Break dancing can be beautiful. That seemed the theme at Red Bull Flying Bach, a thrilling performance in Dallas where break dancers and one ballerina battled to classical music. It was intense, all that spinning and flipping and popping, yet so proper, since audiences jammed along while renditions of Johann Sebastian Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier boomed through the Majestic Theatre's speakers.
The spectacle was one of the more accessible forms of artistic expression: a "blend of high society and urban culture," says a statement from Red Bull.
Artistic Directors Vartan Bassil and Christoph Hagel have toured the show to more than 30 countries, in front of more than 400,000 people. The dancers are part of Flying Steps, a break dancing team from Germany.

Some of the dancers showed off their skills to Texas kids. Take a look:
