[@pohaku69]

[@slat13]

VOTE FOR KABA MODERN ON AMERICA'S BEST DANCE CREW! Hope they win!

[@RevieCliche]

this is awesome i like the idea of them switching people on and off the stage cuz holly shit theres a lot of people in this group. this dance kicks ass! ! !

[@kairiXtifa]

Oh My Eyes... They are awesome... The best...

[@degota49]

[@sweetbabyyjenny]

[@knajee]

[@ThaSweetHart]

Watching this and then watching their most recent performance @ Vibe XIV ...there's an obvious difference as far as the level of creativity and wow factor.

[@PrincessTutu92]

got my vans on - the pac love that song, even danced to it xD

[@ericlampham]

you guys are such an inspiration!

[@AbirChowdhury91]

Their isolations are soooo good!

[@kabamodern]

truth is only about half of our team is filipino...the other half is a combination of people from many other ethnicities...our choreographers are of many races as well. it is this diversity and respect for all people that allows us to innovate and display our love for dance =D

[@pohaku69]

thx for the info. i've been watching them on mtv. she's amazing.

[@zushi5]

LOVE THOSE GUYS!!! WOOT!!

[@TheSilentWarrior]

Ah..Kaba and students still continuing to take over the world I see! lol. Good job! Still my favourite group...by far.

[@jenn3230]

Man that had to be one of the sickest things I have ever seen in my life Kaba is a good group I like them and the reason I like them so much is because they give my boys the jabbawockeez some competiton cuz they are the truth thats for real and they are serious comp I loved it and with all those people you would think that it wouldnt workout but they did the damn thing for real I like kabba Seriously they are in it to win it thats why its going to be nice when they battle eachother in the finals

[@JL0vely]

cindy is the best dancer in kaba modern in my opinion..i couldnt take my eyes off her even when she wasnt in the center

[@taiger]

that's Cindy Minowa. She's in the MTV competition too!!!!!!!!! She's the best dancer ever!

[@kyoko12989]

[@smurfie27]

[@amyycx]

well the people in the show are in this video's team too except jia. she was on kaba until 2005. the 6 people in the show are kaba 07 coordinaters: cindy minowa, lawrence kao, mike song..jia (alumni and kaba legacy)..tony tran (one of the choreographers and members)..and yuri (a member). but there are new people on team also now because kaba just had auditions in february and now cindy and lawrence are also alumnis.

[@misswentz96]

[@itsjaymee]

KABA modern is selling t shirts on e-bay for our supporters and fans-just search Kaba modern under ebay! thank you for your continued support and we definitely hope to see you at our next performance!

[@archangelval]

ang galing!!!i love it!!!

[@jikjiksingson]

Dang!!! Masterpiece

[@Vinco]

it's always been this many members, like 30+. on ABDC, every crew had to have only 5-8 members dancing on the show, no matter how big. as a result of residential rules, but also of their own skills, they chose among themselves the people you see on ABDC.

[@JL0vely]

cindy is dancing her ass off! shes almost in every piece and doesnt lose a step at all!

[@godgiven5234]

N doin this performance again is a good thing God bless u motivate me !;) Gavin

[@NubQub]

very talented people.

[@fireylink08]

YAY!

[@Shh003]

1:21 with the 3 persons roling over and on top of each otehr was sick.

[@0nekhmerXViet]

that was siiick i wanna learn tutting like that =o

[@OHYEAH8D]

OMGSH!! wow! amazing!!! :]

[@arpee1686]

yup... its kaba for kababayan

[@amyycx]

that's cindy minowa from abdc. she was also one of the kaba modern coordinaters of 06 and 07.

[@ThaSweetHart]

Ok...I found it.If anyone else wants to know, the song that starts around 3:45 is "It's Alright, I feel it" by Nuyorican Soul or Jocelyn Brown

[@2PIANOS]

WOW, that's somthin...!!!

[@infamousnicone]

the song at 3.08 is..lisa shaw - grown apart

[@1MUNDLE]

a wa de rooooos that was BULLET BULLET!!!!

[@anguab]

"you can notice how much they have improved in americaas best dance crew" lol... they've always been good and this is before america's best dance crew

[@Arushi1234]

that's intersting!!

[@micromachine]

oh yeah

[@imnutapob]

There are no specific race requirements for Kaba Modern. They are a student interest group (part of a bigger group, Kababayan) at University of California, Irvine. UCI just has a very large Asian population.

[@just4kickz]

Song at 3:07 is Lisa Shaw - Grown Apart

[@kaimascarenas]

no. i totally saw it too =P

[@weishien]

soo many ppl...

