History

Early career

Jet Valencia, began dancing and performing at the age of eighteen in Sydney, Australia. The self-taught dancer was inspired by watching videos of other dancers online. He auditioned for So You Think You Can Dance Australia and qualified into the Top 100 Finalists. Jet Valencia's dance style included, popping, locking, krumping, and urban street dance. In Sydney, Jet formed his own dance group consisting of members Glen Gaspi, Natasha Pinto, Kimberly Grana, Dylan Elul, Gabriel Mendoza, Christohper Patacsil, and Mei Lin. The group performed their very first dance routine at a family Christmas party in 2009. After their first performance, Jet Valencia had ambitions to take the group to compete at a national level. Through social and family connections of the original eight members, Isabel Martinez, Gerina Perez, Patrick Maglaque, Emilynn Villianueva, Emily Lee, Bridgette Badger and Nicholas Giddings joined in 2010, eventfully forming the group named Kookies and Kream.
Established in 2010 as Kookies n Kream Dance Crew, they began as a weekend dance class amongst friends in Glen Gaspi's living room. The name Kookies and Kream was inspired by the rugged street dance style of the males, co-existing with the smooth grooves from the females in the crew. The dance crew decided as a whole that they would train to compete in Sydney's dance crew Competition, Looze Control on the 28th of August, which they were then awarded Champions of the Freshman Division. After placing first in their division, Kookies and Kream crew were chosen by Nojon Entertainment to be a supporting act for Poreotics Tic Tic Tour at the Sydney City Recital Hall, on the 4th of October 2010.
Kookies and Kream expanded in 2011 with additional members bringing the total of fifteen members to nineteen. Harry Harrop, who is Glen Gaspi's cousin was recruited along with Robert Mejica, Geraldina Hintko and Charmaine Bohol, all who are high school friends of the original members.
