I am Genard Blair, flexing is my style. Flex is is a form of street dance from Brooklyn, New York that is characterized by rhythmic movement touching on eight main formats -- bonebreaking, waving, illusions/punchlines, hat dancing, connecting, pausing, gliding and bruk up. I have danced with several companies here in the United States and in Jamaica. Flex is my artistic outlet to reach higher platforms of interaction and expression.
