On Monday, June 23rd, Shane Sparks–renown hip hop choreographer and celeb judge for FOX’s So You Think You Can Dance and MTV’s America’s Next Dance Crew–celebrated his birthday in style at Falcon Restaurant in Hollywood.
Guests included Shane’s gorgeous girlfriend, Francia Raisa (The Secret Life of the American Teenager), Kel Mitchell (Keenan & Kel), Lil Mama, Layla Kayleigh, The Jabbawockeez (Winners of the first season of America’s Best Dance Crew) and DJ Goldfingers.
We were impressed with the venue’s chill and classy ambiance, but the crowd quickly brought the energy way up when the dancing began. As you may expect at a choreographer’s birthday, the place was packed with amazing talent. So much so that it made it a bit intimidating to get out on the dance floor.
After 7 weeks of watching 8 dance crews battle to be the best, MTV finally crowned JabbawockeeZ as America’s Best Dance Crew–thank God, cuz if the title went to Status Quo, I would have been exceedingly disappointed!
Jabbawockeez have insane and inventive dance moves. They dance with their heart and soul and every one of their performances is dedicated to their former crew member who passed away.
Here are two of my favorite performances–you’ll to see why they rightfully won this title:
