1st Place VIBE XX 2015 - Cookies 

To those complaining about the audience. As a dancer, the feeling of being on stage absolutely killing it when you can hear the audience going crazy does nothing BUT give you the energy to absolutely go full out! It's all about the support!

could you imagine being the group that performs after this....

It's been 7 years. I still came back for this. This piece give me comfort that I need.

This is the best performance I have ever seen. I have been to many dance competitions because I am a dancer, and also many performances, but I have never seen anything as incredible as that. Just think about the choreographer, who choreographed an almost 8 minute long piece, and the dancers, who didn't quit, didn't mess up, and put so so so much hard work and effort into it. This is a masterpiece.

I hate it when dance videos like this get so viral because the uneducated masses start complaining about the audience but what they dont understand is the audience's cheers is the fuel to the performance. It energizes the dancers and hypes them up and it is a show of admiration and respect no matter what dance style rather than what most of you think of as disrespectful. Just my thoughts

0:00-8:01 That part was pretty badass

Makes me cry every time I see it. Greatest performance I've ever seen.

Woah, i never thought that i would be crying just watching a group of people dancing. Amazing.

Just realized that the man who sat in the center at the end wasnt in it in the beginning, symbolizing an addition to the orphanage. Such a powerful message. Well deserved 1st place!

The audience is so audience in this video.

As many as they are, I feel like every one of them had their moment to shine

Anyone come back to this from time to time? Idk how i found this a couple years ago but man I’m glad i did. I love watching dancing. But this right here is a true Gem. I feel honored to have found this and that I’m able to appreciate their hard work and skill. Simply amazing.

After watching this video about 10 times now, I just found out at 6:15, the person with the solo has a disability, and that contributed so much into the part.

It's 2024, and this is still the most beautiful yet emotional piece I've ever seen. I will always come back to you when the dancing fire in me starts going away. You showed me why I loved dancing in the first place...

I love this. I was in an orphanage. It was the loneliest thing I’ve felt. Yet my happiest. In an orphanage. It’s like having tons of brothers and sisters. Some are mean and some are there for you. When you’re at your most vulnerable, they come to help you. This made me cry because it reminded me of all the wonderful people I met in there. It was exactly like this dance. Crazy, sad, yet happy.

seriously tho? who complains about a supportive energetic audience? -_-

Who the hell are these people complaining about the audience?! Have they never seen a dance competition before!? This is what happens at every dance competition, it's part of the atmosphere, if you want a homage to dance in a silent room go watch cookies in one of their videos. If you actually go to one of these competitions live, you'll learn just how amazing it is, and how much name dropping can really uplift the performers.

Manly tears were shed...

A legendary masterpiece !!! Thank you K&M + CC for sharing your art, energy and love with the rest of us. Thank you :)

I've watched this so many times and its still amazing

Can you feel the performance through the screen...? CAUSE I DEFINITELY CAN. YEAH COOKIES!

The final pose is exactly the same pose from the beggining, one thing only changes there's a new orphan... WOW, THIS DANCE IS EVERYTHING! THANKS COOKIES (Sorry if I wrote something wrong, I don't talk english)

I knew it was Keone and Mari's choreo when they started. They have a very distinct style, I feel. Not a bad thing. But that was phenomenal.

2020, Still gets me everytime😭

why am i crying?

as someone who's been in the foster child system. This performance really hit me and stuck out. and the way they portrayed a child entering an orphanage and being afraid and said and how they all comforted him. that's when the tears fell. as a dancer I've seen many battles and performances, and of all of that this is now my favorite performance.

after so many years, this is by far still one of my favourite dance routines. there is just so much personality and creativity in it

I’ve been a dancer pretty much my whole life. I’ve seen show after show, performance after performance but it’s going to take something unworldly to top this performance! Timeless. Without a doubt the best piece of dance I’ve ever seen!

Absolutely incredible performance! Thank you Cookies! Personal Highlights: 1:06 - I love how the opening resembles a painting or the beginning of a play. Everyone has a unique pose. 1:35 - The hide and seek moment is adorable. Everyone is so in character. 2:52 - The blankets are used so well to communicate the emotion of this set. One of the many "wow" moments. 3:27 - The hands reaching out from the blankets. The pounding effect on the blankets following the beat of the song. 3:47 - My second big "wow" moment. That blanket toss! 4:10 - Extremely stunning blocking. 5:40 - The blocking, transitions, everything in this sequence is beautiful and heartbreaking. 6:44 - This last sequence, and the choreography throughout this set, is remarkable because you can see the intensity, emotion, and the love of dance in every dancer on the stage.

