Flagger Traditions
The art of flagging is usually disseminated from one person to another, one acting as a mentor, and the other as an apprentice, though one can find classes offered in cities with strong flagger presence such as New York, Houston, Dallas and San Francisco. Some flaggers report rapture in the midst of a flagging dance. Flagging is often used to express art, emotion and spiritual connection in the community. In Brazil, the English words "flagger" and "flagging" are now used to specifically refer to this type of dance or performance art.

Famous quotes containing the word traditions:
“... the more we recruit from immigrants who bring no personal traditions with them, the more America is going to ignore the things of the spirit. No one whose consuming desire is either for food or for motor-cars is going to care about culture, or even know what it is.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
