Press release: Pinoy kids dance their way to the top in ABS-CBN’s “Dance Kids” beginning Saturday
Filipinos have proven time and again to be exceptional singers and actors. But this November, kids will show that Filipinos are a force to reckon with when it comes to dancing in its newest talent reality search “Dance Kids,” which begins on November 14 on ABS-CBN.
Watch different acts dance to achieve their dreams and share their stories of inspiration in Philippine TV’s first-ever dance competition for kids, which will be hosted by Robi Domingo and Alex Gonzaga.
In the program, solo, duo, and group acts four to 12 years old will showcase their dance ability. A total of 60 acts will face the tryouts and will be divided into two teams, to be led by two dance celebrities.
In the tryouts, the acts will have to face the Dance Masters Georcelle Dapat-Sy, Andy Alviz, and Vhong Navarro, some of the most respected names in dance in Philippine entertainment. To get through the round, an act has to make the three Dance Masters “stomp.”
Get to know the kids who will impress Teacher Georcelle, who started dancing in TV programs when she was just 14 years old. She later joined dance group Hotlegs, but gained more prominence as the founder and head of G-Force, a group that performs with the most successful artists in the industry. Teacher Georcelle currently serves as the dance mentor of musical competition “Your Face Sounds Familiar.”
Joining her is Andy, a veteran choreographer, artistic director, and musician who served as resident choreographer for the local productions of musicals “Miss Saigon” and “Urinetown,” as well as for ABS-CBN shows such as “’Sang Linggo nAPO Sila” and “ASAP.” Aside from that, he also established Whiplash Dance Company, one of the most prominent jazz dance groups in the country. Andy is also known for directing and producing musicals and albums that aim to promote the culture of Pampanga, where he came from.
Vhong, meanwhile, considers dancing his first love that introduced him to showbiz. Before becoming an actor, comedian, and host, Vhong made a name for himself as a member of group Streetboys. And in “Dance Kids,” he is excited to share his knowledge and experience with the dance artists.
