The Philippine All-Stars is a Filipino Hip-hop dance group from the Philippines and the pioneer of Pinoy Hip-hop.[1][2] They won the 2006 and 2008 World Hip Hop Dance Championships.[3] Hip-hop community regarded All-Star as one of the most jaw-dropping crews to have ever existed.[4][5]

They were formed in 2005 by twelve individuals that were working in the Manila underground Hip-hop scene.[6] They also joined the “Artists Revolution: 365 days to change” campaign which asks the Filipino voters to be more critical in choosing their political leaders in the coming 2010 elections.[7] This group set the high standard of dancing in the Philippines and gave the young dancers hope and inspirations.

History

The Philippine Allstars was started in 2005 by twelve friends who wanted to collectively represent their country in the World Hip-Hop Championships held in the US. That year after taking first in the Maximum Groovity II, National Hip-Hop Open, they proudly placed sixth in the world.[citation needed]

In 2006, Allstars put the Philippines on the map of Hip-hop dance in becoming the first Asian country to win back-to-back World Gold titles in the International Hip-hop Open d’Ítalia in Turin, Italy and in the World Hip-Hop Dance Championships in Los Angeles, California.[8] The next year, the group took Bronze in the same competition and also won Team of the Year from V.Ent's First Annual Dance Awards.[citation needed]

In 2008, they came back strong again and took Gold with their 2008 iconic and legendary routine in the World Hip-Hop Dance Championships held in Las Vegas.[citation needed] They also won the Grand Champion in the Malta Guinness Street Dance Competition, Kenya, Africa, and in the same year won 1st Runner Up, UDO World Street Dancing Championships, Blackpoll, United Kingdom.[citation needed]

In February 2010, they opened their first dance school, the Allstars Dance School, located in San Juan city Philippines.[citation needed]
