Michael Jackson Tinikling 

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!!

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

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!!!

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

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

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

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!!!

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

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.

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

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

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!!!!!

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

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!

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

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

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.

Who knows this traditional dance can be modernized. Well done 👏👏👏

Wow the song is very timing and appropriate for the dance... Definitely will copy this.😜🤣

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! 😄

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.

congrats guys...thankyou for accepting our culture... thumbs up...godbless

Nicely done..modern tinikling. so cool!!

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

when I'm 5 for me that's a game then every weekend we make tinikling dance I'm proud to say Go to play dance tinikling Now I'm 58 thanks God aleluya

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!

ok naman ah, kahit ba hiphop ang tugtog mas mabuti na yan kaysa naman tuluyan ng makalimutan kasi kahit sa Pilipinas bihira na rin sayawin ng kabataang pinoy....

I am a Folk dancer, I really love the way and the style they used. I tried tinikling a few times, it is really hard!!!

GREat Dance and music... i salute you dancers without shoes on... lots of pain in practicing.... excellent dance

I now that philipines cultural dance is amazing cause im a filipina an I dance a kunday kunday and sayaw sa bangko or in english dance at thd top of a chair.

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

They were so good! I could only do basuc traditional steps & I don't think I'll be as good as they are.👍😄

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!

Great dancers! They are so full of energy hopping the entire song.

Again I say, take that Riverdance! You all rock that bamboo like drumsticks! Bravo to these kids!

Wow tinkling plus Michael Jackson. Amazing.

THIS IS TINIKLING WITH A TWIST😊😊 ALTHOUGH ITS CONVERT IN MODERN SONG BUT THE TINIKLING ITSELF WERE STILL ..NAKAKA PROUD😊😊 KSE TAYO DIN NMN SINASAYAW DIN NTIN ANG FOREIGN DANCE 😊😊😊

that was cool....something old taken and made new amazing way to keep culture going.

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

Ang galing nakaka tuwa kayo...Yeah very creative dancers

This is an Epic Remix of our Traditional Dance in the Philippines Collab with MJ. Thank you! It's so cool to watch!

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

how cool! i didn’t think you could even use other genres!!

Very nice dance guys, i like Tinikling dance, Respect from Egypt

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. :-)

Pretty impressive, never seen one like this before. Awesome! Hip version of the traditional tinikling dance.

Recommended today! And I'm amazed! Well done 👏👏👏👏

Great job! I haven't done Tinikling since I was 12 yrs. old, this video made my heart sing!

i am already 65y.o but i don't see anything wrong with having our tinikling interpreted and danced to a M. Jackson song. at least they retained the tinikling and the bamboo poles. it's true some other countries (India for examples utilize it in their dances too) but they do not call it tinikling.

so galing guys ..great job

Tinikling in 4/4...amazing.

I did this in elementary school gym class. heheh It was a lot of fun! :) Great job!

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

im a Filipino nice one great job you are better than other filipinos

The rhythm is so cool!!

thats reali impressive i did that a couple years back and its harder than it looks!!! great job guys

That is CRAZY talent. Awesome!!!

Oh my gosh 9 years ago?! Btw they are doing GREAT!!

That is brilliant! wonder if you can teach us here in UK or perhaps share as your ideas

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!

Me: wrong music My sis: wrong music *looks at each other*

🙋As a person who is highly uncordinatted from time to time this was nice

Hahahaha modern tinilkling I remember this when I was in elementary we always playing tinilkling after school :) I miss my country ;(

nice version ! greetings from taguig city, the philippines !

I like it! Filipinos go all over the world, particularly America, and bring parts of other culture back home and make it Pinoy. In this case Pinoy culture is being "Americanized". It's a fun reversal. Embrace it!

All I can say is "WOW"

We did this too in Louisiana in the 60s at elementary school. Fun, but a bit dangerous on ankles and fingertips!

EXCELLENT JOB GUYS... INNOVATION OF TINIKLING DANCE :-)

Fantastic! so cool. props to the clappers!

love it to watch!!!!From the Netherlands!!!!

You guys need to go on the Ellen Degeneres show! That was amazing!

This kind of dancing is a whole lost of fun. You just want to remember to have your foot out of the 3rd beat. Friend of mind got her ankle broken by a misstep.

Great job guys.. i wish you had a better stage to showcase your hard work.. Its so heartwarming when young people put their ideas into good use and work for it..God bless you.

Tinikling with a twist...wow!!! :)

I wonder how they a have the desire to dance my native philippine dance they looks likes more expert than us! Cheers guys.

I love this. Wish the video quality is better than 240p.

Wow...Being barefooted you are wonderfully connected to the Mother Earth.

amazing twist i am filipino and it good...
