JabbaWockeeZ is a diverse male dance crew, established in 2003, created by Joe Larot, Kevin Brewer, and Phil Tayag. JabbaWockeez are 1/4 of the "Family Royale" -(JabbaWockeeZ, Boogie Monstarz, Press P.L.A.Y and Super Galactic Beat Manipulators)

The group gained fame by appearing on America's Got Talent before winning the MTV hip hop dance reality series America's Best Dance Crew on March 27, 2008. The crew has won $100,000 and a touring contract after being crowned as America's Best Dance Crew in season one. The crew is known for wearing plain white masks and gloves and performing synchronized dance moves. Their name is derived from the Lewis Carroll poem Jabberwocky (featured in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland)

Week 1

Aired on February 7, 2008.

Each crew danced to a song of their choosing. The crews were broken up in groups of three, and the best crew of each group (chosen by the judges) would be safe from this week's elimination and move on to the next week. The bolded crews were saved by the judges.

The JabbaWockeez chose to dance to the song, "Apologize", by "OneRepublic" Ft. "Timbaland" The judges all gave the JabbaWockeeZ excellent remarks to the dance. Despite the high praise, they were not one of the crews that the judges chose to be safe from eliminations

Week 2

Aired on February 14, 2008.

Each crew was given a music video with a different dance component to emulate while keeping their own style as a crew.

The JabbaWockeeZ were given the music video for "Ice Box" by Omarion-The judges gave the group high marks. JC Chasez stated the JabbaWockeeZ choreography was better than the choreography from the music video, with the crew adding a few of their own elements into the music video's original dances.

Week 3

Aired on February 21, 2008.

Each crew performed to a popular dance, also known as a "dance craze," and were required to add their own style to it as a crew. Since the dances were very simple, there were certain challenges each team had to meet while performing.

The JabbaWockeeZ were assigned to Dance to "Lean Wit it, Rock Wit it" by Dem Franchise Boyz. The challenge was to create the illusion that they could defy gravity.

To meet the challenge, two of the members lifted themselves behind the other members in a way that created the illusion of one man floating. They also did a knee float near the end of the routine. Rynan Paguio also caught a bandana while doing a flare which received praise from JC Chasez. However, JC did warn the crew not to get lazy due to a "walking transition." Lil' Mama directed the audience's attention to the beginnings and endings of the JabbaWockeez performances, as each dance began the same way that it ended the week before. The best compliments came from Shane Sparks, who exclaimed they were the sickest crew he's ever seen in his life. This became a very memorable performance by them.

Week 4

Aired on February 28, 2008.

Each crew had to create a story through dance in the movie challenge. Every crew had to dance on the same set, which was set up as a street in an urban neighborhood. They were assigned characters and asked to create a story for those characters.

The JabbaWockeeZ were assigned to be thieves in what they called "The Heist." They chose to dance to "Ayo Technology"* by 50 Cent feat. Timbaland and Justin Timberlake.

Week 5

Aired on March 6, 2008.

In honor of the 25th Anniversary of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" album, each crew was assigned a Michael Jackson song from the album "Thriller" and were given a DVD compilation of some of the Michael Jackson's dancing. They then had to perform to the song and demonstrate how much they knew about Michael Jackson's moves in their performance.

The JabbaWockeeZ were given the song "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)".

They chose to wear formal jackets, bowties and hats to represent Michael Jackson's wardrobe and Kevin Brewer exaggerated the classic "crotch-grab" which Shane Sparks highlighted during the judging. JC Chasez said he had "nothing to pick on." Lil' Mama said she felt like she was watching Michael Jackson, but she never forgot that she was watching the JabbaWockeeZ.

Week 7

Aired on March 20, 2008.

The last challenge was for the crews to illustrate the evolution of hip-hop using the same music. The final three crews had to perform to these songs using some classic hip-hop styles, such as breaking, popping, and locking.

It's very smart
