He battles and posts as King Havoc. IMDb’s cast listing for Homecoming credits him as Anthony “Havoc” Marche. His YouTube channel, OfficialKingHavoc, describes him in his own words as “a World renowned dancer and known for the dance style Flexn from Brooklyn NY,” and lists Homecoming, the On the Run II world tour, work with Usher and Chris Brown, and battle wins, including international events.

Those two anchors, the Brooklyn Flexn identity and the Homecoming credit, appear in both his own description and the film’s cast listing, which is how this file connects the stage name to the credited name. Other versions of his legal name circulate online. We have not been able to confirm them, so we do not print them.

The self-description matters for another reason. Flexn is a form that many audiences meet only as a viral clip with no name attached. A dancer who puts the name of the style next to his own, every time, is doing the work of credit himself.

“A World renowned dancer and known for the dance style Flexn from Brooklyn NY.” — King Havoc, on his official YouTube channel

Flexn traces to Flex N Brooklyn, a talent show and local cable program created by Rocky and Sandra Cummings in 1992. Its roots are Jamaican: bruk-up, the dancehall style whose broken-limb look gave Flexn its most famous effects, danced to reggae and dancehall rather than hip-hop.

The form is usually described through eight movement styles. Bone breaking is rhythmic contortion. Bruk-up gives the look of limbs snapped and reset. Connecting, or K’nect’N, builds shapes with the arms and hands, close to tutting. Get lo takes the body to the floor. Grooving is the rhythmic dancehall base underneath everything. Gliding creates the illusion of floating. Hat tricks turn a hat into a prop for illusions. And pausing, or pauzing, breaks movement into single frames, as if someone were hitting pause on a tape.

Pausing has an origin story the scene still tells. Reggie Gray, known as Regg Roc, is credited with creating it after losing a battle, going home and watching a tape of himself dance, frame by frame. That is Flexn in miniature: an innovation born out of a loss, studied until it became a technique.

In April 2018 Beyoncé headlined Coachella with a show built on the traditions of historically Black colleges and universities: a marching band, step teams, majorettes and a cast of dancers from across Black dance culture. Netflix released the concert film, Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé, in April 2019. IMDb lists Anthony “Havoc” Marche among its cast, credited as a flexer.

That single word, flexer, deserves attention. It means a Brooklyn street form was specifically cast into one of the most discussed live performances of the decade, and credited by name. For a style that spent years spreading through cable access tapes and battle videos, that is a milestone, and King Havoc is part of it.

His own channel also lists On the Run II, the 2018 stadium tour by Beyoncé and Jay-Z, along with work with Usher and Chris Brown. We report those as his listing. We have not found a published tour credit naming him in those productions, so this file does not attach dates or roles to them. The creative world around Beyoncé has shaped a generation of dancers; Dance Mogul Magazine has covered it through figures such as creative director Frank Gatson Jr..

Credits put a dancer on a stage. Battles show what he does when nobody has set the counts. King Havoc’s public battle record is documented on video, which is the most honest source a battle dancer can have.

In 2019 World of Dance’s official channel posted his FRONTROW round from the All Styles division at World of Dance New Jersey, a front-row view of a Flexn dancer adapting to an open, all-styles format.

Four years later he was in a Red Bull final. At the 2023 Red Bull Dance Your Style USA event, the battle media channel stance filmed the 2v2 final: King Havoc and Noahlot against Brotha E and a dancer listed as Tyler. Noahlot, a Spanish Harlem dancer, is also in DMM’s Tampa 2026 coverage. The video title records the matchup, not the result, so we do not report a winner.

Watch the two clips together and the adaptation is visible. The World of Dance round is a solo statement. The 2v2 final is a conversation, where a flexer has to set up his partner’s moments as well as his own. Both are skills the Dance Your Style format tests. Our coverage of World of Dance explains how that competition grew.

Much of King Havoc’s audience has met him outside formal competition, in freestyle sessions filmed and shared online. His own channel archives sessions with Les Twins, the French brothers Laurent and Larry Bourgeois, whose freestyle work made them two of the most watched dancers in the world.

Those sessions have traveled. DanceFam TV reviewed a #DancetoBeatbox session featuring King Havoc with Les Twins, Poison Ivvy and Najla Gold, and Step x Step Dance, one of the scene’s best-known video outlets, has featured him with Jabari. Sessions are not results, and we do not treat them as titles. They are, however, where a lot of today’s dancers are discovered, and where a style like Flexn reaches people who will never stand at a Brooklyn battle.

There is a lesson in how he has used that stage. The videos carry his name and the name of the form. When a clip goes around without context, the name travels with it.

The Red Bull Dance Your Style USA National Final took place on September 19, 2026, at the Tampa Convention Center. King Havoc is listed in the announced field that Dance Mogul Magazine’s newsroom has tracked since the event.

Pre-event field lists change. Red Bull’s official recap confirms that Tyler D. Creator competed and reached the final eight, even though he did not appear on some pre-event lists, and the reviewed sources do not say whom he replaced. For that reason, and because we have not found a bracket, a clip or a dated photo placing King Havoc on the Tampa floor, this file does not say that he competed.

What the record does show is the final: JREAMZ won the title over Kidd The Monster. When Red Bull publishes full footage or a bracket, this section will be updated with what it shows, dated and sourced.

Flexn’s story is a case study in how street dance gets absorbed. Its illusions show up in music videos, advertising and stage shows, often without the word Flexn anywhere near them. The dancers who built it in Brooklyn, many of them Black and Caribbean New Yorkers, can watch their vocabulary go global and still go uncredited.

That is why the Homecoming credit matters so much. It names the form, flexer, and it names the dancer. Every credit like it is a small correction to the record.

Dance Mogul Magazine exists to make those corrections permanent. It is the reason we trace the American social dance movement back to the people who built it, and why our Legacy coverage treats credit as history, not decoration.

As of late September 2026, the verified public record places King Havoc in the announced Tampa field and, before that, in a Homecoming credit, a World of Dance round and a Red Bull USA final. His own channel continues to document his sessions.

We have not found a published announcement of his next engagement, and we are not going to invent a schedule for him. When there is verified news, a battle result, a tour, a teaching run or an interview in his own words, this file will be updated with the date and the source.

Dance Mogul Magazine would like to hear that story from him directly: what it takes to make a Brooklyn illusion land on a stranger’s beat, in front of a crowd that votes.
