KINJAZ "Kommunity" | ARENA LA 2019 (w/ Special Guests)

Dear friends and followers, this particular performance holds true weight in our hearts. It’s always a treat to be able to share the stage with the majority of our brotherhood and Arena LA is the place that will always make that possible. But this year was extra special because we chose to make our show about something bigger than the crew...we dedicate this one to our west coast dance community.
Most of us have been a part of our dance community for over a decade, constantly meeting up at different competitions and showcases up and down the California coast. It would always be such a vibrant source of inspiration to see peers create amazing works of art on these stages and we would look forward to these moments all year to represent ourselves and our teams at these events. Through our community’s rich history, a few have truly inspired us over the years and it is our greatest honor to share the stage with them in this performance.
Thank you to Lyle Beniga, Shaun Evaristo, Brian Puspos, Lando Wilkins, and Kevin Brewer for not only honoring us with your presence for the evening, but for your influence over the years in our community. Many of us have danced with each other before, but to bring all of us together in one moment is something even more powerful than what the brotherhood could ever accomplish alone. We also want to give a major shoutout to Terry “KRNFX” Im - your unique talent is unparalleled and you know it’s always good times every time we collaborate. We hope that this sets a precedent to the younger generation that COMMUNITY is greater than COMPETITION. The collective artistry of everyone on stage has influenced millions around the world and we couldn’t be more proud and humbled to represent our urban dance community with you today.
Lastly, to Nipsey Hussle...Thank you for being a hero for the west coast. Your example to take your artistry and influence to help your own community is something that we will continue learning from. May you rest in paradise.
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

@Handy Sandy thats cause it revovles around the idea of afrocentrism. where people think everything started from black which is not true and just pure racism and supremacist driven. like jazz and blues, but who invented the instrument and chord progression? why blacks are credited for basketball when they didnt invent the sport?

[@aznoy]

Ive learned from KB, LANDO, AND VIHN when i was in futureshock SD. THIS IS HISTORY. IF KEONE WAS THERE IT WOULDVE BEEN COMPLETE. If the jabbawockeez performed together on the same stage sometime in the future this would be the only thing to top this. Not to mention my favorite choreographer Shaun Evaristo. Hes gone a different route in dancing style but he pioneered modern dance today as did KB with the Isolations you see today in Hip Hop. Lando with the Boxcutters were epic as well. Brian puspos is epic with one of a kind choreo and making it big on youtube after Soreal. Lyle is known around the world.

[@AlexDanceAdi]

totally right, some of them did so much work for the urban community and dance in general, the oldies (so real cru, boxcutthuz, kaba modern etc.) were the pionners of what we witness today, that's so sick to see all of them hitting the same stage
