Welcome to nyhollywood. com.
Hey, what's up? We're the Jabbawockeez, and we're out here in LA just rehearsing for our Vegas show, Mūz. I. C. We got 20 days in Vegas, so make sure you come check us out. Right now we're about to get into our little rehearsal, and I'm about to get into this little anti-gravity section. So, I hope you guys like it. So, what we do is we just kinda press this imaginary button right here and then the guy just slows down to See? Notice the blinking is still, see? It's slow. Everything, the breathing, we drop the heart rate by half. And we're just gonna turn the off button right now. And we're gonna get Michelle Marie into a little dance lesson right now. Michelle, where are you at, girl? Let's do this. You ready? So, what we're gonna do is we're gonna do the glide. You're gonna get on the ball of your right foot, and you're gonna slide your left foot out on your heel. So, get on the left toe, turn it in, and your right turns in, and that happens simultaneously. You're gonna bring that in, so you slide, and then you glide. See?
Now you're doing it better than me.
No, I'm not. No, no, no, stop. You're not making, I'm not looking good anymore, I'm not looking cool anymore. So we go here to your elbow, shoulder, other shoulder, elbow, wrist and out. Now bring it back. Ready? Go. Wrist, elbow, shoulder, other shoulder, elbow, wrist.
Did I just pop lock and drop it? Woo! Oh, like that. That is an exclusive right now with the Jabbawockeez. Save that for uh, Vegas.
For Vegas.
So, we need to talk about Vegas, guys. Let's all gather around. Tell us about, you know, first off, what you guys are gonna be doing in Vegas.
It's different because, you know, uh, on the show, America's Best Dance Crew, you've seen us just one minute, a one and a half minute type shows. Well, right here, we got a 90 minute show, full production, all Jabbawockeez. What you're getting right now from this show is Jabbawockeez. Strictly Jabbawockeez. You know, there's no challenges, there's no, no craziness of you know, doing stuff for other artists or anything. It's just strictly what we do. Right. And all about us. So, um, and we just hope that the audience just appreciates it and they enjoy it.
I have to say congratulations on the success that you guys have had since America's Best Dance Crew. You guys have been all over. NBA All-Star game. You guys were head to toe with, or toe to toe with Shaq. Did you guys teach him any moves?
He taught us some moves, to be honest with you. We were more like head to belly, but Yeah. Head to belly.
So, where did you guys get the name Jabbawockeez and what does it mean?
Uh, Lewis Carroll. Okay. So Lewis Carroll, he did uh, Through the Looking-Glass, talking about the Jabberwocky, mysterious dragon, until you were. It's kind of boring stuff. Pretty much we flipped it, we changed the spelling, Jabbawockeez, that's us. So come check us out.
Just watching you guys dance out there with the masks on, how do you actually breathe and see through those things? I mean, those holes are so small.
Well, like what, yeah, that's pretty crazy. We learned how to breathe through our ears. It's like special yoga techniques.
Do you have gills? Are you a fish?
Yeah. Shout out Johnny Gill. Shout out Johnny Gill for the gills. You know.
You guys are working with Tabitha. Yeah. And Napoleon, which everybody knows who they are. Amazing choreographers. They're supervising choreographers. Okay. For Mūz. I. C. So, what kind of elements are they bringing as far as um, to the table for this show?
Well, they're our outside eyes. I mean, we can only do so much as artists, but we need those need those people to kinda keep us in check and just kinda put everything together. We got so many ideas, so we kinda just funnel through them, kinda spit it back out, and we yay or nay it and we just keep it pushing. Right.
Well, I have to say, you guys have insane fans because when I worked with you guys before behind the scenes at the um, America's Best Dance Crew rehearsal. Yeah. I remember like our video got so many views. How do you guys walk it out? Show me how to walk it out.
My name is Swagboy, and I'm about to show you how Jabbawockeez walks it out. Y'all ready? 5 6 7 8. Okay, so I'm back. Swagboy with Young. Give that mic back. So give a shout out. All the wockeez. Thank you so much. I am so serious, we would not be here if it wasn't for our fans, so, shout out wockeez. We'll check us out. It's Jabbawockeez, Mūz. I. C. , in Las Vegas. MGM. com.
