I remember doing this in elem. school during my p.e. class and I was constantly getting my ankles cracked and bruised and we never got past the basic 8-count rhythm. This is amazing beyond words. 30 years of dance background in ballet, tap and gymnastics and speed skating and I would probably still injure myself! And oh yeah, we called it "tinkling!" Will definitely continue to watch again and again. Inspiring...surreal!!

[@kaiyameyer3272]

GigiLuvs2Sing Same im in that Section in P.E. .. I've got a minor concussion where MY ANKLES GOT HIT..

[@traceyholland9882]

I did this dance in Elementary school as well, but I got on beat real quick, after my ankles got clapped a couple of times with those bamboo sticks! It was really fun as long as you can stay on beat.

[@skyview5339]

Thanks for sharing your experience. I just wanted to make a minor correction. It's Tinikling, not Tinkling...😉

[@mformatt2524]

Omg I’m happy I’m not the only one who remembered they did this in PE back in the G. I was starting to think I’m crazy

[@erwinmatic5062]

This is a fine example of the EVOLUTION of DANCE! Great work guys!

[@melchuck2]

Awesome they used ALL the steps plus some! This is a very aerobic dance, and my students LOVE practicing with the traditional music plus some hip hop Christian tunes with a very definite 3/4 beat. Way to go!!!

[@jonathanpanmendoza7257]

Millenial innovation! Terrefic! Modern twist to Philippine National Dance , the Tinikling. I think if Michael Jackson is alive, he will surely like it. More power!!!

[@lil___deb]

Probably one of the best modern tinikling performances I've seen yet!

[@highbrass7563]

Im a kid who discovered this when I was in grade 4 and had to do this as a final project in elementary school!!!! I was never a big fan of dancing or anything related to other cultures until I came across tinkling, this is an energetic fun dancing activity that I've always loved to do! We hosted a competition between six schools and I came out on top which made me feel awesome and really encourages me to do more this is why I absolutely love tinkling.... these people are utterly amazing while doing their performance

[@nievadaniel2905]

That's amazingly upgrading tinikling folk dance w/ michael jackson song.i love watching it all the time .its amusing.

[@lucybyrd1810]

My sister and I are from the Orlando area doing this dance in the 1970 that most people still do not know about. You all did GREAT!!! I never expected to see this dance on the web. Makes me cry. AWESOME!!!!!

[@BBGmediaUpload]

Mother of Tinikling! wonderful remake! i'm a Filipino here too. *me gusta

[@skypinkidol]

I’ve watched this so many times over the years and it’s still so good

[@acnolohialeon1482]

Wow... Nice.... Im proud to watch tinikling in other country. . Im Filipino here... And very proud

[@gramo63]

This may well be the best -- and most challenging -- Tinikling I have ever seen! Congratulations to the athlete-dancers. Ang ganda! I shall be watching this many, many times!

[@randomapple5229]

The dance is so mesmerising I love it it's such a cool dance

[@panchoyarra5872]

At our Filipino Fiestas, we have a mixture of traditional Filipino dance by our balikbayan people and modern dance by our young people. I thought this was awesome! It is my peoples' Tinikling on steroids - and it was done by a church youth ministry! I can see our young people doing this version of Tinikling. When my Parish music teacher teaches music of the Philippines on his Asian segment later this year to his Parish grade school students, I want him to show this video after he shows our traditional Tinikling dance. Mabuhay!

[@RSAndalis]

Amazing! I like the modern approach and great choreography. I'm a proud Pinoy!

[@lar2king]

this is what you call "EVOLUTION".. The BEST!!!!!!

[@Burners29]

you guys make me proud to be Filipino, I want to see more of this,its your generation now have fun with the tinikling

[@gwynethhoward3974]

Very cool! This dance is a thoughtful tribute to Michael Jackson who definitely made a point of teaching us all about the rhythm of peace in his songs!

[@peterbear4413]

Brilliant! This is an insane level of skill here, props to the entire group!

[@enrikoenrike1894]

I love these dance moves. Watch out guys if you got wrong moves you will end up with wrapped angkles!! Michael Jackson, now this is revolutionary east meet west.

[@cheynat10]

This really is tinikling on steroids, really freaking awesome! I'm from Texas and we use to do this in elementary school. Also I'm a Natividad too. Awesome video! 😄

[@Xylarxcode]

Damn impressive. I don't even wanna imagine how long it must have taken them to remember the routine and how many hours of practice went into this.

[@conniedove192]

It's so fun. Wish I knew where they had that where I live.

[@joycekocourek6273]

Wonderfully done!!! I'm so proud of you guys. Mabuhay and mga PINOY.

[@thessamarie5928]

Wow tinkling plus Michael Jackson. Amazing.

[@nenabunena]

WOW! You guys are really good! Usually when amateurs do tinikling, pretty uninventive, sloppily done, & cheat by wearing shoes! Also, I'm a Huge fan so I loved this of course!

[@escapethink]

Great modern rendition that syncs with MJ's song with the dance. I like how most of the configurations were covered including the cross one. Definitely not my grandma's Tinikling lol. :-)

[@dulseporree8280]

Wow Amazing those kids can dance so good. Very proud everyone. Salamat

As the greatest roller skater of all time I'm confident I could master this quickly.

[@sabsilva62766]

I love this video so much! It's the best!

[@TheBijouxStarr]

I ask you, why is "wrong" or "pambabastos"? It's still basically the tinikling, only with a modern twist. It's a good way to encourage young people to know about the dance because as pointed out previously, Filipino youth do not dance this and probably dont even know about it unless maybe through filipino class or p.e. Further more, is there a rule that states that tradition cant be modernized in some way and yet retain it's essence? Because that's what I see has happened here.

[@mardydizon3759]

TheBijouxStarr its wrong because you'll not respecting our culture and aside from that giving a illuminati song? what the heck wrong with you people

[@kimghoul360]

TheBijouxStarr If that's your opinion. Then YOU'RE WRONG!

[@pernelllagade9760]

As long as these performers know the meaning and roots of this dance, I don't see a problem in adding a modern twist to it. Whether it's the traditional or modern style, I enjoy watching this dance and a good way to show the beauty of the Filipino culture.

[@chinchilla1588]

mardy dizon ohmygod it's already 2017! I can't believe people still believe it's illuminati *facepalm*

[@mardydizon3759]

Xpired Drug watch the commercial of illuminati sucker! search it in here in youtube! and yeah it is its 2017 that whats other people think that its looks good but your like rulling us to change our culture!

[@larryariscon6120]

Wow...We care and it was wonderful!

[@MTayde]
