Filipino dance group UPeepz wows in 'World of Dance' semis with inclusion of tinikling

Just how explosive was UPeepz's routine at the World of Dance semis?

Dancing to "Bebot," the dance group peppered their routine with Filipino influences through and through. There was their choice of song, yes, and their costumes, which feature local weaves that call to mind Datus from Mindanao.

And of course, there was their impressive one-minute routine, which prominently featured the traditional folk dance tinikling — and was there some elements of singkil in their routine, too?

Judge Jennifer Lopez was stunned with UPeepz, while Ne-Yo was seen grooving and enjoying their routine.

UPeepz is a two-time World Hip Hop Dance Champion, and clearly they're out to bring honor to the country. Mabuhay! — LA, GMA News
