In preparation for their three-day performance of the Red Bull Flying Bach in Chicago, the distinguished and celebrated dance crew The Flying Steps hosted a media workshop to showcase their moves.

Led by dancer Uwe Donaubauer, the workshop featured a beginners break-dance class where members of the media got in on the break-dance fun. Attendees got the chance to let loose and learn popular moves such as the “six-step” and “corkscrew.”


“The secret of Red Bull Flying Bach is that they mix Johann Sebastian Bach’s classical music with break-dance, which is something out of the ordinary for the human mind,” said Live Nation and Flying Bach tour manager.
