Jabbawockeez to Host “The Exchange” Dance Workshops Exclusively at The University of Nevada, Las Vegas

Monthly Dance Workshops to be Held at UNLV’s Student Recreation and Wellness Center, Beginning February 19

In a partnership with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Jabbawockeez has announced a new dance workshop program to be held at the Student Recreation and Wellness Center, beginning February 19. Hosted by the world-famous dance crew, “The Exchange” dance workshops will take the participants through the mind of a Jabbawockee, delving into the dance techniques and movement exercises used to create their groundbreaking show “MÜS.I.C.” at Monte Carlo Resort and Casino. Open to all ages, “The Exchange” dance workshops begin at 1:30 p.m. and run until 5:30 p.m., with registration beginning at noon.

Passes to “The Exchange” dance workshops begin at $30 for a one-hour class ($20 for UNLV students). Other packages include $60 for three, one-hour classes ($35 for UNLV students) and $80 for the VIP bundle ($65 for UNLV students), which includes three dance workshops, Jabbawockeez merchandise and a discount to their critically acclaimed show “MÜS.I.C.” at Monte Carlo Resort. All passes are available for purchase at the front desk of the Student Recreation and Wellness Center, located on the UNLV campus. Tickets are subject to availability. Class schedules and directions to the Student Recreation and Wellness Center can be found at srwc.unlv.edu.

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. An exclusive Jabbawockeez VIP Meet & Greet package, which takes place following the show and provides fans an opportunity to meet the world-famous dance crew, is also available for $165 plus tax and fees. To charge by phone, call (877) 386-8224 or (702) 730-7160. Tickets also are available for purchase online at www.montecarlo.com and www.ticketmaster.com. Locals who present a valid Nevada ID will receive 35% off tickets. Offer is subject to availability and certain restrictions may apply.
