Massive Monkees deliver massive fun

These truly topnotch performers took over command of the ground floor of the Student Union Tuesday night and delivered great moves and great spirit to an appreciative crowd. Anchorage even delivered some dancers for an interactive set, and I must say, the Alaskans performed with comfort and style.

Most recently, the Massive Monkees were named world champions of b-boy competition R-16 in Seoul, South Korea, becoming the first U.S. crew to win R16 in the  history of the competition.
They have 28 members and about six of them were here in Anchorage to show their skills. They have big careers, and you can read all about their achievements here.

But the real point of this post is to share some snapshot video of their performance, and Anchorage's response. 



Anna Banana Freeze invited 10 members of the audience to join her on stage. She broke them into two rows of five across the stage and then they went through various classic moves -- steps, kicks, the freeze. They caught on right away; these guys were experienced! So then they each took the stage and performed for the crowd. They seemed to be having a very good time!



And here are two more snippets of Massive Monkees, performing for the crowd. The show lasted from about 7:30-8:45 p.m. The Cafeteria was set up with a dance floor and two amazing decks of flood lights that highlighted the dancers' moves and made interesting shadows. 







I must apologize for spelling Massive Monkees with a 'y' a few times! Very sorry! You were fantastic performers. Thanks for coming to UAA's 2012 Homecoming Week.
