New Dance Video On YouTube

After their widely popular 'Thriller' dance video attracted over 10 million on YouTube.com, inmates at a prison in Cebu, Philippines are at it again; this time with their dance number that will be performed during the Sinulog Festival honoring the baby Jesus on January 20.

The nine-minute dance number tells the story of how native Filipinos in Cebu were converted to Christianity by Spaniards. More than the showcasing the dancing abilities of the inmates, the Cebu government's security consultant uses dancing as a way of disciplining and in the process, rehabilitating the inmates--more than half of whom are serious crime offenders.
