Formed in the winter of 2008, The Mooks is a brotherhood of sixteen burly men that use their personality, choreography, and humor to fully stimulate and entertain their audience. They started practicing nomadically in basements before finding their home studio, deemed Mookination, at Rutgers University – Newark. The Mooks strive on uniting the dance community by having members from different teams including UFP, Project D, and Rhythmology, as well as Alumni from Hip Hop Theory, FR3SH Dance Company, and FR3SH Juniors. They've performed all over the East Coast including New Jersey, New York, Boston, and Toronto. Their main goal on stage is to create a loving and fun experience for both the audience and themselves. Lastly, The Mooks focus on showing the audience not only what they dance like, but who they truly are.

Happy Valentine's Day y'all!
Hello tumblr! The Mooks are back on here. Sorry for the lack in posts. We've all been busy with life but are now back to post more stuff on here. To make up for the lack of posts, we will show you a couple of vids from our fellow members that have come up during our hiatus. It blows my mind how much individual talent on this very team. So sit back and relax while we post choreography from members of The Mooks.

Check out my first official video! It’s an older piece previously performed by Project D. I just wanted to do something nice and simple that represented me as a choreographer and dancer. Hope you all enjoy! Oh yeah….you should also come to PD Semi Formal this Saturday, November 9th! Tickets are $40 and you can go to any PD member for tickets. See you there!

endorsed by our very own Norbert reyes ( @norbeartoes ) who is also a signed dancer with CLEAR Talent Group NY/LA and was featured in Saturday Night Live and dancing with many upcoming artists!
Nj, ny, the metropolitan area!! If you have the money go, if you don’t have the money get it and go, lif you’re a beginner go, if you’re a professional go. That is all i have to say. I have learned so much from her and still there’s more! That’s an understatement. If you saw their performance at defining rhythm then you know what she’s capable of instilling in other dancers. Spread the word and share the love please! If you can’t go please make this opportunity available to those unaware by sharing this and reblogging it! Two days left!
