"Making this music video with Lil Mama was no doubt one of the most fun jobs I have had. Lil Mama is a great person and she is so fun to work
with. On set we were laughing and singing and just having a blast. It was great to watch her because she is a great performer with lots of personality. She fits in so well with the Fannies!"
-Glenda
"Making the video with lil mama was a fantabulous experience(yes I often make up words when I can't find one that matches a feeling)...The greatest thing about lil mama is the girl keeps it real and she knows how to have fun!We always felt comfortable with her which made rehearsals,the shoot day and basically any time we had together a lot less like "work" and a lot more like good times with a good friend.She's also an extremely hard and dedicated worker..no matter how busy she was she wanted to be present and rehearsing with as much as humanly possible...I will never forget when we went to one of the tapings of abdc season 3...every commercial break she would look over from the judges' table and review choreography with us..it was priceless and we all loved that "gwuire" for it!All I gotsta say is,I hope you allz enjoy the video as much as we had fun making it and keep your eye out for us cuz "we've only just begun..."

Los Angeles-based Fanny Pak formed gradually as a group of friends who took classes together and eventually started to perform for fun. Now, Matt, Glenda, Phillip, Tiffani, Barracuda, Beau and Megan all want the world to know that they're not afraid to "go there." All while sporting their very own fanny packs...
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 follow his dreams. Also living the dream is kooky aspiring dance therapist Tiffani Grant, who simply lives, eats and breathes dance.
Barracuda thinks her fashion sense captures her personality: loud, crazy, bright and not too serious. Meanwhile, Beau Fournier, a 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 that harbors a love of travel.

Tiffani on Valentines Day! Candy hearts chocolate roses stuffed animals blah blah blah LOL. Good ol valentines day. The one day out of the year where you go completely out of your way to shower the one you care for slash love with gifts maybe go out to dinner and have a romantic evening….. Well not all of us are blessed with such bliss or glee. Year after year it never fails valentines day just isn’t a fan of Tiffani LOL and in return nor am I. Out of the 22 years I have been on this earth I have never had a valentine….. I repeat NEVER! And because of this I have a bitter outlook on this so called love is in the air day. Now don’t get me wrong should the stars and planets line up in my favor (hahaha I’ll hold my breath) I would totally partake in the V-Day festivities diminishing my bitterness but until that day comes valentines day is celebrated as my verry merry unbirthday! Yes yes I took it there LOL February 14th is exactly 6 months from my actual B-Day. Coincidence… I think not! Now I know I’m not the only one with a temporary sourness for valentines day lol but it’s fine everything happens for a reason right?! Maybe that one special VDay is lurking around the corner for us but in the mean time happy unbirthday to me hahahahaha… And to the fortunates that live to enjoy Valentines Day I wish you a beautiful love filled day! Happy Valentines Day everyone!!! PS I’d looooove to hear your VDay stories good or bad so please do share :)

With out you we wouldve been nothing and we thank you for allowing us to fullfill our dreams. Here are some highlights of what fanny has done recently:
--We went to Hawaii (Caras hometown) to teach some workshops at 24 7 Dance Force and perform at Level 4 and The Neil Blaisdale Theatre with So Real. That was sooo much fun and the Hawaii fans are definately ones to look out for. Not only are they true fans..but sooo soo nice and generous to us.
--Phil, Glenda, Cara, and myself went up to San Francisco to perform at City Nights Night Club and The Crib night Club and had a blast both times. Let me tell you though...some of those club kids get freaky..haha. much love to everyone came out to those shows even though we were minus 3 fannies. That meant sooo soo much to us so thank you.
--While in San Fran..Glenda and I got to teach at the Lost Kids workshop. That was sooooooooooo much fun. If you guys dont know who the The Lost Kids are...youtube them now...and get to like them!!! heheh...Season 4 of ABDC im tellin ya.
--Our most recent trip, we went to South Carolina for the USC basketball halftime show. that was our first sporting event and we were pretty nervous...not gonna lie. But USC students really made us feel comfortable and welcome and gave us a lot of love..so again thanks to the USC students for making that trip fun.
--From South Carolina, we went up to Balitmore for the Monsters of Contemporary Convention. Matt is actually one of the Faculty members for that touring convention and we are all soo proud of him. Monsters actually has two conventions..the Hip Hop one and the Contemporary. If you like dance conventions...really look into this one. They are so professional and you learn from the best. Thats where Matt is right now actually, he's in New Jersey teaching up there...GO MATT!
--As of yesterday, Fanny Pak has had the opportunity to be in our first music video. Lil' Mama asked us to be a part of her newest music video "Truly in Love". YOU GUYS NEED TO SEE THIS VIDEO WHEN IT COMES OUT!!!! its gonna be AMAZING. the release date is gonna be on Valentines Day...sooo please please watch out for it!!! so much fun..you'll love it.

He actually designed the Lightning Bolt series shirts for us and we are on our way of making new designs for shirts.
