"Queen Medley"

Songs from queen & Styx (Mr. Roboto)
This was my 4th last dance concept before politics got in the way of my redemptive rehabilitation program sometime February of 2010. I dunno what happened to the inmates well being after that. They continued with the dancing minus my philosophy. Such a waste.

[@busyfloornurse]

I think it's a great concept to have prisoners involved in this dance program -it's good therapy -it's good for the body, mind, and soul, and it's uplifting to the spirit. The dancing is something creative and productive that inmates can do together, and there is pride self-respect, and self-esteem garnered for a job well done and being part of such a great production.

[@MaxWoudenberg]

+Diane Eggert Hayes It would certainly be nice if they did more to change the mind of criminals by doing such things!

[@kiazoblack.566]

I agree, liked their team work.

[@selah71]

Mr. Garcia, I just read where you are no longer helping these people due to politics. I'm very sorry about this. For you being unable to help and for the loss the prisoners must have felt. I know you helped lift them and pray they don't forget the humanity you showed. I imagine you also felt a loss too. I'm so sorry. Peace be with you and I pray peace for our world every day. God bless you!

[@johanna3615]

those three guys in the tutus did an amazing job

[@therealdevilsangel]

True

[@thehauntedruns]

Agreed

[@baderbanat909]

The three guy is gay...they are dancer

[@es_fernyy]

They are women. They're trans women

[@djricky09]

i think they predicted rami malek in Bohemian rhapsody, having an allusion to a Mr. Roboto, in a queen medley...hmmmm illuminatti

[@alecia-leoni4284]

Kronos199 Shane Dawson hey guys 😂

[@user-lj6zl2lx7s]

i’m watching this 10 years later and this made my day !! 😂

[@puggles9141]

*i didn't even know this existed in my country. what.*

[@cartoonjoseph7237]

*the philippines are weird but good*

[@paulamendoza9049]

If I ever went to prison, I would want to go to one like this

[@reiniest]

Paula Mendoza Its in the Philippines, good luck breaking a law there.

[@madrose26]

You dont need effort to get arrested there... Unless Duterte is still in office then that’ll be way easier!

[@zoequincey-trope4667]

Well here comes the very human side of prison. They seem to have more fun than anyone else. Just because they have been doing several rotten things that send them behind the bars does not mean they don't deserve to have fun like us. It's very inspirational somehow.

[@chloemichelle3169]

Okay but why does this make me so happy?

[@baulan511]

"I want to break free"'? Is it a good idea?

[@jewelgem9184]

maybe in a different sense as break free from being bad!!

[@thatretrocattt]

max beule yeah

[@spectu7520]

@max beule some Asians really doesn’t care much about lyrics. They tend to focus on beats or the sound of the music. As opposed to westerners, lyrics sometimes see influencing. This one though is nothing to worry about.

[@allegra64]

Freddie would’ve been so proud 🖤💛😭😭😭

[@avabee4116]

This is amazing. I think every prison should require dance lessons. Exercising gives you endorphons that make you feel happy. It's good for the mind and body too. It is discipline. It ch anges people.😊

[@ODORIZZISMD]

I want to break free haahhahahahaahahhahaahhahahahahahahaha

[@thatretrocattt]

ODORIZZI XD

[@paulettebailey6590]

I think this is awesome...eye opening....and on some level the only thing about this that surprises me is that someone thought this was possible and dared to get it started. Definitely shows true leadership potential.

[@ninja.saywhat]

lmfao you can't ask prisoners in the US to dance like this. there'll be riot that would turn into a bloodbath before they can even do this. :)

[@Sariluhoo]

More ppl in jail for minor things in the US than any other country. So I'm thinking you could. Ppl arn't all murderers, rapists or as bad as you may think.

[@carolyndee4565]

Lol tootsie|troll

[@dice2304]

Sarah Levesque-Hill even if they are in for minor things it’s all about dominance and if you’re in just for some thing very minor it’ll be very violent

[@mentalhealthadvocate3753]

tootsie|troll® isn’t this an irony in itself-more richer and advanced the country the more convoluted mindset it becomes.

[@Nomadunlimited]

You can. With the rule that anyone who will not dance will be shot on the foot.

