Filipino teen dance troupe Junior New System has taken Asia’s Got Talent (AGT)t by storm with their energy-filled and electrifying performance.
Comprised of young students aged between 16 and 23 from Sampaloc, Manila, the hiphop dance group definitely wowed the audience and received a standing ovation from all the four judges in the AXN reality show competition.
It is the group’s first time to participate in an international competition yet they have already taken home several awards in the Philippines, including the “Sayaw Pinoy” tilt by National Commission for Culture and the Arts.
Their multi-genre choreography earned them a slot in the semifinals. Other confirmed Filipino semifinalists include classical singer Gerphil Geraldine Flores, acrobat performers The Velasco Brothers, 10-year-old singer Gwyneth Dorado, shadow play performer El Gamma Penumbra.
In a previous interview with Manila Bulletin, the artistic director of the group Marcial Visda revealed the group’s probable secret weapon.
“Siguro kasi bata sila na talagang kung gumalaw ay matatanda,” he said.
Probably because they are kids who move like grown-ups.
