成長歷史：
這個以戴白面具、白手套和棒球帽著稱的舞團，在2003年成立於San Diego（聖迭戈)，團名典故源於「愛麗斯夢遊仙境之鏡中奇緣」里一首叫JABBERWOCKY的鏡中詩 。他們最初多半在SD和LA演出，2007年參加America's Got Talent第二季的比賽後，知名度大增，2008年在America's Best Dance Crew以銳不可擋的氣勢奪下首季冠軍。
假面舞客這一團隊創立初衷是一群朋友想要展示自由風的舞蹈。在那個時代Hip-Hop風盛行，然而到處都是一些風格相同的舞蹈團隊，那些舞蹈者所表現的舞蹈就像是克隆過一樣。“舞蹈為了跟隨音樂的節奏”和“舞蹈作為藝術表現形式”兩者之間失去了平衡。因此就有了假面舞客的誕生。
經由《美國偶像 American Idol》評審Randy Jackson打造的《Randy Jackson Present America’s Best Dance Crew》結束了第一季的比賽，也誕生了第一隻美國最棒的舞蹈團隊，這支團隊就是JabbaWockeeZ。
JABBA早期是7個人，其中一個名字叫GaryKendell的人因肺炎去世了，所以到後面ABDC的時候他們只有6個人。他們多數舞蹈中無論開頭還是結束都有指向天的動作，那是為了紀念失去的隊友。他們的舞蹈其中又分為有10人，7人，6人，3人。每個成員都有不同的舞蹈和生活背景，這為整個團隊帶來了多元化的風格和觀點。
在ABDC比賽期間，評審Lil Mama毫不避諱地多次表示她超挺JabbaWockeeZ，Lil Mama對JabbaWockeeZ的評論是：「每次表演時，雖然你們的腳步踩得超穩，但是手部動作卻異常優雅，這是你們與眾不同的特點，也是我愛JabbaWockeeZ的原因。」
假面舞客這個創意來自於Joseph Larot, Kevin Brewer和Phil Tayag三個人。
當時整個團隊還包括另外五位成員，他們共同創造了假面舞客的特殊風格。
這五位成員分別是：Randy Bernal, Ryan Ellis, Chris Gatdula, Gary Kendell, Rainen Paguio。
而在過去的五年中，假面舞客的成員人數又增加到了11個。
所增加的那四位成員分別為：Ben Chung, Eddie Gutierrez, Saso Jimenez和Phi Nguyen。
Jabbawockeez原有11人，但由於受參賽人數限制，最後留下7人，2007年Gary Kendell,病故，就剩下了現在的6人，2003年1人加入，Jabbawockeez又變回7人，這7人都是美國人，但5人是亞裔，1人是非洲裔：
越南裔1人： Jeff Nguyen
韓國裔1人： Ben Chung
菲律賓裔4人：Rynan Shawn Paguio、Phil Tayag、Chris Gatdula 、Joe Larot
非洲裔1人： Kevin Brewer

Rynan (RAINEN) Paguio ,AKE'Kid Rainen'
rynanRynan (RAINEN) Paguio started dancing at the early age of 12 as a bboy (break dancer). He was inspired by crews from the early eighties and nineties: Rock Steady Crew, Battle Squad, Air Force Crew, and NYC breakers. He started dancing professionally at age 18. Since then he has danced and competed with some of the best bboys, and hip hop dancers in the world. Winning worldwide events, and guest performing at many worldwide shows. Rainen has danced for many professional recording artists such as nelly furtado, Missy Elliott, chingy, Ludacris, neyo, Leona Lewis, Pussycat Dolls and Gwen Stefani and has done industrials for companies such as Adidas, Nike, Pizza Hut, Mitsubishi, Anheuser Bush, and Skechers.
He has worked in films such as How She Moves and Step Up 2: the Streets where he showed his diversity in dance through stepping, hip hop choreography, and bboying. He trained with some of the best bboys/hip hop dancers in the world like Flo Master(7 GEMS/Footwork Fanatix), Poe ONe(Style Elements/Rock SO FRESH), and Gary Kendell(Mindtricks/Jabbawockeez).
He always remains a student and loves learning the history of the dance. Knowing where each dance comes from, the style of the dance, and when it was made. Hip hop dance is an evolving dance that has a foundation but leaves you free to make your own style. Without foundation a house will crumble. Without style you have no soul.
"Is there anything else that we should know? I just got married in Nov. 24, 2007. I am a sexy guy when you close your eyes! I'm Filipino. I need to pay my bills. I love hip hop. "