[@paulinarittscher215]

Mr Robato for sure is not a Queen song. That song belongs to Styx. These inmates dance really good, and I think they all can benefit from it. What really makes me sad is the fact that they are.. a lot! I pray that GOD blesses this beautiful country. Keep up the good work!!!

[@waklay1957]

Hope that this prisoners if they go out theyll be productive in life

[@lanza1]

Breaktrhu and I Want To Break Free. Prisioners sing and dance. *872 deaths*

[@patriciacourt5946]

Absolutely brilliant performance, I like how they change there formation but still keep in perfect unison.... I’m sure they must be feeling the benefits, the motivation it gives them and the dancing will keep them fit. It’s a pity that other prisons don’t take this approach....Well done...

[@JoannC830]

I love these dance numbers and I always watch the entire video. I would love to see a Madonna medley. The dancer in the green tutu is super graceful!!!

[@MarkPoppinPringlesleaf]

another great preformance from you all.. i enjoy watching every video you post up. brilliant

[@anjilyn2]

this is really amazing work with the inmates, probably the most positive work I have ever seen for inmates ever! Keep up the good works!

[@Justme0410]

Never get tired to watch them ;) thanks for posting this

[@janoirmoon5099]

This is great how you have brought this program to the prisoners to give them something to focus on and be proud of.

[@emmanuelmangai1241]

This was beautiful to watch, brought a smile to my face.... FREE MY MANS 💪🏽🙏🏽

[@NoOtherNamesWereLeft]

Wonderful as always! :D These videos always makes me happy! ... And the guys in tutus were great! The move really graceously! xD

[@Drummerchef13]

except for the fact that you could tell it was 2 takes cuz the one in blue is wearing differing shoes....really good

[@geeceeel]

kitang kitang nyo ang unity na pinaiiral ng mga taong ito...nakakatuwa sila.....:) keep up the good work guys !!!!! :) :) :)

[@saucyisawesome]

This is truly year. I have lived in the Philippines since I was 12 but now I'm here in the U.S. I was born in Cebu (where the prison is) and I came back there to visit and there are many tourist from all over the world that goes by there to watch them perform. It's actually quite amazing.

[@dznm10]

One of its kind in the world!..This is a very good theraphy for all the for all the prisoners out there. Good job Mr. B. Garcia,keep it up..God bless you and your inmates..

[@kelzpei]

what an awesome rehabilitation programme, love it!!! WELL DONE GUYS.

[@MissMonicaMarian]

Love the CPDRC dance program!♥️

[@airacl]

AWESOME!You guys are so talented and amazing...

[@savantianprince]

Wonderful program Byron Garcia.

[@Tranquility32]

I love these videos! They have soooo much talent! Great choreography, too, in my opinion (especially assuming most didn’t grow up in dance studios). Everyone does such a great job.

[@pjf2675]

this should be the theme song for for Noel Fielding and Russel Brand - just plain simple truth. GREAT demonstration by those who are being rehabilitated by acceptance and team work and individual self esteem.

[@epsereth]

As usual, I'm proud of these guys. This is such a great program. I always look forward to being entertained by them!

[@rwenadelacruz2920]

Thier first CHALLENGED MICHAEL JACKSON TO OUR KING OF POP,WE REGRETS HE DIDN'T SEEN ON THE TRIBUTE OF OUR INMATES PROUD TO BE AND THEY DID WELL EXCELLENT, Breakthrough from negatives thoughts👊✌❤😊 GOD IS POWERFUL IN OUR LIFE❤IM PROUD OF YOU INMATES CEBU😊❤👏KEEP IT UP

[@frogg86]

this is a tribute to the queen, they dance for a good cause. and Freddy Mercury was gay too, so no problem with the girl clothes either

[@skykee7087]

i just can give a 100000x like to tham i will go view this prisoner......this is what every want to see.....all bad guy become good and happy

[@ur60x]

Byron F. Garcia originally wanted to introduce a program at Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC) where inmates would exercise for an hour each day. He saw waves of prisoners in the exercise yard and thought it looked good.He also claims in a British documentary that his inspiration came while watching the movie The Shawshank Redemption in particular the scene where the sounds of Mozart's Figaro flood the prison yard.

[@IGOROTakINOH]

Thanks for your reply. I understand your point though. In the case of these inmates, though it may not make a 100% change on how they'd live their lives after they're out from prison, at any rate, it helps them a lot in learning values, discipline, sense of brotherhood and team work that can make them a better social beings.

