Hip-Hop Dance Association (HHDA), in partnership with dance directors and studios across the nation, present "Compassion Philippines," a nationwide dance workshop raising money to benefit the survivors of Typhoon Haiyan, the largest typhoon ever measured.
 
This dance workshop occurred on the weekend of December 20th, 2013, spanning from coast to coast. From San Diego all the way to Boston, this workshop gathered some of the community's best choreographers to make an online "flashmob" to one song. Upon completion of teaching their choreography, the choreographers blocked each piece and filmed it. These clips have all been compiled into one video with hopes to raise awareness and encourage those who see it to donate to the typhoon victims in whatever way possible.
 
"Sumasayaw para sa Pilipinas."
We dance for the Philippines.
 
Flashmob Choreographers (in order of appearance):
 
Sacramento: Janae Rosebud, Royce Legaspi, Rich Pasalo
San Francisco: Rocko Luciano, TJ Andaya, Suzette Sagisi
