ODE to the NJ in CA
So last weekend, part of pDstyle was out in Irvine, CA to watch VIBE XV by Lambda Theta Delta and Kallusive Clothing. I know what you’re thinking: BUT VIBE XV has nothing to do with the East Coast?! Right and wrong. Some of our own very community dancer alumni are actually still ripping it on stage on the other coast. So here’s x minutes of fame, you’ve all made us proud. (If you’re in the east coast, and you have friends that started out on the east coast, but are now dancing on the west coast (0r any other coast for that matter), then let us KNOW!)
See if you can find FR3SH alumni Karlo Soria and Jill Veracruz in PAC Modern’s VIBE XV set! (thanks to PacificRimVideo for this drop)
Kristina Latonio, also a FR3SH alum, now San Diego resident, is back on Second to None (220) after training with Super Galactic Beat Manipulators of the Family Royale. See if you can spot her. (thanks to thatsfresh)
Yet another FR3SH alum now turned part of the Team Millennia family, Dallas Augustine can be found in this performance.
(more video drops and pictures to come)
