Tekniqlingz

Tekniqlingz is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to strengthen cultural awareness and ethnic identity through education and the perpetuation of the Filipino culture in music, art, and dance.

Founded in the Spring of 2008 and incorporated as a 501(c)3 nonprofit in Fall of 2016, the Tekniqlingz came about through the Tinikling Filipino bamboo dance workshops held by the Katipunan Filipino Club of the University of Hawaii at Manoa.  They operate as a traditional and modern Filipino folk dance group which preserves and perpetuates the Filipino American youth culture through creative arts and entertainment. With its foundation based on modernizing traditional Philippine folk dances, the Tekniqlingz are a dance crew which seeks to inspire and influence new innovations to the world of hip-hop and dance.   They have opened for and shared stages with artists such as Filipino American comedians Augie T and Rex Naverette and performers such as Mikey Bustos and Apl. De.
