Kiwi dance group ReQuest has been shaking things up on the world stage.
After dancing alongside Jennifer Lopez in this year's American Idol finale, the all-girl hip hop crew from Auckland is now on the brink of even bigger things.
Group leader Parris Goebel, 20, said some of the girlshad been approached by Cirque du Soleil.
"And I'm choreographing for Cirque, so I'll be off to live in Canada for two months this September."
The Cirque du Soleil contracts are two-year deals working on the company's new production on Michael Jackson's life and music. The show will premiere in Las Vegas in May.
