Kinda creepy how the guy on the right had either a tail or a penis every time his legs were in the air. Cute, and yes. it's been done before.

Thanks jbean for the youtube link-- no doubt their dance is emulating matrix ping pong! But the overall style of multiple people performing mostly in the dark with certain elements illuminated is very Mummenshantz. Unfortunately most of the available video is with them performing in the light. This is not at all how they do it in the theater. Here is a short clip with some examples of their work - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DfC47Nwttg I just would like to say that I am not a "hater"-- I was merely making an observation that their work seemed inspired by BMG and Mummenshantz.

It makes the screaming and cheering creepier and more interesting. Also, the dancers are the children of famous Scientologists, and afterward they rejoin the others and bob for apples and handle snakes and shock each other's hands with their little galvanometers.

If you click on the youtube link I provided (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyS61OT086c) and go to the 6:10 mark, it links to a dance done by a student group at UT in 2006. It feels to me that the Pi Kappa Alpha dance is just a copy of that one. Hm, I think people are misunderstanding me.

It was cool for what it was worth but it certainly wasn't worth the 80 plus dollars I recall paying to see it. The music rocked though. Well Blue Man Group was alright.

Check the 6:10 mark at this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyS61OT086c (no audio due to copyright violation). I'm sure the inspiration for the original dance came from stuff like blue man group and matrix ping pong (youtube it if you're not familiar with it), but to me Pi Kappa Alpha are just biters. Way to get to the party three years late, Pikes! Egghead, I highly doubt that was their original inspiration...
