Its time for Canada to get its very own version of the Dance Show alot of people have been talking about. Mixed views have been surrounding the auditions and its selection process. May they be good or bad, here’s a sneak peek at what alot of people are going to be talking about this season. All I hope is that they actually showcase street dancing in its rightfull light and that an actual street dancer takes it home!

C’est au tour au Canada d’avoir ca propre version de l’emission de danse dont tout le monde parle. Plusieurs critiques ont plane sur les auditions et leur procede de selection. Que ce soit bon ou non, voici un apercu de ce qui sera sur les levres de plusieurs cette saison. Tout ce que nous esperons c’est qu’ils presentent les danses de rues a leur vrai valeur et qu’un danseur de rue l’emporte!

After Jabba, its time for Kaba to make it down to Montreal and entertain us. All of this will take place on August 31st at Tonic Nightclub. Tickets 30$ in advance. Here’s the lowdown on the crew:

Kaba Modern is a street dance group from Orange Country, California. The group was established by Filipino dancers at the University of California, Irvine in 1992. Kaba is actually a shortened term for Kababayan, a Filipino word which means compatriot. After the group’s performance during a college cultural night, they immediately became a recognized name in the field of dancing and have also moved on to perform around Bay Area and San Diego.

A 6-person segment of their team auditioned for, and succeeded in, the right to compete as one of 12 dance crews in the first season of Randy Jackson’s interactive reality show, America’s Best Dance Crew broadcast on MTV in early 2008. In a twist of irony, none of the Kaba members on America’s Best Dance Crew were Filipino, since two Filipino Kaba Modern members who were originally going had to leave the show due to being the Kaba Modern 2008 coordinators. They where in the top 3 contestants in the first season of ABDC

Kaba Modern @ World Hip Hop Championships 2008 Prelims

Apres Jabba, c’est au tour de Kaba de faire un tour a Montreal faire une performance. Le tout se deroulera le 31 Aout au club Tonic. Les billets son 30$ a l’avance. Voici un peu d’information sur le groupe

Kaba Modern, c’est un groupe de danses de rues d’Orange Country en Californie. Le groupe a ete fonde par des danseurs philipinos a l’universite de californie, Irvine en 1992. Kaba est une abbreviation du terme Kababayan, un terme philipino voulant dire compatriote. Apres une performance du groupe a une soiree culturelle au college, ils ont immediatement ete reconnus et on voyager a travers San Diego et Bay Area afin de performer.

Une partie de leur equipe ont fait les auditions et ont pris part a la premiere saison de l’emission America’s Best Dance Crew en debut 2008. Ironiquement aucun des membres ayant pris part a l’emission etaient phillipino, puisque les membres qui allaient originalement prendre part a l’emission ont du quitter pour etre coordinateur de l’equipe Kaba Modern en 2008. Ils etaient parmis les 3 meilleurs equipes dans la premiere saison de ABDC.
