The Wondertwins (Billy & Bobby McClain) have created a distinctive style, while remaining artistically true to the origins of Hip Hop. Their choreography combines the technical facility of hip hop, the sophistication of the glory days of the Cotton Club, the flash of Rat Pack-era Las Vegas, and elements of vaudeville, animation, robot, tap, and mime. Their credits include Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival, Brooklyn Dance Festival, The Yard, Detroit Jazz Festival, Celebration Barn, Music Hall Loft, Joe’s Pub, Colby College of Arts, American Repertory Theater, Apollo Theater’s Club Harlem with Maurice Hines Jr., Breakin Convention and TEDX TALKS.
