@allyq90 only 5 ppl of each dance crew can be on the show, so they choose the 5 best dancers to represent the entire crew. mostly all of the crews on ABDC have a lot more members
i personally think that the majority of the crews in terms of fresh, kaba, so real, etc dance the same but the crew that introduced the style to america was kaba and honestly i havent seened anyyyyyyy iso dance dreak ever touch kaba modern the way they do it.........i think they are all great but if you look at kabas details ill put money that no group is f#@$% with them......sorry gotta give respect where is due...
ya know, mad respect to kaba for being one of the only crews left to put any breaking in a set, aside from BBA i cant remember a crew off the top of my head within the last year that put a breaking piece in
The black chicks piece to losing my mind was the illest thing ive seen in a while. She has so much steez its crazy. Who ever you are damn you just blew my mind away..
why the hell are ya'll fighting over something you are not apart of. Look at the dance and enjoy it. It's funny because most people call out people for using a dance "style". Of course certain things will look alike because IT'S THE SAME STYLE. if they're ripping off choreography than fair but that obviously ain't the case here. It's a continuous cycle of inspiring, learning, and teaching. Enjoy =)
This is my favorite performance ever....KABA MODERN YOU INSPIRE SO MANY!!!!!! I watched this like so MANY time and I never get tired of it.....You guys inspire me, and I hope to see you guys up close and personal one day....NUMBER 1 FAN......
I've honestly watched this performance like 20 times and I'm still not tired of it. This is probably my favorite set from Modern this year. YEAHH GO MODERN!
This set was great! And even though Kaba used the same Bitch You'll Gag song from Fr3sh's Sock Hop set...It doesn't mean they copied. Personally, I liked Fr3sh's choreo to that song more though :P
i loved our set. it was so much fun performing it and that's all that matters! everyone did so well at body rock. congrats to all the teams that placed!
haha CG watched this so many times last night! we love you Kaba!! this set is sick! and agreed with the comment below...the girls on kaba are always hot. i wanna dance like them ahaha and jonah...ur pieces just keep getting better! ahh! you are amazing! :)
@xxLewisxx thanks anthony. you know its not like that. people who make these stupid comments dont really know what our scene is about. you KNOW i was gagging at fusion! haha but yes agreed. im so down! :D
to go into further depth, please note that the ridiculous comments put by anyone on youtube videos does NOT in any way reflect the voices or opinions of kaba modern or their dancers. this is a dance community in which we all love, respect, and enjoy the entertainment provided by ALL the teams. Dance is about one love.
@thebonubonu calm down dude. no one on modern has said anything about calling anyone out. we do what we do because its what we love to do. you can analyze and misconceive whatever you want. vogue is a style of dance that goes way back to before this dance competition was even created, and a TREMENDOUS amount of that style, this specifically known as dramatics FYI, includes shablams. its a legitimate piece of the style. so again, modern will continue to be who we are, as will everyone else.
@Kalanikoa well said mr Jonah! i remember going up to you at vibe and telling you how much i loved your piece. the piece that i did is more of a jazz funk style with a few little hints of vogueing.. our piece really arnt even the same at all, but lets not let this convo get out of hand and take away from this great set that you guys have put together. Congrats kaba modern on a job well done!
@THEairchair and besides, which team was the first to bust out a shablam and make the judges' mouths drop?
and besides, how about you judge a piece based on its actual choreography, and not on how many "shablams" or other gimmicks the choreographer incorporates?
after all, it is a dance competition, not voguing
@TheBonubonu i can't say for sure who INTRODUCED the first shablam in the scene, but it sure wasn't GRV. in terms of who COINED shablams in these competitions that made the mouths drop, i believe it was jonah in vibe 14. he came out with his first voguing piece "i am not a whore" which had SHABLAMS. then he did shablams in the body rock 2009 set (3rd place), friendship games 2009 (which was ironically the same song GRV used in fusion xi), fusion XI, & then body rock 10.
@TheBonubonu but you're right. a good piece is not based on shablams or gimmicks, its based on artistry, vision, and good choreo. its funny how you say that kms choreographers are like other people, because i never saw people do what kaba does or at least not until kaba did it first. in the past km was critiqued for not enough gimmicks but having very good choreo. this set had a balance of both. besides just good blow ups, km was still artistic, had good choreo, and was hype as hell.
@TheBonubonu I personally loved GRV's set as well and thought it was sick as hell, but you can love it without trying to down play any other team. mad respect to kaba, GRV, and every other team. everyone killed and did their thang! in the end its not about who did what first and who placed where how many times. its about each dance team doing what they love, growing, AND learning from other dancers. technically...no one in this community is truly original because everyone learned from others!
@TheBonubonu i believe kaba wasn't calling anyone out. sure, GRV has been placing RECENTLY, but if you look at kaba's history, they've got a pretty HEFTY line of trophies, awards, recognitions. in fact, if it wasn't for kaba's TREMEMDOUS contribution to the dance community, no OTHER dance team would be the way they are. think about. kaba even got an award at BR for 10 years of commitment to this dance competition and to the dance community.
@THEairchair Teams change. The current Kaba Modern is not the same team that came out with a unique style based on sharp hits, good visuals, and ORIGINALITY.This isn't a criticism at the actual dancers, who were definitely killing the routine, but to the choreographers who do similar pieces to winning teams, incorporate subliminal messages at the end, and expect no one to call them out on it despite their best intentions.
besides, if the choreographers are so much better why didn't they place?
@TheBonubonu originality? kaba definitely has originality under their belt. have you checked out vibe 14? they've been doing vogue and fem style even before grv came out with their piece and most of kabas dancers are still part of the team today.
@aznspec1alk actually...contrary to popular belief. the song has nothing to do with any specific person. i respect anthony lewis as a dancer and choreographer. i do me, he does him.
WOW... that was f***kn sick! too bad they didnt place. probably the best piece i've seen from KABA's collegiate team in a while. yeeeee kaba's back!!!!
