The Ruggeds are back! After the overwhelming success of GROOVE, the breaking legends now bring their very own festival to the stage in the form of a brand-new show: Jams & Gems: On Tour. Get ready for an evening dedicated to celebrating movement: filled with captivating music, sensational dance, and inexplicably rare and beautiful art on stage.
These gems were discovered during our adventures around the world. From block parties in New York to the street culture of Japan: like treasure hunters, we attended the best jams and collected the craziest gems. We share them annually at the Jams & Gems Festival—and now, we’re bringing them to you!
What to Expect
From the theater seat, you’ll embark on an unforgettable journey across the festival grounds. “Three is the Magic Number”, so we’ll make three stops along the way: riding the waves of music, poetic texts transforming into harmonies, and dance resonating all the way to the back row.
Don’t just be a spectator—be a participant in this evening. Expect a sonic sensation through diverse rhythms and be amazed by the unexpected, organic transitions that The Ruggeds are known for. In short, an evening full of surprises and discoveries. Grab your favorite people and break them out of their daily routine—bring them to this groundbreaking theater experience!
About The Ruggeds
You’ll find them everywhere: in music videos with megastars, on the biggest stages in the world, at the Olympic Games, in clubs, and in theaters. The Ruggeds are multi-time world champions in Breaking, winners of theater awards, and went viral with their last show, GROOVE. With Jams & Gems: On Tour, they once again promise to reinvent theater.
Eindhoven Ballroom
Self-expression and community are some of the key elements of Jams & Gems.
Eindhoven Ballroom is a safe space for queer dancers, performers, and individuals to freely express themselves. This supportive community organizes Eindhoven Ballroom Functions, regular events at Dynamo Eindhoven where participants can practice for ballroom competitions, known as ‘balls.’
The categories include Vogue (dance style), runway, realness (authentically embodying a specific social archetype), beauty, and fashion, where creativity and individuality are celebrated. Eindhoven Ballroom continues the tradition of the ballroom scene, which originated in the 1970s in Harlem, New York, as a safe place for queer people of color, thus contributing to self-expression and empowerment.
