Las Vegas Show Inspired by Filipinos!

Since this past May, the popular dance crew, Jabbawockeez, have been performing , "MUS.I.C" (muse-I-see), in Las Vegas. Their limited engagement performance at the MGM Grand became so popular that the Monte Carlo Casino decided to make the show permanent and headline the dance group. The new release started last night and they will be performing from Tuesday -Saturday at 9:30pm.

The Jabbawockeez were founded by three guys from California, two of which are Filipino-Americans, Phil Tayag and Joseph Larot. In time, their crew grew and they eventually landed the 1st "America's Best Dance Crew" Title. Both Phil and Joseph are originally from Sacramento.

MUS.I.C, is directed and choreographed by another Filipino-American, Napoleon Dumo along with his wife, Tabitha. Also known as Nappytabs, they helped choreograph other shows like, "So You Think You Can Dance","America's Best Dance Crew" and three productions of "Cirque du Soleil". The couple also has a hiphop clothing line for dancers and a Nappytabs store and dance studio in Los Angeles.
