Džajna "Jaja" Vaňková
Jana Vaňková (born 21 March 1992 in Děčín, Czech Republic), better known by her nickname Jaja, is a Czech dancer and choreographer. She started dancing at age 14 doing freestyle dancing and battling, then later began teaching choreography.
Vaňková's dance career began in 2006 with the dance crew Out Of Bounds, where she learned to dance hip hop, and as an individual, learned popping and locking techniques, among other styles. She later became the crew's leader. Out Of Bounds became the national champions of Czech Republic in 2010,[citation needed] and semi-finalists of Czech Got Talent 2010. As an individual, she won the Dancer Of The Year award and became the national champion in 2008.[citation needed] She has also choreographed theater shows, performed in commercials, and was a backup dancer for Haddaway.[citation needed]
In 2010, Vaňková auditioned to join a dance crew based in Houston, Texas. Phillip Chbeeb, Di Zhang and Brandon Harrell, previously of the crew Marvelous Motion, were looking for dancers to form a brand new crew, and Vaňková, along with Chachi Gonzales and Emilio Dosal, were chosen as the new members, and the dance crew I.aM.mE was formed. I.aM.mE went on to become the champions of America's Best Dance Crew: Season 6 in 2011.[1] They have appeared on Paramount's The LXD Season 3, and also in the AXI series, directed by Shawn Welling.