[@judithcabus6687]

Galing ng formation nila lagi. D ko na mabilang ilang beses ko na pinanood ang ka ilang dance. Lahat lalo n yung songs ni MJ.

[@mentalhealthadvocate3753]

Break free from lost opportunity, stigma and their own mind that keep telling them their lives are over. In fact human kindness, tolerance and compassion can do miracles.

[@0eoghan0]

these are always great to watch

[@haydigiron9823]

Eh mirado este video varias veces y me encanta gracias por compartir a todos desde Los Angeles California ♥ 😄

[@gigiii029]

3:00 my fave part!!! so adorable

[@SmolHippoQueen]

Every prisons should do that, I think it can change people to make them love something like that. They obviously look happy to do that.

[@hazelb7218]

Such a shame politics got in the way ....(as usual) and you left... ....i hope they managed to carry on this dance project x

[@Sukie1229]

They are finally doing something good in their lives.. ^_^ I'm proud!!

[@Dinoletsz]

beautiful...peace to mankind.. it gave me goosebumps at the end..

[@htcsnavybrat]

Thanks so much! Your Vids always make me smile.

[@missteary9934]

Kamusta na po sila Sana bumalik sila Dhl makikita naman sa kanila na nag eenjoy,, tagal na nito kht paulit ulit mo panoorin d ka magsasawa,,

[@3873236]

Absolutely Fantastic ! You really should write a book on what you have done !

[@lovencare62]

The show must go on and on and on enjoy the show people

[@ldefaria1]

I've watched the video dance extravaganzas from this minimum security prison in the Philippines for a number of years. I marvel at not only the dancing craft displayed (who is their choreographer????) but the passion, discipline and teamwork that must be involved. I witness individuals, no doubt with flaws, but reinventing themselves in a positive fashion - one happily embraced all who care to watch. All I can say is - bring this home. (US prisons are you watching?!

[@mightysun89]

This is do well done. Therapeutic. Talented people, wasted their lives, not knowing what kind of capabilities they have.

[@adymatus]

I'm in complete awe... amazing work. They obviously work hard. I watched the first videos added, and compared to the ones from the last year. The energy has changed, as have the expressions on thier faces. There is pride in the work they have put into these routines. Two questions: How long does it take a new inmate to "get into the grove"? And what happens to them once they leave (are there any who relapse)?

[@montemendoza]

Those inmates are in awesome shape. That has to be an excellent workout program. Great job.

[@hiphopabgurl]

well said byron! keep up the good work and thanks for sharing with us!

[@62rosangeladoro]

PARABÉNS!!! ÓTIMA ESCOLHA DAS MÚSICAS, OS DANÇARINOS ESTÃO MUITO BEM ......MARAVILHOSO!!! UMA BELA HOMENAGEM À BANDA QUEEN E UM DOS MAIORES ARTISTAS QUE TIVEMOS...MUITAS SAUDADES, CONTINUA FAZENDO MUITA FALTA PARA NOS ALEGRAR COM SUAS CANÇÕES E SUAS MIL MANEIRAS DE NOS ENTRETER!!!

[@0303gani0303]

Prison is rehabilitation, Wikipedia says; The assumption of rehabilitation is that people are not permanently criminal and that it is possible to restore a criminal to a useful life Mr Byron Gracia is just doing his job the right and unique way, that never been tried in any other prison of the world and Christian beliefs is to repent the sinner. This is one method to nuetralize their mind, then go to the next level of self reforming GOOD JOB MR BYRONFGARCIA

[@PDXTheresa22]

Umm....Queen did not sing "Mr. Roboto"...Styx did.

[@eliafrica]

You are all a Worldwide Phenomenon! I can only imagine all the hard work in planning and producing this performance! A suggestion for future productions: more camera angles or points of view during the performance would give more dynamism for editing in post production. Keep up all the great work!

[@travelrn63]

How incredible!!! What a very constructive and innovative way to spend time incarcerated. I don't know whether to compliment cultural unity or different ways of conducting a penal institution. However it occured, it is wonderful to watch. Keep up the good work!!

[@AnneGooch]

Tootsie roars....faster than the speed of light...good times never felt so good...yes Sweet Caroline!

