Timeless, the Jabbawockeez’s show on the Strip, may clock in at just 90 minutes, but in that time you lose all sense of time as you watch the performers defy physics with their bodies.
The group first moonwalked into the spotlight in 2008 when it won MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew, but its story actually started in 2003, when founders Kevin Brewer and Joe Larot envisioned a group where the art, not the artist, took center stage. The now-iconic white masks and gloves were the result—a visual unifier that transformed eight distinct dancers into a single, fluid entity. What many don’t realize is that those signature masks weren’t just a stylistic choice. In a dance world obsessed with individual stars and personalities, the Jabbawockeez made the radical decision to literally hide everyone’s faces, creating a democratic approach to performance where every member could be the lead dancer.
After their ABDC victory, the group toured internationally, performing everywhere from small clubs to massive arenas. It’s shared stages with artists like Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars, appeared in major films including Step Up 2: The Streets and even performed at the NBA All-Star Game. Its influence extends far beyond dance—it has inspired fashion collaborations, video game appearances and a generation of masked performers across multiple entertainment genres. (To get an idea of its reach, check out its Instagram page, which features the group vibing with actors, comedians and other dancers.)
In Timeless, that vision has evolved into a acclaimed multimedia experience that features cutting-edge technology, including projection mapping, LED walls and interactive elements that transform the entire theater into the dancers’ playground. With more than 2,000 performances and counting, Jabbawockeez has become a Vegas institution.
What makes the group stand out from other Strip entertainment is its uncanny ability to connect with every audience member, even behind the masks. The troupe’s faceless style lets you see yourself in the performance, whether you’re a lifelong dancer or someone who does TikTok dance challenges in secret.
Because for the Jabbawockeez, all the world’s a stage, and everyone can dance.
