Philippine All-Stars as the name suggests, this group shone the brightest among many other dance groups in their era, the crew which was formed by only 12 individuals in the Underground Hip-hop scene turned out to be one of the most decorated dance groups in the history of Philippine Dance Community. The group attained the peak of their success when they successfully conquered the World Hip-hop Dance Championship in 2006.

The All-Stars didn’t just grab the country’s first World Championship, they also put the Philippines on the map of Hip-hop along with several other heavyweight countries such as New Zealand, Japan and the USA. However, the group encountered a minor setback as they failed to capture the elusive back-to-back championship in 2007, despite that, the elite group stayed composed and hungry to get the crown back to our motherland. In 2008 they managed to retrieve their rightful throne as they performed one of their most iconic routines, which are highly focused on solid choreography and unimaginable stunts. The group’s swag and pinpoint precision along with their perfect coordination made them the 2008 World Champions.
