Due to the overwhelming success of the critically acclaimed "MÜS.I.C.," the world-famous dance crew, Jabbawockeez, has been extended at Monte Carlo Resort and Casino through November 2011. Described as an audio-visual story of inspiration brought to life through the harmonization of sound and movement, "MÜS.I.C." is hailed by critics as "AMAZING!" and "One of the hottest acts in the nation." Jabbawockeez performs "MÜS.I.C" Thursday - Saturday at 9:30 p.m. and Sunday-Monday at 7:30 p.m.

Last night, professional ballroom dancer and ABC's Dancing With The Stars performer, Mark Ballas, was spotted enjoying the Jabbawockeez show MUS.I.C. at Monte Carlo. Noticing the star in the crowd, one of the Jabbawockeez pulled Ballas on stage to check out his moves and use him in one of the improvisational portions of the show. Check out hotos from the event below!

"Jabbawockeez has been an incredible entertainment addition to the property since opening in October," said Anton Nikodemus, president and COO of Monte Carlo. "Their energy, passion and talent have been extremely evident since day one and the success they have achieved at Monte Carlo in such a short period of time has been remarkable. We look forward to the continued partnership with the dance crew and can't wait to see what they have in store for audiences in the future."

Jabbawockeez has developed a one-of-a-kind style that has been incredibly influential in the dance community, effectively changing the way people view dance around the globe. Dressed in expressionless white masks and gloves, they guide the audience's attention away from individual identities and toward a unified group to create a canvas for the audience to visualize the music by painting artistic imagery through their intricate moves. After being crowned the original champions of MTV's "Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew," the group's unmatched talent and captivating style quickly became a fan favorite throughout the world. They have appeared on numerous television shows including "Dancing With The Stars," "So You Think You Can Dance," "The Ellen Degeneres Show," "Regis & Kelly," "The TODAY Show," "E! News" and "America's Next Top Model."

Tickets beginning at $49, not including applicable service charges and taxes, are on-sale and are available at any Monte Carlo box office outlet. An exclusive Jabbawockeez VIP Meet & Greet package, which takes place following the show and provides fans an opportunity to meet the world-famous dance crew, is also available for $165 plus tax and fees. To charge by phone, call (877) 386-8224 or (702) 730-7160 . Tickets also are available for purchase online at www.montecarlo.com and www.ticketmaster.com.
