Big Freedia (pronounced “FREE-daâ€), known as the Queen of Bounce, is at the forefront of the Bounce rap movement (a subgenre of hip-hop born out of New Orleans and known for its call and response style and lightening speed booty-shaking dance). Performing five out of seven nights in any given week with dancers she calls The Divas, Big Freedia’s show is nothing short of dazzling.
Though gay and proud, Big Freedia asserts that her (Freedia is a he but uses the feminine pronoun for her stage persona) sexuality has little to do with her music and rejects the term Sissy Bounce (the queer brand of Bounce). “All Bounce is Bounce,†he insists. “There’s no need to separate it out. All types of people—gay, straight, rich, poor, black, white come to my shows. People just wanna get out and shake their azzzz and have a good time!†And therein lies the beauty of Big Freedia: She can rock a pair of dangling gold earrings and light up a blunt and chop it up with the hardest rapper around. She’s not a gay artist, but rather an artist who happens to be gay.

SATURN RISING
Saturn Rising is a dance based performance art show founded by dancer Saturn Jones. Fusing Hip-Hop, Vogue and Theatre, the show pushes the limits of performance and the body through choreography and visual narrative. Saturn once said, "I am not just a dancer, I am a performance artist. King Saturn is the aftermath of the death of my fears and my weapon of choice was vogue."