What can you say to this?! There really isnt enough adjectives to describe how incredible that was. This team really are the definition of VISIONARY ARTISTS, taking a message and showing the world though the power of dance. I really am lost for words right now.....

The worst part is being backstage and realizing you just lost the competition without even performing yet 😂

this is such a beautiful choreo... i cry every time

Song: Matt Corby - Brother

3:48 - 3:57 mark, this guy is the definition of goosebumps

It’s 2021, this is still my favourite performance of all time. I watched 35 times to focus on each person and they’re all amazing. Just wow

Song list Beginning: Tuxedo - do it Before 2:19 Matt Corby - Brother (Kygo remix) After 2:19 Matt Corby - brother

i honestly cried while watching this set. the concept is so surreal i love it and i love how Keone, Mari and Cookies set out to show awareness to those who can't be heard. congrats for winning, you guys definitely deserved it.

The girl in the front at 3:31 I love her she's amazing I watched her from the beginning but it's hard to find her throughout some of it.. but my her expression through movement is amazing and she attacks. . This whole piece is just amazing... I literally can't stop watching this it will never get old..

the feels..its 2016 and I'm just a 13 year old girl looking at this. I'm so happy and so amazed at what Keone, Marie, and the whole dance crew have created. How is there such thing as this? this is something impossible to do...God Bless the whole crew. I love them so much.

I already saw this video couple months ago but when i watch it again, I thought it was just like those normal dance routine seen here in RU-vid. I didn't notice when suddenly my tears fall in my eyes. I swear I really did not see that coming. I was really move not by the song but how they interpret the message through there passion on dancing. Hope and wishing to be part of there crew but i'm to far from this dream. Hopefully one day I can see you here in Cebu, Philippines. Cheer The Company.

I still come back to this and bawl my eyes out every now and then. Masterpiece.

Me when I realize at the end how the dude comes to sit back to back wasn’t there at the beginning

4 years later and im still watching, im so glad my dance teacher showed me this, i really wouldve stopped dancing if she didnt.

This piece lives rent free in my mind.

Never seen this group before! This touched my soul 👏🏼 absolutely heartfelt performance, I felt every move & yes, I cried. 🇬🇧 blessings.

That "FRONT ROW VIEW" is going to have me glued to my computer when they release it... I just can't even imagine how amazing it must have been live. I have much respect for all dancers in Cookies because through out the entire piece they ALL are giving 110% to share with the audience. And you can tell just by their facials, the energy, the love, and their passion for this art. Im watching this on my computer and I got goose bumps. Like C'mon, how performances can do that. I even shed a few tears.. I hope to one day share the stage with Cookies and hopefully dance a long side them in the future. Thank you Cookies for sharing your love from dance with the world :)

can we take a moment to appreciate: the terrific choreographer(s) and that beautiful choreography and also for being able to choreograph so many people so well. wow. the incredibly talented dancers that not only executed this choreography so well and so full of feeling, they coordinated soooo well, they were so many people yet they danced as if they were one and it was so beautiful and the AMAZING crow for being so supportive and so energetic, it is so wonderful when a crowd is just to supportive and hypes the dancers it just makes the choreography so much more energized

Each and everyone of them made a difference the second that that performace was put into the world. This Was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. The meaning behind ever move and the amount of emotion the dancers put into this, this this was just incredible.

There’s just something so special about this dance

quite possibly the greatest vibe performance ever

I can't help myself I cry everytime I see this video..

its been 8 years and I have never witnessed any performance better and meaningful than this

i am crying watching this video, it's just so beautiful and they're running a donation campaign too???? what an angel team :""")

I watch this video like once a month. it makes me so happy

8 years later i still cherish this piece, the emotion, technique, the EVERYTHING. I get shivers every time i watch

My all-time favorite choreo. I don't think anything will ever top this piece in my lifetime. In response to what many are complaining about in regards to the audience being loud: I think what a lot of people don't understand is that this is just how the hip hop community is...? Like yeah with other dance styles, it's considered respectful to be quiet through a performance but for hip hop dances and competitions in general, the audience is a huge part of the performance. It's considered rude to NOT scream in support. That means you don't like the performance. Hip hop is a style from the streets. A style from and for the masses. You can't compare it to studio styles.

This is what we need. We need dance with a message. We all get lost in the hype of other crap going on that no one is thinking about the important issues. It's time for a change, and thank you to Cookies for this. This was beautiful, breathtaking, and emotional. You deserve that 1st place, and you got it. Congrats!

7 years later and this dance piece still touch my heart and emotions so deeply ❤️❤️❤️😩

this was intense! tears, smiles n pure amazement in the choreography n energy from the dancers!

