2020 and still coming back to this. Too Good. A dance classic for me

[@spicy6403]

Facts, crazy’s it’s been 12+ years

[@luigistrange2301]

@@spicy6403 i know right. Now that you've replied, Imma watch it again. I watched this to a point I can still dance every section of this since i was in highschool until now I'm full grown without forgetting the steps. 😂 nostalgia is freaking real.

[@JRodInc3]

Let's be honest they were light-years ahead of everyone else at this point. Impeccable technique, solid foundation, sharp fundamentals, clean formations, creativity and innovation. Then Mike the legend brought us the kinjaz brotherhood to continue the legacy. I was barely 8 when I first watched ABDC and since then I've been hooked all thanks to Kaba Modern.

[@skrawnyone]

2021 and im back! actually i was back every year

[@luigistrange2301]

@@skrawnyone every 6 months this video seems to pull me back. And i keep watching and the memories that come with it come crashing back to me.

[@Eskoblazin]

This group is still the best to ever grace this planet with indescribable choreography. Tony Tran is a beast. These moves you will never see anymore. This guy and group has forever been my idols.

[@orijinnal]

yuri, cindy, mike, tony, and lawrence are in this.

[@budgetarian9298]

Whos still watching this in 2018?! best batch ever!

[@KinjazDojo]

thanks for the constructive criticism! i am experimenting with krumpin, but I will definitely work hard to train in krumpin furthermore-- -mike song

[@luigistrange2301]

Just letting you know Mike, sending love from the Philippines. Ive been watching this every year. And yes im still following your projects ever since. I really wish this Covid thing ends so i can finally go there and attend your dojo classes. Ive been with you spiritually since decades ago. 😂 ultimate dream about to come true as soon as this pandemic ends.

[@JRodInc3]

You're a living legend Mike. I was barely 8 years old when I first started watching ABDC and ever since then I knew I was passionate about dancing. All thanks to Kaba Modern and yourself for continuing the legacy by bringing us the kinjaz brotherhood. You're the man.

[@showstopas]

the janet jackson part was crrazzyy and the end was even better. preformances like this just prove kaba modern is americas best dance crew..we already know it!!

[@kymberlah]

You guys are AMAZING!!!

[@nycbrownie]

oh yeah and good luck with the MTV dance show. i personally think you guys and the jabawockeez are going to be the top 2. i will be happy if either of you guys win, cuz you both deserve it.

[@JOR3Xtot]

GUys..i've been watching all your videos since the first you enter vibe.. to fusion.. to World Hip hop.. you really inspired a lot of people all over the world specially here in the Philippines..

[@dancingmom]

[@caritobaq]

AWEESOOOMEEELY IMPRESIVE!!

[@IreMarcGomez]

[@theaznfishy]

Seriously, who can argue that tutting is one of the most attractive moves in dancing history?

[@Mrasion88]

Best show ever!

[@mexicaliflipnotah9]

OMG...I love Kaba no matter wat...they're awesome!!! like intricate hip hop robots=)))

[@rainimitator0110]

O M G ... best year EVER!!!!

[@naesdashorti]

OMG! i love them soo much! when they danced to 'please don't stop the music' that was effin HOT! the whole thang was LIVE!

[@danstervibe]

haha awesome ending choreography. that girl in the end was doin her thang hahaha.

[@elvisrobinson]

WOw, U guys are Tight, I love the Style. Cant Wait to see u guys on Feb.7

[@youngPC]

i was expecting the typical dance routine, but this performance was amazing. quality choreography and perfect synchronization, and that's hard for ~20 people to do on stage. amazing, wish i was there.

[@uhmilliwilli]

Sublime, Intro and ending were the best in my opinion

[@marimar88]

one of my fav parts to date on this is how hard cindy goes on the krumping.

[@Reyessssssss]

!!!!!!!!!! Magnifique!!!! Amazing!!!!

[@ericlampham]

Wow, another great one by kaba mordern!

[@missabstract]

love their transitions.

[@bohemianbrian]

hikari! your whacking piece is sooooo sick :-) :-) :-) i love the murakamis!

[@rtablada]

wut i like about them the most is that i've seen all of their dance and compared it with other fairly high profile dancers and kaba modern's choreo are fresh, original, new and very entertaining - without sacrificing showmanship. i think their innovative style that's well-known will surely lead the way for the evolution of hip-hop dancing

[@mightyminh]

great performance tonight on the show everyone!

[@bunnyxhat]

i seriously just randomly found out about you guy like 2 min ago... and i have to say...im in love.

