Los Angeles- This April, a collection of Monsters of HipHop choreographers recently gathered to select the 2008 Monsters Show Cast. After about five hours of deliberation, going over and over the audition footage and even searching additional footage online, over 60 finalists were narrowed to 14 lucky and talented dancers!  

To be selected as a cast member for The Monsters Show has become quite an honor and a tremendous catalyst for many dancers' careers.  

We proudly introduce the 2008 Cast of The Monsters Show:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                                                                     May 13, 2008

Baltimore, MD - Monsters of HipHop, the worldâ€^TMs leading hip hop dance convention, today announced that DanceJam, the social network for all things dance, will be the title sponsor for the 2008-2009 Monsters of HipHop Tour.  

DanceJam is quickly becoming the world's favorite venue to watch and rate dance videos.  With its innovative social community features, the site offers dancers and enthusiasts the ability to create unique profiles, upload dance videos and rate performances.  Videos of individual performances and dance crews can be easily uploaded from online destinations such as YouTube.com.  DanceJam catalogues dances and popular street moves, and includes video instruction for a variety of dance genres.

Dance like no one is watching.

This comes from a quote that goes: "Work like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt and dance like no one is watching."

Sometimes it takes a special circumstance for a group of words to actually have a poignant meaning to you. My mom recently gave me this advice-to dance like nobody is watching-and, really, this is the best advice I have ever gotten in my life. It is so easy to get caught up in the "what other people think of you while you dance" factor-especially when you go to Broadway dance calls regularly. After a while, you realize that if you go back to your roots, and start dancing for the fun of it, you start to get booked on jobs because people can sense your honesty. People who do what they love want to surround themselves with people who do what they love.

This is quite possibly the awesomest video I've seen on the internet in a long time. Check out this dancing walrus, who turns in a perfectly-timed routine to Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal."
