Author: The Jabbawockeez to Appear as Special Guests at the Ultimate B-Boy Championship
Ultimate B-Boy Championship will now feature a Special Guest Appearance by The Jabbawockeez at the MGM Grand Garden Arena
LAS VEGAS, July 7 /PRNewswire/ — UBC International announced today that the world-famous dance crew, The Jabbawockeez, will make a special guest appearance at the Ultimate B-Boy Championship being held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Friday, August 6 and Saturday, August 7. As the original champions of Randy Jackson Presents: America’s Best Dance Crew, the Jabbawockeez were the first crew to leave the ABDC stage victorious. Using their signature white masks, the well-respected dance crew is best known for their creativity, one-of-a-kind choreography, athleticism and intricate synchronization. With sold-out runs of their inspirational show “Jabbawockeez presents MUS.I.C” already completed in May and June, they will return to MGM Grand’s Hollywood Theatre after UBC for a third run from August 19 to 25. As the Jabbawockeez continue to bring hip-hop dance into a wider mainstream audience, UBC is honored to feature a dance crew of their caliber.
The Ultimate B-Boy Championship will feature the best break-dancers from around the world as they battle for the UBC title and more than $80,000. The eight competing crews will be judged on electrifying dance moves, freestyle flavor, and athletic power stunts. This B-Boy event will be the first of its kind, recognizing and promoting break-dancing on a mainstream, international scale. This first-ever UBC event will now showcase an appearance by the Jabbawockeez at the hip-hop competition.
UBC International is organization fueled by creative individuals who wish to see the art of break-dancing enter the mainstream culture. UBC is introducing its movement through its inaugural B-Boy Championship tournament in the U.S., where individuals and teams of break-dancers will compete to earn the title of B-Boy Champion.

Heavy Impact Are Climbing For More Votes
During the first few weeks of ABDC, Heavy Impact won over the judges, and apparently, they’ve now won over America, too! The crew received enough votes to keep them out of the bottom last week.
Even though they’ve become a crowd favorite, Stephen Tuifua told us he doesn’t think viewers have had a chance to see what the crew has to offer: “This [Lady Gaga] challenge is allowing us to incorporate some contemporary moves as well as some jazz. We think America is going to be shocked when they see what we bring this week. A lot of climbing, swinging and energy — it’s gonna be crazy.”
Now what could these boys be climbing? Tune in Thursday night at 10/9c to find out!
