Jabbawockeez has developed a one-of-a-kind style that has been incredibly influential in the dance community, effectively changing the way people view dance around the globe. Dressed in expressionless white masks and gloves, they guide the audience’s attention away from individual identities and toward a unified group to create a canvas for the audience to visualize the music by painting artistic imagery through their intricate moves. After being crowned the original champions of MTV’s “Randy Jackson Presents America’s Best Dance Crew,” the group’s unmatched talent and captivating style quickly became a fan favorite throughout the world. They have appeared on numerous television shows including “Dancing With The Stars,” “So You Think You Can Dance,” “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” “Regis & Kelly,” “The TODAY Show,” “E! News” and “America’s Next Top Model.”
Described as an audio-visual story of inspiration brought to life through the harmonization of sound and movement, “MÜS.I.C.” is hailed by critics as “AMAZING!” and “One of the hottest acts in the nation.” Jabbawockeez performs “MÜS.I.C” Thursday – Saturday at 9:30 p.m. and Sunday-Monday at 7:30 p.m. Tickets beginning at $49, not including applicable service charges and taxes, are on-sale and are available at any Monte Carlo box office outlet.
