Phunk
Phenomenon Urban Dance Theater
The mission of Phunk Phenomenon Urban Dance
Theater has always been to use the art of dance as a catalyst for
youth outreach. Over
the past decade, Phunk has visited over 200 private and public
schools, performing and sharing the collective life experiences
of Director, Reia Briggs-Connor and her ensemble on a variety of
socially relevant topics including: the affects of drinking and
driving, drug use, peer pressure, hazing and race relations.
Through Phunk, Reia Briggs-Connor has combined her teaching degree
with her knowledge of the Hip-Hop culture, to create a positive
instrument for change and encouragement to the younger generations
to thrive.
Phunks impressive resume includes collaborations with: MTV, NBA,
NFL, WNBA, Disney World, and performances with Britney Spears,
TLC, Run DMC, No Doubt, Jessica Simpson and Alvin Ailey.
Today, Phunk Phenomenon has grown far above and beyond what co-creators
Brian White and Reia Briggs-Connor ever imagined possible.
The studio currently has 300 students and is home to the Boston
Celtics
Jr.
Dancers, “LilPhunk” (ages 5-13). Reia Briggs-Connor
and Brian White are also making plans to take Phunk Phenomenon
to a national
stage, by partnering with the charitable organization W.A.R.M
2 Kids (We are All Role Models).
