Synopsis

Come party with friends, meet the artists and dance to a night of good music and vibes as DJs spin the genres you love at the official (and FREE*) FL/OW AFTER PARTY!

 

On the decks, DJ Bolo and DJ Bobby Obby Obby will be bringing you their unique selection of tracks—think hip hop, funk, house and more. Catch your favourite Singapore street dancers in special mini showcases, such as hip hop battle champions FAKYU, stylish funky poppers Melise and Timo and the fabulous voguers from @houseofkasicvnt. Celebrate the vibrancy of our homegrown street dance community, and perhaps get a chance to groove along with the international stars of FL/OW such as House of Love (South Korea), ILL-Abilities (various countries), Spoken Movement (United Kingdom), The Royal Family (New Zealand) and The Ruggeds (Netherlands)!
