Chase the Dream
Fast, slick and wittily packaged, street dance champions and Britain's Got Talent finalists Flawless come to the Peacock Theatre this spring, as the final stop on their 2011 UK tour.
Since storming to fame as runners up in 2009's BGT, the ten-strong dance act has starred in the hit film StreetDance 3D and appeared in music videos with Madonna, Beyonce, Leona Lewis and Westlife.
Following a sold-out run of Chase the Dream at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and a stint at London's Southbank Centre over Christmas 2010, Flawless continue to entertain audiences across the UK with their energy, originality and striking unison. Featuring the outstanding street dance routines that made the group famous, Chase the Dream showcases the group's diverse range of dance skills both collectively and as individual performers.
Choreographer and lead member of Flawless Marlon Wallen, 26, formed the group in 2004. A self-taught dancer, Wallen was inspired by Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Michael Jackson and James Brown. The dancers work closely together to produce new choreography to make dance more accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
The other members of Flawless are: Anthony "A.D." Duncan, Nathan "Oddey" Kabongo, Paul "Breaker" Samuels, Allan "Boogie" Kabeja, Christian "Bounce" Alozie, Leroy "FX" Dos Santo, Simon "Shock" Smith, Paul "Steady" Steadman, and Nathan "Neo" Gordon.
Their accolades include being named Best Street Dance Group in 2005, Best Choreographed Group in 2006, International Dance Champions and World Dance Champions in 2006 and UK Street Dance Champions in 2008.
Chase the Dream will have a three week run from Tues 10 - 28 May 2011 at Peacock Theatre, London WC2. Tue - Sat at 7.30pm, Sat mats at 2.30pm, Sun at 4pm. Adm: £12 - £28. Info: 0844 412 4322 / www.sadlerswells.com
