UPeepz bested 42 world-class dance crews to claim the gold medal in the Megacrew Division of the World Hip-Hop Dance Championship in Phoenix, Arizona last week.
Backed by World Balance, the squad led by coach Chips Beltran proudly hoisted the country’s flag and made their mark on the dance floor as they showcased an electrifying display of talent and passion to outshine the 3,000-strong field.
It’s an impressive feat especially with the Philippine crew topping silver medalist Ping Pong Alpha of Italy, bronze medalist Da Republik of Dominican Republic, as well as teams from powerhouse countries like the US, Japan, and Canada.
This is the third time that UPeepz won gold in the highly competitive Megacrew Division.
It previously topped the contest in 2016 and 2017, and has now tied The Royal Family of New Zealand for the most gold medals in the category, which is for squads made up of 10 to 40 crew members with no age limit.
