Teacher Georcelle impart lessons in ‘The Force Within’
What do superstars Sarah Geronimo, Anne Curtis, James Reid, and Gary Valenciano, to name just a few, have in common? They’ve all worked extensively with Teacher Georcelle, the country’s foremost choreographer/mentor. And they’ve become even better performers from it.
That’s because Teacher G, as she is fondly called, goes beyond dance. She is about focus, passion, inspiration, commitment, and drive that bring out the best in her students and mentees.
And for the first time in her illustrious decades-long career she is sharing to everyone the lessons she has learned on and off the stage.
The Founder and Artistic Director of G-Force, one of the country’s top dance groups, has unleashed The Force Within, her first book. “Because I love to teach, I am sharing with you eight lessons in resilience, patience, passion, professionalism, and grit,” she writes in the book’s Introduction. She adds later on, “Dance isn’t just about moving to the music, it’s a discipline…a commitment…a new way of thinking.”
Readers of this book will find numerous anecdotes about how Teacher Georcelle’s love for performing opened up a lot of opportunities for her. At 14, she became the youngest member of the Adrenalin dance company that regularly performed on The Sharon Cuneta Show. At 16, she had her first big break to choreograph. She recalls how the task did not go easily at first, but she did not let herself be disheartened. Instead, she kept welcoming the challenges thrown her way. “By saying yes, I am opening myself to new possibilities and experiences. By saying yes, I am taking the road to growth and improvement.”
True enough, her fearless and positive attitude moved her career even further. In the book, she also talks about how she became the in-house trainer of the artists of ABS-CBN Talent Center. To this day, she has the full confidence of the network, and her dance group G-Force is able to showcase and impart its dance prowess in shows like ASAP and other major productions of ABS-CBN.
The eight-chapter book features stories of Teacher Georcelle’s working endeavors with stars like Sarah Geronimo, Anne Curtis, James Reid, and Gary Valenciano, to name a few.
