Unfortunately, due to high traffic to the Kaba Modern website, we have posted the roster here:
Thank you to all of you who auditioned! We were very thrilled with all the talent that came out. Unfortunately, we were not able to take all of you, but please do not get discouraged as competition was very fierce this year. The decision process was very difficult. We hope you all enjoyed the audition process and we encourage you to continue your passion for dance.

OUR HISTORY:
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.
As our family grew, so did our need to express our art to a broader spectrum of audience, taking our performances out as far as the Bay Area and down to San Diego.
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...
Often imitated, never duplicated...UCI's very own Kaba Modern.
