It’s time for bros to get together and throw down. It’s time to Bro-Down.
Gentlemen, the registration for Verve’s Bro Down is now live!! Verve will be hosting the Femme Royale ladies only competition on Saturday August 19th. In an attempt to make sure the ladies do not have all the fun, the men will take the stage for the Bro-Down, the men’s only competition on Sunday August 20th. That’s right folks, ladies are up on Saturday, men are up on Sunday. Now the men’s version is only being opened to Verve members, however, if you have a bro that is not a Verve member but with whom you must throw down, then we cool with that. Get yourselves signed up.
