The Philippine flag was waved proudly once again as UPeepz, one of the country’s delegates, was declared back-to-back champions at the recently concluded World Hip Hop Dance Championship this year. The competition to determine the world’s best hip hop dancers was held at Phoenix, Arizona and the results for the final round were announced last Sunday, Manila time. The group won top spot in the megacrew division with a score of 8.33. They are followed by Da’ Republik from Dominican Republic with a score of 8.08 and another PH delegate, Legit Status, placing third with a score of 7.99.
