For those who are wandering why they all wearing the same converse shoes,it was donated by converse Philippines.

Why all the hate.......This keeps the prisoners minds occupied on something positive for a change. It shows them how to work with others in a team. Think of all the horrible things they could have been getting up to if they weren't doing something as good as this. This prison warden deserves recognition for allowing this and for getting the prisoners involved in something like this that in my opinion can only have a great outcome. They're all actually really good dancers as well and they're all dancing in perfect sync with each other. Well done inmates! Other prisons around the world could learn a lot from something like this.

To all haters out there. This is a rehabilitation activity for inmates. These inmates are in jail 24/7 so this will help them physically and mentally active and healthy. It also promotes discipline.

Dancing as exercise/ daily routine and therapy should be introduced around the world. It is effective in keeping inmates positively occupied as well as radiating positive energy to the dreary, boring, numbing environment of incarceration

They should really introduce this in the US and Canada, worldwide for that matter..

I really want to see them perform one day, this is so mesmerising. Humans can really accomplish incredible things if they use their capabilities in a good way.

the guy at the front with the mohawk looks like he his having so much fun and enjoying it. lol

these are asian prisoners dancing in the pouring down rai., and they're still better than me.

Everywhere in the Philippines knows the word fun

I was here 2 times to watch them perform LIVE... it was a good experience... we even had our picture taken with them.... They are not as dangerous as what others think.. they like their FAME.

Hats off to them for doing it in the rain! 💪👍

i dont know why..but im crying saw them :'D

i admire their dedication & commitment in continuing their dance show even w/ heavy rains...very much appreciated w/ their efforts...a good way of relieving their stressful life in prison...it shows unity & relaxation as they express themselves through dance...

This is a good thing. This way,those people will be able to focus on other things in life, insted of beating people and being on drugs.

I'd been to this place and seen them personally, I am proud of them. Everyone can visit and watch them personally you just need to go to Cebu..It's a tourist attraction..

This wants me to go to the Phillipines and get arrested

music and dance is always good for the soul.....

performing in the rain - good on you inmates!

Fights in this this prison: "that's it! I challenge you to a dance-off!”

how to rebab prisoners level: Asian

OMFG i found myself clapping at the end, this was the best one yet. I have to go to cebu to see this live one day

I have made my choice. I'm moving to the Philippines,

This is the best performance that I've ever seen, including Flash Mob dance!!!!

Filipinos are very talented people! Undoubtedly

and they filmed it in the rain, makes it more awesome

raining 🌧 and they still dance, that dedication right there folks! 👌

This makes make happy. And the way it had the lot of them moving from the back to the front looked awesome there at the end.

i can't but shed my tears to these people.. despite the rain and all they put up a awesomegasmic perf. i hope nobody get sick after the hardwork..

WOW! This is an amazing piece of choreography! I can't even imagine how hard everyone worked to bring this together. Definitely impressive.

This is awesome! They are so in to this. Great activity for them!

Super-Duper WOW. Love it, Love it, LOVE IT!

is good to know that people who engaged in unlawful things now engaged in the choreography ... Congratulations to the organizers of this fabulous event

I feel bad that they have to dance in the rain, but damn do they look good! Lots of energy there

I love their dedication to dance even in the rain for visitors.

Just freaking amazing ♡

Totally Awesome!!! Couldn't help but smile as i watched this.....

It's more fun in jail in the Philippines!😂😜 Good job guys!👍

I totaly love this, it is so great what they make💓

brb committing crimes in philipines to be part of this :{D

awesome!

THUMBS UP! BRAVO!!!!

so good ~!

I'm having goose bumps here

This is why i liked being a Filipino. Inspite of being incarcerated being given the chance they still find the true meaning of happiness and strive to do more rather than suffer loneliness and be miserable.

grabe super like., habang pinapanood ko kinikalibutan ako..two thumns up para sa mga inmates..super galing...

very nice soo love it

this is awesome..of a wife to a officer i think he would agree that doing this once in awhile with them all would be great teach them to be kind to each other, have fun, dance your heart out with of course consequences to anyone starting shit..i tried to dance to this song multiple times lol i think it'd be fun to have a group of people to do this song with!!

And it's RAINING in the video....people still want to DANCE!

lol then a riot breaks out hahaha

I love it !!!!!

WOW! awesome! i cried at the last part. parang flashmob lang. nakakatuwang makita na ganito sila. sandaling nakakalimutan na nasa kulungan sila. :)

Only in philippines

I remember watching the dancing inmates and seeing them all over the news nine years ago. Looking back at the events now and recollecting the memories that happened, all I could pinpoint was how entertained and amused everyone was at the unusualness of the dancing prisoners, and the Filipinos took a lot of pride of this new program. Therefore, even as I look into the details today, all the articles that involve the dancing inmates were celebrations of how much the public admired the program and the choreographer’s “art.” However, I believe that there is something that no one has brought attention to, which is the prison labor associated with the program. Due to the merchandising of the dancing inmates and their popularity across all section of the social media world, I argue that the prisoners turned into a brand and the program took the public’s response as means for commercialization. I think that although the program was successful in publicizing and making the dancing inmates popular, they failed in helping prisoners re-enter society because regardless of their big part in the program, they were not treated as performers but as products. By bringing up this issue, do you believe that the program truly helped the prisoners and the facility by decreasing the crime rate inside the rehabilitation? I would further this discussion by stating that although the main claim of the program was to reduce gang violence, there was no logistical evidence such as statistics that prove their claim except for mentioning that the prisoners are supposedly “happier.” Did the CPDRC use the title of the "dancing inmates" beyond just a dance program and more as a product label?

It is amazing to see that a few minutes of grace and joy, can erase the exterior of an inmate! The world needs love and dance!

thank you for this video.. we have faith for humanity

yo yo yo world. I say, everyone in the world needs to do this at the same time on new years day 2017. whose with me????
