urban beat about

Urban Beat is a New York City-based dance and percussion troupe that delivers the excitement and energy of Off-Broadway hits like "Bring In Da Noise, Bring in Da Funk", "Stomp", Blast and "Blue Man Group". With their original, high-energy music and choreography, they are among the best in the business.

Their full-length shows and business meeting segments create memorable experiences for audiences at business meetings, trade shows, galas and corporate events. The troupe usually composed of 3 men and 3 women from various ethnic backgrounds (they can perform with 4-10 cast members if needed) make music using such everyday objects as Pill Bottles, Large Orange Construction Cones, 5 Gallon Plastic Buckets, Computer Keyboards, Tic Tac Boxes, Trash Cans, Brooms, Briefcases and Various Percussive Drums. Using drumsticks, Urban Beat also plays on staging sets and items found in the audience. They have created a number of novel, hi-tech percussion instruments which are used in their performances.

They also feature Cirque Du Soleil Style Acrobat's and Gymnastics, Silk Aerialist's, Jumping Boot Air Men and Contortionist's. They have also added elements to the show which consist of Glow in the Dark LED drumming on Latin Percussion Instruments along with Mobile and Live Stand up drums.

In addition to their standard numbers, Urban Beat also performs several audience-interactive numbers (planting props under the seats of the audience) egg shakers, custom drumsticks and mint tins allowing for collaboration with individual executives or the entire audience.
