Medea Sirkas is the embodiment of a dance extravaganza whose roots are deeply embedded in the soul of hip hop. Legendary pioneers of strutting, boogaloo, and the Fillmore dance styles, this innovative ensemble transformed the underground dance movement through a cataclysmic dance explosion which perfected these popular styles and incorporated them into synchronized dance movement. The 4 male, 1 female (Fayzo, Boogaloo Dana, Charlie Rock, Zulu Gremlin, and Fluid girl) member San Francisco/Oakland based dance group now tantalizes audiences from The Bay to Japan, each member contributing an individual flavor which combines to become what is uniquely Medea Sirkas. Inspired by life, performance, and their absolute love of the dance form, this group has continued to keep audiences awe struck for over two decades.
In the tradition of the original group of which it was formerly known, Demons of the Mind who mesmerized talent show crowds from 1978-1985, Medea Sirkas continues to transition the dance form to the next level, striving to create a unique and entertaining format whose futuristic appearance and cutting edge stage performance leaves the audience captive. The use of audio-visual effects as well as the integration of theatrical themes and staging, add the extra creative touches that make this group appeal to any audience. This versatility makes possible their ability to transition from venue to venue (whether it be in raves, nightclubs, hip-hop venues, or theatrical productions), age group to age group, and culture to culture, accommodating crowds on stages throughout the United States as well as internationally in France and Japan. This, combined with their smooth synchronized moves, contributes to the atmosphere that keeps their audience spellbound.
Medea Sirkas, whose name was penned originally by former member Justice Supreme, is reminiscent of the frenzy created by media events as well as the magic inherent in performances under the Big Top. This formula guarantees a showcase which is both unpredictable and entertaining. Medea Sirkas has performed with entertainers such as Queen Latifah, Run DMC, R. Kelly, Wyclef Jean, Heavy D, Brandy, KraftWerk, KRS1and Aaliyah, and performed in concert venues like Coolworld's Cyberfest, Budweiser Super Fest, KMEL Summer Jam, and The B Boy Masters Pro Am (San Francisco, LA, France, and Japan).