[@emonypemony]

[@taniaibarrae]

[@roofie]

choreography is ingenious. looks like too much fun

[@lenpan]

Ya'll are crazy sick dancers...love it!!! You better win it all at Randy Jackson's show! BIG Ups

[@charlesssgraham]

kaba modern, you guys are freaking sick. i want to go to UCI next year now just to learn from you guys

[@wouldumind]

kaba modern never ceases to amaze me! phew. always 1st place in my eyes.... you know it, :)

[@mikelcarpiochannel]

..oh no!it was Like in heaven watching you guys..Go kaba!i Must say, i really am a fan of yours! :p

[@lowelling]

cindy minowa is my heroine! props to kaba!

[@AnthonyH1994]

wow kaba modern comes up with another amazing routine and the choreography and execution for that first routine was so smooth its not even funny

[@EatersFan]

Incredible performance. Ending is unmatched by anyone ever.

[@urboyprawesh]

this is on of ma fav kaba modern's performance.. :)

[@TheDannyPhamtom]

This is undeniably the best routine from Kaba Modern. It's personally my favorite, I can watch it over and over again. I still get chills on the back of my spine from watching this haha. They're amazing, it don't matter what they win and who they come behind because their dancing and passion outshines any award they can win. FUCKIN AMAZING KM!

[@Koganei85]

I'll be honest and say I don't know much about dancing but ever since I watched their Vibe X set I've been a fan of them. They are always innovative and if some people think they are over-rated then it just shows they really don't know dancing. Ignorance is bliss to most people so they just assume MTV knows what they're talking about which is of course wrong. Lets pray that there'll be some semblance of intelligence in the world because Kaba is truly inspiring and amazing

[@BlitzImpulse]

holy shittt this is so intense! WOW!! im totally blown away.

[@slat13]

It's so awesome. Great choregraphy for all of the dances!

[@jc.delossantos]

they're always so effin clean! love it!

[@adobo12]

you guys are so awesome

[@Sandyville_rocks]

this is amazing, the energy and talent these group of people have. AWESOME~!

[@bfstek22]

this vid is legendary to me

[@lighthunter27h]

omg this was on my b-day!!!!! (random but true) this is sooooo awesome

[@dosh44]

Best Kaba performance yet!

[@devivre10]

It doesn't kill it for me to have a lot of dancers on stage, if anything, everyone is so clean that it makes it even more amazing to watch.

[@pinoysshadow]

i love the transition into every thing and its just phenomenal and amazing

[@azianxkidd]

i personally like both. but adam song is just crazy! much props to both crews

[@helmsdeep12]

u guys are freakin sick!!!!!! much love! -jason

[@michaellenguyen]

Kaba had me two years ago when I saw Vibe X

[@renaldo292001]

Kaba, thats why you are my favorite crew from all the seasons of abdc.... its nice to see the whole crew instead of the six always seen from the show even though all six performed in this competition... i think this was right before season 1

[@TheDannyPhamtom]

06 , 07 and this vibe performance set the bar so high for km and this years km is still great but just doesn't meet what we're all expecting. We should all just appreciate their love for dance and not the competition. However at the same time i do miss the chills up my spine i get from watching km and always checking youtube if theres new videos and getting so excited when there are. My all time favourite set by km =)

[@ddongmuhri72389]

god all the choreography the i'ev seen for kaba is amazing. sick just sick :]

[@buset26]

I LOVE YOU TONY TRAN!

[@makabayansanjuan3990]

[@agentorange1556]

2022 and it still hits.

[@ewikjames]

that sublime piece! blows my mind.... mad props

[@mskyyy]

I love you. I've checked this thing for a month in hopes of finding the song. Thank you.

[@pnoipr8]

i love the step at 2:09. i already loved it on the show!! YOU GUYS ACED IT!

[@renaldo292001]

you cant go wrong with picking a favorite piece but for me it definetly the ending.. especially the tutting

[@nycbrownie]

omg someone actually posted the final song. i love you funkatronik. no homo.

[@jaceonlv2]

ahh song titles. loved it

[@Taurai321]

This is one of their best performances ever. You look at the choreographers and it makes sense. Mike Song, Tony Tran, Lawrence Kao.

[@DQNguyen91]

now if they both got together it would be SOOOOO BAD ASS... kabawockeez or jabba modern would be... THE ULTIMATE DANCE CREW....

[@redmangoose182]

still my favorite kaba performance up til now :D

[@EugeneDG]

i love it..it's so hot! I 3 kaba modern!

[@Shampooie]
