To FLOW with NYC Flaggers means you have stepped into a community of fabric spinners and tie dying artists who get high on whirling colors and bonding with our flagging friends. FLOW is a flagging class offered bi-weekly to help us hone our flagging skill, learn new moves and practice without the fear of judgment.
Check back HERE for FLOW classes scheduled under EVENTS.

Mykel's first discipline in the arts was dance. In tandem with his talent as a singer, Mykel trained in the jazz, ballet, tap, afro Brazilian, and musical theater dance forms. He successfully transferred his training into the health and fitness industry where he taught various styles of aerobics dance classes.
Mykel is happy to once again offer his experience and training to NYC Flaggers!
As a professional entertainer Mykel will continue to work within the flagging community as his discography as feat. Vocalist continues to grow thus providing a bountiful performance playground available to flagger's around the world! Mykel's MySpace Page
Lefty brings energy wherever he finds himself. After learning of the flagdancing arts he instantly became enraptured and willing to perform at any event possible. His passion is in dance and fitness. His career is in promotional marketing. His current projects involve TV production and editing. Lefty shares the groups vision and brings his skills to help NYC Flaggers grow and come together as one. Lefty's MySpace Page
William Adriance
Marketing Asst/Facebook Admin
Born and Raised in Hawaii William was exposed to Poi Spinning as a child culturally. One day he found himself on a dancefloor mezmerized by a flagger and realized the similarities it had to poi spinning. A semi professional performer himself (with credits including Miss Saigon and King and I), today he lives, flags, fans, and spins poi in NYC.

We are NYC Flaggers! We are an innovative, cutting edge flagging community based out of New York City. We are not a flagging troupe. We are a community of flagger's, fanners, poi spinners, performance artists, dancers, singers, 9-5 professionals, who celebrate in the art form of flag dancing. We are a flagging community where diversity and innovation create magic when we flow.
NYC Flaggers has a wide range of ages, cultures, flagging styles and talents that harmonize and materialize on dance floors, parks, parades, television… where ever a touch of flagging magic is required.
NYC Flaggers has evolved into its own unique flagging community thanks to Axis Danz.
Because NYC Flaggers is a community of diverse flagging styles, we bring urban flavor that audiences savor.
