December 14, 2007
The Monsters family received some very sad news today about the passing of Gary Kendall.
A member of the Jabbawockeez Crew, Gary Kendall a.k.a. Geeone joined the Monsters faculty just this season. We were fortunate to have him teach with us in Portland, OR in November where he received terrific reviews. He was also our MC at the 2007 Monsters in Santa Clara, CA.
The thing that stood out the most about him that weekend was when he told the dancers to "lose the angry face." He said, "I’m happy when I dance, so I can’t help but smile." Seems to me that he did a lot of that and caused others to do the same.
Gary and the Jabbawockeez have been a huge & incredibly important part of Monsters since they first participated in our LA Show three years ago.
We ask that you please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. We will share funeral information as we receive it.
We have set up an email address for you to share your thoughts, stories....
[email protected]. We'll post up your comments as they come in on our website for the world to read.
We'll miss you Gary - thank you for being a part of our lives,
Peace-
