The Universal Motion Dancers, or UMD, emerged from the vibrant atmosphere of one of the Philippine television’s most classic variety shows, “That’s Entertainment.” Initially starting as backup dancers, the members of UMD banded together in 1991, carving out a niche that would see them become household names. What set UMD apart was not just their cohesive dance routines but their ability to capture the spirit of the times, making street dance not just a form of entertainment but a cultural movement.

UMD is synonymous with the ’90s, a time when dance music and street dance began dominating the airwaves and television screens across the Philippines. The group became known for their unique take on popular songs, turning them into dance anthems that resonated with the youth. Tracks like “Always” by Erasure, “Stars” by Simply Red, “Dying Inside to Hold You” by Timmy Thomas, “How Gee” by Black Machine, and “Close To You” by Whigfield, were immortalized through UMD’s electrifying performances. These songs, paired with UMD’s innovative choreography, became the soundtrack of an era.

The Moves That Moved a Nation

Perhaps no other dance step is as emblematic of UMD’s influence as the Butterfly dance. A symbol of the group’s creativity and flair, the Butterfly became more than just a dance move; it was a cultural phenomenon that swept across the nation, inspiring countless Filipinos to dance with joy and abandon. UMD’s ability to create such iconic movements underscored their role as pioneers of street dance in the Philippines, inspiring future generations to embrace dance as a form of expression.
