Jabbawockeez's shimmering 'MUS.I.C.' gets fans shimmying for more

Now, for the first time in Asia, the eight member dance group, who were the first winners of America’s Best Dance Crew has brought their much raved performance to the Philippines with another dance team, Super Cr3w in tow. Jabbawockeez treated their Filipino fans through a string of mall shows in Metro Manila within the last week which then capped off in Davao City Sunday. The dynamic show featured a lead character who goes through a journey of types different dance music and genres to eventually find his muse of dance, while chart toppers and pop medleys served as narrator. Some of the tunes the group moved to were Michael Jackson’s “P.Y.T”, Beyonce’s “Single Ladies”, and LMFAO’s “Party Rock Anthem”. It's a show the audience really got into. Not just because of the choreography, but also because of the play of lights and the stage set up which not only tied the performance together but added to the spectacle as well. Both Jabbawockeez and Super Cr3w have members who are of Filipino descent, adding to their draw with the local crowd. But more than the kababayan familiarity, they're also fantastic entertainers. At the recently concluded MUS.I.C exhibition, the unsuspecting crowd grew wild when the dance group, known for its rigorous moves and elaborate choreography danced with gusto and precision, to the oh so popular “Gangnam Style”! This number should have ended the program on that high note. But, instead, it made the audience famished for more! It is, perhaps, this combined ability to give the audience what it wants while at the same time surprising them, that keeps Jabbawockeez's fans both here and abroad continually enthralled by the dance group grooves. — DVM, GMA News All photos courtesy of Market!
