.pure furisuta will meld the origins of hip hop dance culture with modern-day hip hop. Two different worlds will collide and break-in each other's world. Anime lovers and music lovers will get a taste of what's truly an underground and long-forgotten lifestyle. Hip hop, b-boys/b-girls and poppers will get a sneak peek into what the rest of the Asian culture fan scene is up to. A culture that makes up 90% of Asia's entertainment industry.

About Kaba Modern
.pure freestyle PMX Pacific Media Expo Kaba Modern is a street dance group established in 1992 by a group of Kababayans at the University of California in Irvine. Originally put together to perform as "The Modern Suite" at their Pilipino Culture Night, the group has evolved from being a PCN suite to becoming one of the most cutting-edge hip hop troupes in California. Since then, the group's legacy has lived on, first and foremost as a family, embracing different styles and aspects of dance, creating quite a name for themselves as one of Southern California's most cutting edge dance groups.
Kaba Modern's dedication to dance and to each other help create a unique energy that shines on stage and off, providing them with the charisma that they are so well known for. Each year's team is full of new faces adding new dynamics to the team as never seen before...
About SickStep
.pure freestyle PMX Pacific Media Expo Before MTV and million-dollar recording contracts, there was rhymin' in the park. Before professional hip hop choreographers and hip hop dance classes, there was breakin' on the sidewalk. SickStep is a hip hop dance crew that focuses as much on where hip hop has been, as where it is going. To quote KRS-One, "You are not doing hip hop; you ARE hip hop."
SickStep dancers have been seen in music videos for Justin Timberlake J-Lo, Dream, the A-Teens (to name a few), and toured with such artists as Aaron Carter, Vina Morales, and American Idol's own Jasmine Trias. In addition, the crew's members have been featured in commercials for Heineken Beer, Bally's Total Fitness, Intel, and Honda -- as well as performing on such television shows as So You Think You Can Dance (Season's 1 and 2), Dance 360, BBC1's "Strictly Dance Fever", and Mad TV. Most recently, SickStep has even been seen as one of the Top 20 finalists on NBC's America's Got Talent. These dancers' work has not been confined to the small screen, though, as they have also been hired for feature films such as Groove, Austin Powers in Goldmember, and Jamie Kennedy's "Kickin' It Old School".
Widely known for teaching, as well as performing, various styles and genres of hip hop dance, SickStep frequently travels worldwide teaching workshops and master classes in both choreography and freestyle. Having previously taught at many of the top dance studios in both Hollywood and San Francisco, the group's veteran instructors teach weekly classes in all levels of breakdance, popping, and hip hop at several dance studios throughout the Greater Los Angeles and Orange County area.
About Poreotics
.pure freestyle PMX Pacific Media Expo A group of three high school students started dancing together in 2005. After seeing the choreography scene, they wanted to take popping the the next level in choreography. Keeping the foundations and the roots of popping, they formed Poreotics in December 2007. They were inspired and influenced from many dancers; just want to show some love and respect to Jose, Adverb, Popntodd, Tetris, Animatronik, Tito, Tabo, Dennis, Jetli, Wavomatic, and many more.... Poreotics wouldn't be here without them.
Poreotics love to dance, cypher, perform and entertain the crowd. They want to be able to put on a good show, to inspire the younger ones, and also to be inspired by other dancers.
