance Rules Everything Around Me).

Rafael ‘Droid’ Burgos, or King Droid, is a born-and-bred Brooklyn native. At only 24 years old he has been flexn since 2010. Before he was serious about dance he was serious about artwork animation, singing, and performing arts. The arts shaped who he is today, and he incorporates his passion for the arts in his dancing to this day. His style is very animated and technical and has been described as “mechanical,” hence his name, DROID. Droid creates objects that he brings to life using four Flexn styles. He is a master of gliding, connecting, get-low, and pauzing. He wishes to one day be a director of his own productions using street dance art forms.
