The fourteen foot stainless steel figures express joy, ecstasy, elation, triumph, euphoria and enthusiasm. They are based on jookin’ street dance that originated in Memphis, Tennessee alongside “Buck” music during the 1990s. The figures are recognizable and understandable to all ages. The stainless steel sculptures require no maintenance and are virtually indestructible. They are constructed of 6” x 6” stainless steel tube; a material commonly used in highway bridge construction.
