Having already released two signature dance moves that have been embraced and identified in song by several dancehall acts, the Freshh Kidds dance group continues to gain notoriety as talented dancers in the dancehall space.

Their two most recognisable dance moves to date, Shingi Shingi and Splice have been garnering attention in the music industry earning them appearances in music videos and bookings for stage show performances.

Freshh Kidds can be seen in Spade Flawless' music video Shingi and Shaka Pow's video Splice feat Sadiki.

Group members include Cujo Freshh, Tajay Freshh, Davion Freshh, Jess Freshh and Twin Freshh.

The Freshh Kidds originated from Whitfield Town, St Andrew, but was started specifically on Harvey Road off Waltham Park Road by the pioneer of the group, Cujo Freshh.

They gained popularity in their community by making appearances at almost every party that was accessible and soon conceptualised their own dance moves which propelled their popularity.

Dance moves such as, Push Forward, Steppa Bounce, Jamma and the now famous Splice and Shingi Shingi, are a few of the group's original moves.

With their place now solidified in the dancehall space as talented young men with 'fresh' originality, the dancers are now looking to capitalise on the popularity their dances have gained by attending shows overseas.

At the same time, the Freshh Kidds members were quick to point out that their moves are in such demand that tourists have approached them seeking dance lessons.

"We teach white people to dance. They invite us to where they are staying and we teach them how to dance," Cujo said.

The Freshh Kidds can be contacted at freshhkidds@ live.com, Freshh Kidds family page on facebook and freshhkidds2011 on YouTube.

At the moment, the group handles their own bookings and can be contacted at (876) 430-4531, 899-8906 or 283-6213.
