STREB

What STREB does

STREB (legal entity: Streb, Inc.) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit movement arts organization founded in 1985 by choreographer Elizabeth Streb and headquartered at the STREB Lab for Action Mechanics (SLAM), a converted warehouse at 51 North 1st Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The organization develops and teaches PopAction, a codified proprietary movement technique that blends dance, athletics, circus arts, boxing, rodeo, and stunt work, with emphasis on impact, velocity, falling, and defying gravity. The professional touring arm, STREB EXTREME ACTION, performs globally, while SLAM serves as the educational and community hub.

SLAM delivers a portfolio of programs in person at the Brooklyn facility: adult drop-in classes (PopAction, Acrobatics, Flying Trapeze, Strength & Stability) priced $20–$65/class, semester-long youth classes for ages 18 months through teens ($600–$850 per semester), summer camps ($475–$835/week), birthday party packages ($825–$2,600), private lessons, and subsidized rehearsal/event rentals. The organization also runs the Friday Nights at SLAM performance series, school residencies and field trips across NYC, and in-school programs supported by the NYC Department of Education and NYC Department of Cultural Affairs.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid nonprofit model combining earned program fees, ticketed performance revenue, space rental income, and contributed revenue from individual donors, corporate matches, and institutional funders including the National Endowment for the Arts, New York State Council on the Arts, NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, Bloomberg Philanthropies, Howard Gilman Foundation, and Agnes Gund Foundation. Exclusive touring representation is handled by Elsie's Management. The organization reports 11–50 employees and reaches approximately 25,000 people annually through programming and community engagement.