[@susancvh]

Bravo, Mr. Garcia. You have great insight into human nature!!!

[@RushOrbit]

OMGGGGG HAHAH THIS IS GREATTT AND IT IS A GREAAATTT THING FOR THESE GUYS, i"m just so glad and happy to see how they are willing to cooperate! or are they?? o.o lol

[@millionairegym]

That's a shame Byron! I didn't realize your program ended over politics. I'm glad they continued to dance (and hope they still are).

[@emmaivarsson7693]

Music makes everyone to a better person! This is so good for these people, i wish them all luck in the future:)

[@HatRatt]

This is awesome. Even the words are a lesson.

[@ladylsacanada8837]

Great job all!! So nice to see happy, smiling faces in an awful place. Now they can belong and kill the long boring hours with practice. Brilliant idea and keep up the good work. Those that get out can actually apply to be backup dancers. They deserve it!!!

[@armygirl429]

Such a great program! Keep it up guys :)

[@bronsen842]

Officer: if you don’t dance right now, your gettin the chair! Prisoners:

[@DrKarlsOffice]

This is a beautiful thing, why would you comment this video negatively when its such a positive things that they're doing.

[@gluhtman]

Bravo! I am amazed by such hard work. Well done. Terrific music too. An 8-minute impressive feat. I love it. Courage pour la suite.

[@MsTaahV]

So the guys in the tutus are the best dancers? The one in heels is my hero...

[@RodrigoKazuma]

Congrats (again) from Brazil!!! Your Work is very very good to all world.

[@CrAzYcArNiE08]

When the camera is up the blue "girl" is wearing highheels, then when its down and close they're chucks...

[@level8473]

*Their kid finally got released out of prison* Mom: Okay son what did you learn? Son: I learned to dance mom: oke-

[@tiggergirl06]

did anybody noticed that the guy wearing the blue outfit had high heals on when the camera did a far away shot but when the camera was close up he had gym shoes on

[@Tolu1994]

i think this is the best of all your videos i lovr this.

[@rg0057]

Best video yet. Too bad no other prisons are competing. You're the best.

[@Victor12ful]

They should be dancing in a SF Giants game. That would be awesome. with their colors orange and black.!!!!!!

[@ndevera100]

Very good and entertaining. Filipinos are so talented. Good job. I love the Queen music.

[@flavour2547]

This is awesome, if we could get them doing this in our young offenders institutes maybe they would challenge eachother through dance rather than with knives

[@melaniemagdalene1616]

Like in Beat It?

[@DiggityCheckIt]

Such a POSITIVE and PEACEFUL message!! What an outstanding Prison Warden!!!! If you haven't seen these awesome prisoners before, PLEASE PLEASE click Byronfgarcia's page and watch 'NOBODY' or 'Tell me lies' or any of them. These guys are BRILLIANT! I love watching these!!

[@baderbanat909]

Ganda malinis tung galaw nila.. watching here 2019

[@barisax25]

lol omg that would be totally awesome! seriously though, i think it's so cool that these guys are disciplined enough to learn complicated dance moves. It's so fun to watch!

[@Cathyelliott]

made me cry. Nice work. Peace to you too.

[@antinoobtien]

'I Want to Break Free', the perfect song for inmates dont you think?

[@LegendoftheGalacticHero]

Great work. Plus it has been proven that people that are imprisoned but treated with respect and given some proper activities instead of making them feel as outcasts they can go back to society without causing hassle. Kudos

[@peasncawwots]

So wonderful.

[@atomicjenn]

you can never go wrong with queen

[@nashsthlm]

love it how in one shot the blue dragqueen has high heels and in the other wears converce (or somthing)..

[@DiggityCheckIt]

We are of Peace. Always.

[@JockTheCock1968]

I agree! Love the 'Queen Medley' but Mr Roboto is by STYX.

[@DanishMCR]

I think the every birdview shot is one shoot, and then the groundview is another... But then again, I think he's wearing the same shoes as the other two... I guess it's more than two...

[@babayega_]

3:04 the I want to break free chick/dude in the key in the orange fufu thing is the one that played the girl in the thriller video dance. Dude is song a lots of time sustenon. He's still in this group. Lol. And an awesome dancer
