Jabbawockeez manager Lee Razalan talks about group's formation and motivation

Though Jabbawockeez is well known to most BABDC readers and fans of Hip Hop Dance, this perspective by manager Lee Razalan might shed some light on why the group continues to be so successful. Lee has been a professional dancer -- he was one of the four original silhouettes for the iPod ads.  You can get tickets for their Las Vegas show PRiSM here.

From the article in the Las Vegas Sun: "They are artist warriors at their core; movement and music are their weapons of choice. They are a band of brothers who have forged an identity as one solid army, fronted with their signature white masks and gloves. Their bottomless ammunition is the inspiration they draw from everyday life and from those they come into contact with on a daily basis. They fight in honor of the flight of ever-flowing creativity and the drive of pure imagination."

More ABDC alums performing in Las Vegas: Zoeth (Afroborike) in Peepshow with Coco (Ice loves Coco)

I had heard nothing about the fate of Afroborike members (runners up on America's Best Dance Crew Season 4) until now. Turns out, Zoeth Cardenales has been a member of Las Vegas' Peepshow for the last two years, currently starring with Coco Austen (half of the Ice Loves Coco reality show). ABDC fans can catch up with their favorite alums in shows like Jabbawockeez' PriSM, and Cirque du Soleil's Michael Jackson ONE (with 787 Crew), as well as crew alums competing at Hip Hop Internatioal in August. 

As she describes in this Las Vegas Sun article, Zoeth performs topless in the show, with roles including Lemonade and the swing for Mutha G. Watch highlights of the show below, if you dare.