I've revisited this every year since 2015

ive watched this about ten times a year every year for 5 years

i swear i watch this every year to remind myself why i love dance so much

I still come back to this performance. It's been 5 years.

I know nothing about dance but this made me cry and I loved every second of it.

I’m here in 2019, and this performance is still my all time favorite 😭💕

The ending is too much! Oh my gosh I couldn't handle it.

I rarely get emotional over a piece, but this.. This REALLY gets me. Might be one of my new fav performance.

Coming from a dancer, this audience is amazing! They give so much energy

That part at 6:50 is so powerful and intense, it completely took my breath away! This piece is so emotional and meaningful, it is true art and expression. Congrats for the 1st place, and most importantly, thanks for sharing this with all of us!

This dance is insane. I've literally been obsessed with this video for 2 days and it's all I'm ever watching.

I'll never get over this. It's been years.

this might just be the most beautiful dance i've ever seen

song: 1-tuxedo - do it 2-Brother - Matt Corby

AMAZING! It's more than a competition, it's using our gifts and talents as dancers to raise real issues! Beautiful, Cookies

And this, my friends, is what you can call a masterpiece ;)

9 years later and I still come back to this performance. It’s literally the best dance ever

Absolutely AMAZING. Just brilliant. This was the first time *ever* I cried while watching a choreography. And yes, I am an orphan.

I’ve seen this performance for so many years now and I still can’t help to sob wow best performance I’ve ever seen will forever love this

i found this video years ago and its almost 2019 and i still come back to this video because of how touched i was by this performance so awesome!

This was a year ago but I only watch t now. I don't understand the emotion that it swept through me, that tears swell in my eyes as I watch these 34 men and women and children dance and I cried. Such a beautiful performance, more than well deserved win! Congratulations Cookies!

It’s 2019 and I still keep coming back to re-witness this masterpiece and I guess, it shall be a yearly practice of mine!

I’ve been rewatching this video for years it al ways brings me so much emotion and I’ve been watching keone and Mari for just as long and JUST TODAY realized that they choreographed this. It really makes so much sense now.

Watching this every now and then because it is my favorite performance ever and it makes my heart warm

This is such an amazing performance, Im glad I got to watch it even if only through a video. It tells such a captivating story especially with the added orphan at the end, and there's no moment where the feeling and the flow of the routine is broken or lost. Just beautiful!

I've cried so many times watch this, their talent is so much more than dance and it's so beautifully choreographed and coordinated Keone and Mari killed it aswell x🙌🏿🙌🏿 Gid has given them soooo much talent

This is such an amazing preformance! I watched this in dance class today and I looked it up right when I got home. Such a beautiful message and such beautiful choreography. It brings out the feels that's for sure!

I come back to this video occasionally and it makes me feel every time! I love how they move together so fluidly, like a school of fish. Perfect!

Cannot stop watching this even now.

Couldn't help but tear up a couple times. This is way more than just dance. thanks.

Well I dont know but Suddenly I crying very hard....their choreo is so so awesome

i cant believe i shed at least three tears while watching this. its just so beautiful, they all have such amazing talent. i could feel this in my damn chest.

2 years old and still it hits me every time , well done you brought manly tears to my eyes

Wow, usually between 1st and 2nd, I feel like it's close but man, this routine stood proudly above the rest. What I find amazing is that the creativity and "thinking outside of the box" that this team CONSISTENTLY brings somehow has not really translated to other teams. I'm not saying copy Cookies or anything, but be inspired to think about hiphop dance, routines and concepts differently. What I love most about this routine was how you felt their dancing, while the others were indeed dope routines, it felt like cool moves attached to music while this one felt like they were projecting the song and the message to you through their dance, and that's really something a lot of dancers have forgotten about. Plus the creative use of the blankets and the beds used throughout the entire routine added to their level of creativity.

WOW! They brought dancing to another level

Ive watched this video so many times over the years. It never gets old. Amazing

It's 2021, been 5 years since I first saw this and I always look for it because it's such an amazing performance

People who find the screaming annoying need to understand that it actually gives the performers more energy, in a way it also shows respect. It's showing that the crowd loves it and tbh I think if you were all in the audience you would be screaming too.... just saying

I really like this dance. All the dances that win at competitions have turns and leaps and tricks, but this highlights what the core of dance is about. It brings out the emotion in people to portray a message through movement. I don’t care how many turns you can do, or if you can do a million flips, I want to feel and understand the story you are dancing. Props to them for showing that dance is so much more than people think.

I keep coming back and watching this... it's just so amazing and well executed. the song is perfectly chosen as well. everything about this is perfect

I always find myself coming back this video. I literally dont know how many times I've seen this
