Raks Geek is the premiere world fusion dance, circus and fire performance company by geeks for geeks. R

Raks Geek is based in Chicago, but have made waves nationally and internationally on MSN, UK Channel 4 TV, and WGN-TV through their commitment to blend a high degree of artistic and technical mastery with fun, creativity and themes from nerd culture. They broke the internet's collective brain with a viral video of a Wookiee belly dancing to a four-piece Klingon band playing an original song in Shyriiwook. They were featured on UK Channel 4 TV's "50 Funniest Moments of the Year" and voted runner up for "Best Dance Troupe" by the Chicago Reader. "Set phasers to stunning." -The Daily Mail (UK)

Founded by Dawn Xiana Moon in 2012, Raks Geek showcases the talents of performers who are each stars in their own right. They've performed everywhere from Germany to Argentina and dance for hundreds of people every week.
