FLAVAHZ Crew on FOX News Hawaii

Summer Waikiki, Tamara Kanani Rapp, Tiara Healani Rapp, and Camren Bicondova make up half of dance crew 8 Flavahz. “There are four of us from Hawaii and four of us from L.A. And we teach each other choreography, and we work together via webcam,“ said Summer Waikiki. They met during a dance convention last summer. “We just kind of clicked and bonded, and then our director Marcelo Pacleb decided, hey let’s make a crew, and we’re going to go to America’s Best Dance Crew,“ said Tamara Kanani Rapp. One of ten finalists to make the show. And by far the youngest, from 10 to 17, which could be a little bit of a disadvantage, with each girl having to put in three hours of online schooling everyday. Still the youngsters will be shooting for the chance of a lifetime. “I’m sure I’m going to be nervous and scared cause all the other ones are older, and a lot of those crews have been together for a while,“ said Tiara Healani Rapp. You might remember just a few years ago Hawaii’s own Hype 5-0 competed on the show, shooting for fortune and fame which is exactly what this crew has in mind. “I hope we win so we can give money to the studio, and one of the crew member’s Momma, who just was diagnosed with cancer,“ said Cameron Bicondova. Your see for this dance crew there is something bigger to dance for. “We call her Momma Gibbs, she’s Angel’s mother, and she just got diagnosed with cancer. And so like okay we all have our Flavahz, and her Flavah is purple, so she represents cancer awareness,“ said Tamara. The girls hope to represent Hawaii well. America’s Best Dance Crew starts shooting episodes later this month, with air dates to follow in April.
