The Red Bull Dance Your Style Cebu Qualifiers has been nothing short of spectacular! The energy in the venue was electrifying as dancers from all over Cebu showcased their incredible talent and passion for dance. The Red Bull Dance Your Style competition truly lived up to its name, with each dancer bringing their unique style and flair to the stage.
Red Bull Dance Your
Style Philippines brings talent, skill, and unique moves to the stage for all
to witness. Having experienced pure talent dominate the stage leaves an
encouraging and inspiring note to the dancers and enthusiasts in the audience
that it could be them dancing on the stage one day. It was certainly that way
for a finalist of the Cebu Qualifiers, Taw.
As someone who’s
been an audience member in the first Red Bull Dance Your Style tournament, Taw
had always admired the dancers' performances from afar. His admiration
eventually led him to travel from Bacolod to Manila just to show support for the
first Red Bull Dance Your Style winner, Mickey. A year later, Taw decided to
take a leap of faith and participate in the next Red Bull Dance Your Style Cebu
Qualifiers.
When asked what his
practice regimen was like, Taw answered, “Lagi
ko pong minamaster yung mga basic foundation ng style ko. Yung hinihigitan ko
po yung mga vocabs ko then nag aaral ng mga panibagong sets/blowups. Laking
tulong po talaga yung pag training araw-araw.”
Despite having to
balance his work and his solo dance training, as well as not allowing himself
to slack off, Taw’s hard work, dedication, and confidence in himself and his
skills paid off, even landing him a spot as a regional finalist.
“Di ko inexpect na na-appreciate ng mga tao yung pinakita
kong rounds during the Cebu Qualifier. Kaya sobrang saya ko na isa ako sa mga
nakapasok sa National Finals. Hanggang ngayon hindi parin ako makapaniwala.” Taw shared after being asked what it felt like to get into the National
Finals.
While Taw’s story
is nothing short of inspirational, it’s not without its challenges,
particularly when it comes to financial constraints. According to him, his life
so far meant there are needs within his family that needed to be prioritized,
leaving little for himself and his creative endeavors. With a lot of support
from his friends and family, however, Taw was able to seek financial assistance
and aid, receiving sponsorships and donations from his friends and students.
Knowing that the
Red Bull Dance Your Style National Finals would be a fierce competition, Taw is
determined to triple his efforts in preparing for the competition. He
recognizes that, to stand out among the best dancers in the world, he needs to
push himself beyond his limits and elevate his skills to a whole new level.
Even with the tough
competition ahead, Taw is optimistic and leaves an encouraging message to
anyone looking for a sign to participate in future Red Bull Dance Your Style
qualifiers. “Sa mga gustong mag try
battle and matutong sumayaw wag po kayong kabahan. Lahat naman po ay may tamang
proseso. Invest your craft and learn your style kasi better na alam mo yung
ginagawa mo at yung sayaw mo. Lagi niyong isipin na lahat tayo ay nagsimula sa
hindi marunong. Kasi kung kinaya po namin, kaya nito rin ‘yan. Huwag matakot
sumubok, wala namang mawawala.”
Taw is set to be
one of 16 finalists competing at the National Finals this September 2. The champion of the National Finals will then advance
to the World Finals, representing the Philippines against the top dancers from
around the globe —the World Finals of Red Bull Dance Your Style in Germany in
November this year.
