It's the first time for me to see the hub dances of different countries … Hub dance is … expressing different diversity like the culture, the music that they use … I noticed, for example, the Philippines hub dance … was composed of different culture[s], for example the Muslims, the Christians and the modern Filipino[s]. I'm so very proud that I am part of that, dancing with … the different hub dances. (‘Ben’, Philippines)

Similarly, another participant explained how the Filipino dance ‘feels Filipino’ in a way that embraces heterogeneity at the national level, saying this was

You have also to give space. (‘Jason’, Philippines)
