Flex dance (or FlexN) performances, tournaments, and competitions happen in various venues worldwide, but this intense style of contortion freestyle dancing is also done in other mainstream settings and can be found in a studio, fitness center, and DJ dance club setting, as well.
Beginning as street dance for people to express themselves when they otherwise felt they didn’t have a voice, it’s now a unique genre performed by men, women, and children alike, and may be in a setting where dance battles take place, or, in a facility where it’s practiced as part of a fitness routine. It has also been featured in music video performances and concerts.
The best flooring for flexing will be a product that doesn’t shift or move once installed and allows for free, expressive movements with just the right amount of shift control and give. By design, flex dancers may go from a staggering contortion to a graceful glide in a beat of music, and the flooring must promote that - not hinder it.

Christine Fink of Christine’s Dance Company in Rice Lake, Wisconsin utilizes the Adagio Touring floor for traveling performances, like recitals and showcases.
