Future's 2015 DS2 is being reimagined as DS2 REMIXED: THE BALLET, a one-night performance this September presented by Grand Marnier at BAM in Brooklyn. Emmy Award-winner Ebony Williams will choreograph professional dancers to translate DS2's mood and movement into contemporary ballet. The production will feature Black ballet performers and costumes by LaQuan Smith, combining runway-level glamour with the intensity of Future's music. BAM's history as a progressive arts hub and Brooklyn's hip-hop heritage anchor the premiere, framing the event as a bridge between Atlanta trap and classical dance traditions while challenging conventional expectations of classical performance spaces.
This September, Grand Marnier is teaming up with Future to present DS2 REMIXED: THE BALLET, a one-night-only performance that flips his trap classic into a contemporary ballet. Yes, you read that right the same project that had fans blasting March Madness in their cars will now be brought to life by professional dancers at Brooklyn's historic BAM, with choreography led by Emmy Award-winner Ebony Williams.
Trap Music Meets Pointe Shoes The concept might sound unexpected, but that's the magic. Future's music has always thrived on mood and movement, and Williams celebrated for breaking boundaries in both ballet and commercial dance is the perfect person to reimagine it. Her resume includes everything from redefining space in Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet to starring in Beyonce's Single Ladies video. For her, merging the emotional weight of DS2 with the physical expression of ballet is less of a stretch than it sounds.
The stage will be filled with Black ballet performers, bridging traditions while rewriting what classical spaces can hold. Adding to the drama is the costume design by LaQuan Smith, the New York designer known for bold, high-glamour silhouettes. His signature edge will give the ballet a runway-level aesthetic, matching the grandeur of Grand Marnier and the intensity of Future's catalog.