[@braiscania]

aloe blacc -whole world

[@Mnguyen92]

3:07 with the white hat = mike song i can see his style of dancing that was mike

[@naaansy]

this team's dancing techniques are more dope than team millenia's. they should've one first place!

[@ThaSweetHart]

Cindy is the one with the long hair in the middle of the three girls at @ 0:43 and the one on the floor at 1:13 that we have the direct view of(She's in front of the girl with the purple top). Yuri is the one with the brownish pants on beside Lawrence(the one with the Fedora hat and vest) at around 3:09(Everybody from ABDC was in that piece except Jia). In the beginning, during the sex scene, I think she might have been paired up with Mike(he has on the light colored hat and tie.)

[@vickaaay]

got my vans on - the pac

[@hikariyami3506]

omg kaba OWNS wow

[@lowelling]

i completely agree! she's soo fucking sickkkkk!

[@KirahGrand]

i thought therre were 6ish people in the group. not so much, but dey r off the chain on 'americas best dance crew' omd,, they r sikmade!!! x ki x

[@vickaaay]

Team Millennia

[@skidude532]

i agree with you, when the hell did they get so man members? i thought it was just the 6 of them? maybe they originally had a crapload but they got smaller as they got better? all i know is that theyre absolutely insane, their isolation movements are impeccable...truly mind-boggling artistry

[@ThaSweetHart]

The list has already been posted like two or three times. Look through the comments.

[@Shh003]

No they did have a limit on the show. It was 6 or 7 people at the most.

[@amyycx]

kaba has diverse races: filipino, korean, japanese, chinese/tawainese, viet, black, persian, white, hawaiin, indian, and laos. majority may be azn because kaba is from ucirvine but that shouldn't really matter in dancing anyway.

[@pnoipr8]

hey they used this lift at the 4 minutes performance =)

[@JL0vely]

i know right! too bad she along with jia didnt get the spotlight on ABDC like yuri..cindy and jia are some crazy dancers!

[@devivre10]

Cindy from ABDC!

[@FliiGlider]

DAM!!!!! dat shit waz SICK!!!! and im normally a jabbawockeez maniac

[@MissEdisonChen]

dayyum, so many ppl...thats hard to dance in such small place no?

[@DANCE437]

use were all sooo grrrd lol:]

[@dnugRON]

wtf?? kaba is awesome. good luck on mtv!! they aint got nuthin on us....

[@Vinco]

ninoh, if you didn't read through the comments or any other videos, there's a limit on people who can be on the show. 5-8 per group(i think that's the limit). for residential purposes or something like that, they narrowed it down to the six people you see on the show.

[@amyycx]

yeah she cut her hair since then. but you can still tell by the way she dances which is still frkn hot!

[@izfelani]

they r HOTTTTT!!!wonder why they didnt get 1st place or 2nd.i mean,transition wise,they were awesome.dance step,over the top.smthing's wrong with the judges

[@ThaSweetHart]

Man, I love watching that girl in the black shorts and the purplish top! She's so good! I mean, she's not the best female dancer in Kaba(uhhh Cindy?) but it's just sumthin about her. lol

[@MantisGuy1]

ii honestly dont see anuther routine better than thiis one...they shulda won

[@jermiez]

i love the part @ :38-:40 !!

[@infamousnicone]

grown apart -lisa shaw

[@taiger]

the guy doing the wavy arm's thing in the beginning is Mike Song. Yuri Tag is the one with the black tiny bra tank top thing on (i'm not sure about that though). Cindy Minowa is the girl in jeans with the sweater in the middle. I don't think Jia is here cause she doesn't go to the school anymore? Lawrence is in the skinny black jeans. and i don't know about Tony.

[@Exojjang808]

there was a limit to how many members could participate in the dance

[@ThaSweetHart]

I believe it's called "Let's Go", however, I think it's just one of the songs that the girls used to sing on Diddy's Making The Band a couple seasons ago so I don't think it was really released but IDK...it may have been.

[@orijinnal]

lisa shaw - grown apart

[@pleasepaul]

how do they make everything that they do so sexy? oh yeah... theyre kaba modern

[@noneness]

damn i wish i was half as good

[@ThaSweetHart]

LMAO! That's what I was thinkin!

[@10rjsd1985]

1:50 is gangster...braaap

[@DANCE437]

haha alison kissed tony on the bit to danity kane go kaba!!!!!!

[@katknows]

ROBBED BLIND!!!! This routine is so much better than Team Millenia. Hands down. Is presentation part of the judging? Because they had better presentation but this routine is obviously much much better...

[@xxbabiix]

wow lol that was amazing must be tired lol

[@kidcoolangot]

[@randyriceboy]

[@arpee1686]
