30th November 2009

Gravity-defying street dancers AMPLIFIED touched down in Australia with a clear mindset – represent their country proudly at the World Supremacy BATTLEGROUNDS Hip Hop Dance Championship. The passionate Philippine dance crew can now go back to the Philippines carrying a new title: world supremacy champions.

The young dancers arrived safely in Melbourne last Friday night after a lengthy trip of of Manila. A team spokesperson said the crew immediately felt the chilly conditions in Melbourne, but asserted that they are used to it due to similar type of weather in their hometown of Bagiuo City.

They are meant to be one of five Philippine crews to represent their country, but for various reasons only Amplified managed to get their visa documents approved. It was a photo finish as they received their visas a day before they were meant to fly out of Manila. They were disappointed to discover that the rest of the RP crews could not make it, but they were adamant that they will get on with the job. As the current GROOVE Philippines silver medallists, Amplified carried the full weight of expectations and they delivered with flying colours.

Amplified choreographers Don Fontanilla and Joseph Tadilfa mixed up their dance routine with a blend of krumping, popping, locking and funk styles.

Check out their winning performance:
