We are thrilled to extend complimentary tickets to our upcoming performance of Chrysolation. Please complete this no later than Tuesday, April 14.

Chrysolation, performed by Chrybaby Cozy and the renowned Bomb Squad, brings the origins & evolution of this vibrant NYC street dance tradition to the stage.

Chrysolation is an amalgamation of a 35-year-old developed freestyle approach. The root of this approach is hip-hop by way of Litefeet/Gettin Lite, implementing the utilization of New Jack Swing, Vernacular Jazz, Lindy Hop, House, and Top Rock (Breaking).
