Best (Orange County) Dance Crew: Kaba Legacy Rehearsal

After soaring to fame on MTV's Randy Jackson Presents Best American Dance Crew (in which they should have placed at leeeast second, c'mon, America), the UC Irvine-based Kaba Modern has finally achieved the recognition they deserved--though their history has always been rich with honors, awards and recognitions. Kaba, which consists of three separate sub-teams (Kreative Moment for members 18 and under; Kaba Modern for UC Irvine students; Kaba Modern Legacy, an exhibition team for alumni and guests), is currently preparing for VIBE XV, a major hip-hop dance competition to take place on Jan. 30 at the Bren Events Center.
