YOUR DESTINATION AWAITS

2014-2015 TOUR

For over a decade, you have given us the opportunity to share our love for dance and for

that, we are incredibly grateful! Providing training and career opportunities from world-class

choreographers is what we do, but how we do it is what I feel is special. From our customer-

service driven staff to our down-to-earth faculty, we always strive to maintain a positive,

family-oriented environment. Most importantly, we hope everyone who attends a Monsters

event leaves feeling happy & inspired.

We’re constantly working to enhance our offerings and are thrilled to bring you two new

events from the Monsters family. The Choreographer’s Cup is the ultimate event for aspiring

choreographers. Through a series of challenges, one talented choreographer will receive

$5,000 and an opportunity to guest teach at Monsters. Monsters A-List is our newest creation,

a competition and convention featuring successful and inspiring choreographers from Monsters

Show Alumni on faculty. The A-List will provide a fresh, new opportunity for commercial

dancers to compete and train!

Finally, with your support, Monsters On The Move Foundation has awarded over $100,000 in

financial aid in just four years to underprivileged dancers nationwide! Check out how they have

“Paid It Forward” at www.monstersonthemove.org.

Thank you for your continued support and welcome to the family!

Peace,Andy FunkFounder

BOOK A MONSTER

monsters’ mIssIonto bring dancers together with the industry’s top dance professionals in a fun and

challenging environment that fosters self-fulfillment and career development.

the monsters show Projectwas created in 2005 as a platform to introduce up-and-coming dancers to industry

professionals and hopefully launch their careers. never did we imagine that it would

develop into the springboard that it has become. Dancers from around the globe

attend monsters convention tour for the opportunity to audition for the industry’s top

choreographers where four dancers in each city are nominated as show finalists.

all finalists receive a VIP tour Pass, enabling them to attend unlimited monsters

conventions free for one full year. at the tour’s end, monsters faculty members review the

audition footage and select the cast. For many, this selection validates years of hard work

and investment in their craft. through this project, we aim to develop professional, hard

working and determined performers who will entertain for years to come.

countless dancer

success stories have

stemmed from the

monsters show. jaQuel

knight went on to

choreograph the iconic

“single ladies” dance

for superstar Beyoncé

just after completing the

monsters show process,

nick Demoura not

only danced for justin

Bieber, but became his

choreographer for the

“Believe” world tour, and Parris Goebel choreographed for and performed with jennifer

lopez, just to name a few. monsters show alumni can be found in movies, music

videos, shows, and on tour worldwide with artists like justin timberlake, lady GaGa,

Pharrell, rihanna, usher, miley cyrus, and many more. the monsters show is proud to

have launched so many great dance careers and will continue to provide opportunities

for success to dancers worldwide.
