Freak Dance: The Forbidden Dirty Boogaloo

"When pop comes to lock,

When you're breakin' on the make,

Sometimes you got to take a chance and dance." - Honey Hooves Jones

More sex than Flashdance. More drama than Footloose. More danger than The Lambada. More dance fighting than You Got Served. More pretentiousness than Save the Last Dance...

Welcome to the streets where dancing is the dream of every street kid. Freak Dance is the story of how dancers from different worlds come together to save

Fantaseez Dance Center from the long arm of the city building inspector, the evil rival dance studio, and power of the Forbidden Dirty Boogaloo.

Freak Dance is a straight up, activated and in your face musical theater extravaganza.
