Fanny Pak is a ten-member contemporary, hip-hop and jazz-trained dance crew from Los Angeles, California that gained popularity after appearing on the second season of MTV's America's Best Dance Crew (ABDC). Often while performing, the crew wears bright clothes and bold patterns reminiscent of the 1980s as well as fanny packs, which is where their crew name originated. In addition, all of the members were born in the 1980s. The crew returned to ABDC on the seventh season, placing fifth in the competition.

Matt Cady (born October 17, 1985) formed Fanny Pak while he was teaching at Debbie Reynolds Dance Studio in North Hollywood, California. Other than teaching at Debbie Reynolds, Matt choreographed the stage show Grease for the 2004 Fringe Festival in Scotland. He also choreographed a music video and a promotional tour for the independent singer Natalise. His dancing credits include Missy Elliott, ABC Family's The Secret Life of the American Teenager, Jessica Simpson, Finger 11, and Erin Hamilton. Aside from Fanny Pak, Matt is also a member of Collide Dance Company and Unity Dance Ensemble.

Before appearing on MTV, Matt and his fellow crew members performed at The Carnival: Choreographer’s Ball, a monthly performance showcase for dancers/choreographers to perform in front of other professional dancers. He is a faculty member at the Edge Performing Arts Center, Triple Threat Dance, and Intrigue Dance. He is represented by DDO Artists Agency.
