with Cirque du Soleil's show, no trapeze artists flying through the air. The stage, one of many show sites inside the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, measures only a little bigger than my 300-square-foot hotel room. Morgan Gould, the company manager, has an elegant word for it -- he calls the limited space "intimate."

It's the smallest stage for any of the three shows Jabbawockeez has had in Las Vegas since 2010. The troupe landed there after winning the America's Best Dance Crew competition on MTV in 2008, bringing along its trademark masks and innovative hip-hop choreography.
