Flesh Wound is a women's rapper team originally from Northampton, Massachusetts. The team was established in 2008 by six university and high school women. The team performs regularly at the New England Folk Festival and at events around the Pioneer Valley. Since the spring of 2011 members of the team have scattered throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island, yet our dedication to each other and love of dancing together has enabled us to continue performing as team. Our particular style of rapper reflects our unique dancing history. Four of the founding members danced with Scrambled Six of GMMS in high school, and in founding Flesh Wound they brought with them many original figures and stepping patterns. Flesh Wound has since built upon this base and specializes in creating new rhythms, figures, and transitions.
