FLOOR ROCKERS JAM

♛ Presented by The Pro Breaking Tour & Sanctioned by UDEF♛

Pro Breaking Tour – UDEFtour.org

This event is called “Floor Rockers” because we need our community’s help to raise funds to replace The Beacon’s deteriorating floors. Having safe floors is one of the most important parts of a dance space and we need $25,000 to pay for a new dance floor. What better way to start fundraising than with a party?

LOCATION: The Beacon Studio, 664 S. King St., Seattle, WA 98104
COST: $10 (Free for children 11 years-old and younger)

Floor Rockers Jam will include:
3 vs 3 battle for a Top 8 spot at Massive Monkees Day Anniversary 2018 and cash prizes!
