Two pieces, two energies but the same fire! M&M sees two bodies searching and harmonising in a blend of contemporary dance and dancehall moves. Level Up features eleven performers from street dance scenes the world over, exploding in a shared celebration. They invent a new language of movement where waacking, krump and electro meet and intertwine to a live soundtrack.
