Jabbawockeez

Jabbawockeez

The Jabbawockeez (stylized as JabbaWockeeZ) are an American hip-hop dance crew, best known for being the winners of the First season of America's best dance crew in 2008. Established in 2003 in San Diego, California when dancers Kevin “KB” Brewer and Joe Larot put together an innovative dance crew to participate in dance competitions with the idea of disrupting the existing dance scene. At the time, they felt that dance crews were clones of one another, and were dancing to the “top” of the music instead of digging deep into the music, and they set out to do something different. With Jabbawockeez, they showcased freestyle dance and were able to strike a balance between dancing to the music and dancing as an artistic expression. By 2004, their members included Phil "Swagger Boy" Tayag, Ben "B-Tek" Chung, Chris "Cristyle" Gatdula, Rynan "Kid Rainen" Paguio, and Jeff "Phi" Nguyen. Tony "Transformer" Tran joined the crew in 2013. The Jabbawockeez do not have a group leader; choreography for their performances, as well as music and design choices, is made as a collective unit.

Awards

The first significant achievement of the Jabbawockeez was winning season 1 of America's best dance crew in 2008. In the 2008 AXA (Asian Excellence Awards), the Jabbawockeez had been voted as the Favorite Reality TV Star, where they also performed with Kaba Modern on stage. On August 5, 2012, they were the first dance crew to be awarded the Living Legend of Hip Hop Award from Hip Hop International. They were also the recipients of a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Set It Off Competition 2013, where the Jabbawockeez received the award via video and presented BabyWockee for her number.
