Boy Blue's Cycles
Dancing that captivates”
★★★★★ The Guardian
Winners of the 2024 Sky Arts Award for Dance, Boy Blue are the UK’s most celebrated hip-hop dance theatre company. Since the company was founded in east London, 2001, by composer Michael ‘Mikey J’ Asante MBE and choreographer Kenrick ‘H2O’ Sandy MBE, they have been a radical force, breaking boundaries and creating “choreographic gold” (The Guardian).
Cycles is movement at its most fluid, distilled and skilled. Resolute and unapologetic, Boy Blue’s latest production is a tenacious exploration of hip-hop dance in all its forms. Cycles was nominated for the 2024 Black British Theatre Awards.
A triumphant celebration of the shared pleasures of dance”
★★★★★ The Independent
Experience the connection between the movement on stage and the rhythm, groove and bounce of the music, as nine powerful dancers fill the space in what feels like unending motion.
Terrific new piece from Hip-Hop Company Boy Blue is a love letter to the euphoria you experience when you completely surrender to music”
