Just ‘Cause: A Dance Choreo to Clara C’s “Offbeat” by Innonim

This is a pretty cute video. Dance crew Innonim (runner ups at Kollaboration ATL 2012), decided to flip the script a little bit and performed a choreo to neither a Hip-Hop nor Pop nor R&B nor Dub-steb track. Instead, they chose Clara C‘s infectious tune – “Offbeat“. The following clip has both a street performance as well as the footage from the show itself. Their choreo has character and heart, even if it’s not the sharpest act I’ve seen.

Just Cause: The Jubilee Project’s Spotlight on PK of Kollaboration

Paul “PK” Kim is the founder of the Kollaboration competition series – a platform for Asian-American artists that was built on the motto of “Empowerment through Entertainment”. Though he’s since stepped down from the director position, his vision is still being realized. The Jubilee Project has released a spotlight interview video on PK, interspersed with footage from one of the last shows he hosted – Kollaboration DC 2010. #DreamBig

The Jubilee Project had the opportunity to spotlight an incredible leader in the community, Paul “PK” Kim who began Kollaboration over 10 years ago. Kollaboration has since become a national force that has discovered an incredible number of talented people around the country and empowered young people around the world.

We hope this is an inspiration to #DreamBig!
