Fanny Pak
Fanny Pak is a seven member contemporary, hip-hop and jazz trained dance crew from Los Angeles, California that gained popularity after appearing on the second season of MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew.
All while sporting their very own fanny packs…
Post ABDC, Fanny Pak has continued to find success. They choreographed and danced in Lil Mama’s “Truly In Love” video which featured season 4 So You Think You Can Dance alumnus Mark Kanemura as well as Supreme Soul crew members Frost and George. The video was choreographed by Matt Cady. They also have a line of sneakers, the Battle collection, through the independent shoe company, MilkShake Kicks in New York City. The Battle I and the Battle Black were released in September 2009. Fanny Pak choreographed, and is featured in, an upcoming commercial for the relaunch of the Hasbro children’s toy Bop It. Fanny Pak is also mentioned in the 2009 Lil Wayne song “Watch My Shoes.”
Team leader and choreographer Matt Cady is the sun in the Fanny Pak solar system, having taught the class where most of the crew met. His crewmate Glenda Morales is a vegetable-loathing Harry Potter fan with an internal alarm clock that wakes her up promptly at 8 a.m. every morning. Less of a morning person and more of a chocoholic, Phillip Collins is relishing the opportunity to have been on America’s Best Dance Crew. Also reveling in the spotlight is kooky aspiring dance therapist Tiffani Grant, who simply lives, eats and breathes dance. Cara a.k.a. Barracuda thinks her fashion sense captures her personality: loud, crazy, bright and not too serious. Meanwhile, Beau Fournier, Britney Spears fanatic and raspberry iced tea enthusiast, hopes to inspire people to let their crazy selves come alive when he unleashes his fancy footwork. Rounding out the crew is Canadian Megan Lawson, who is an eBay addict who loves to travel.
