Dance to Represent: Philippine Dance Delight vol. 1

Overall, the dances were energetic, athletic, strong, radical, theatrical and creatively put together. These were just some of the 24 dance crews that gave an impression on me.

  • Exquizyth – First to perform in the whole competition and they were able to set the bar high with their athleticism. (stunts, tumblings, layouts and bboy-ish moves) Ranked 7th.
  • X3 – A group of Xavier High School Alumni and former Dance X members performed a comical number. Ranked  6th
  • Team Vibe – A personal favorite of mine, ranked 10th. I hail this team for intricate choreography, commendable execution and technique.
  • 2 Thumbs Up- L.A. style couplet dance. Ranked 13th.

  • NDCQC – Ranked 2nd for a unique dance of hip hop fused with the flowy and detailed movements of Filipino folk dance. 

 

Slide06

 

  • iPM – Although part of the bottom two of the whole batch,presented a robotic dance with isolations and managed to entertain the crowd.
  • Kinection – Ranked 8th, a dance crew to watch out for. They’re powerful, clean and full of swag. 
  • PFS Lockers – 14th, the only group who took Locking and Popping to a whole new level. Old school vibes.

  • Hybrids of Freedom – Ranked 3rd for their Legitimate Krump number. Highly controlled yet explosive steps were very noteworthy.
