Kabba Modern

During spring break, my friend from UC Irvine came back home to San Jose. And of course being from UC Irvine, she knows a lot about Kabba Modern and also Jabbawockeez. To give her some background, she is Vietnamese and she is also in a dance crew down there. She currently dances in MCIA, which is an abbreviation for Modern Completely Insane Anteaters. MCIA is a relatively big dance crew and have also grown quite popular. They even perform for the Los Angeles Clippers game every year during halftime which means that they reach a population outside their University.
Well, my friend tells me that there is a vast amount of students who do hip hop in Irvine. She talks about it as if it is the thing to do. I guess her view is kind of biased since she is a dancer, but it amazes me how much time she is able to commit to dancing. She then talks about Kabba Modern and how amazing they are. It seems that Kabba Modern is a highly selective dance crew and is apparently the best dance crew in Irvine according to my friend. She talks about how they have become known in both the international and national scale for hip hop. It seems that the style they show on America’s Best Dance Crew is very limited since the whole team is a lot bigger than five people. They range on styles just like how Movement at Berkeley showcases Jazz, Swing, Hip Hop, Lyrical, etc … It is just apparently just that the five people who are competing and representing Kabba Modern specialize in isolations, popping and other dance moves. Kabba Modern was also originally a branch from the Phillipino Club on the UC Irvine campus and it just split of and became just its own exclusive dance club. Kabba Modern is not selective on what ethnicity the person is, just as long as the person can dance. Apparently though, UCI contains a huge population of Asians who dance.
So apparently the five people who represent Kabba Modern on television are alumni or seem to be taking a quarter off to participate in the show. This shows the dedication these students have for dancing and it is awesome that they are able to communicate through dance. It also seems that Kabba Modern is very intense as they train almost everyday and practice ranges from most of the night leading into an all nighter for practices. This shows that being a member of the group must be a big time commitment, but they are able to be in a renown dance crew.
