I work very close to Market! Market! so I’m definitely going to be there on the 17th. My work finishes at 6PM so this is perfect! I’m so excited, I can’t help but show my fanboy side!
Oh and Super Cr3w is their special guest so this is also a great chance to meet and greet them in person.
Just to prove to you how much of a fan I am, here is a picture of me and the members of Jabbawockeez when I first met them (Yep, I have actually already met them before in person, but they’re sooo amazing I won’t mind meeting them again for the second, third, or “gazillionth” time). With the help of a special friend, we got back stage access to them when they performed in ASAP on their previous visit here in the Philippines. I was trying so hard to remain calm in this picture, given that I was already freaking out inside for seeing them in person.

Established in 2003, Jabbawockeez is the winner of the first season of Randy Jackson’s America’s Best Dance Crew (ABDC). Known for their signature dance moves and iconic masks and gloves, the Jabbawockeez brought hip hop and street dance to a whole new level by applying theatrical moves and “stories” to their routines. I believe the reason behind their masks is that when they perform, they wanted to be seen as a unit and that the performance be seen as a whole, not as individual dancers performing in the routine. This makes perfect sense and just makes them more amazing to me.
For those who are wondering, the name of the group is inspired by Lewis Caroll’s poem, “Jabberwocky”. If you’ve seen the latest Alice in Wonderland film (the one with Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter), you’ll see the Jabberwocky as the “dragon” that Alice slays to defeat the Red Queen.
Anyways, if any of you guys are also seeing their show at Market! Market! on the 17th, let me know and maybe we can watch together as fans? Make sure to like their Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/Jabbawockeezor visit their website at http://www.jbwkz.com.
