Livin' the dream...Part 1

One of my pending blogs...anyway

The Makati Dance Troupe had the honor and privilege to dance with the hottest dance crew in the country, 2-time World Hip-hop Champs - The Philippine All-Stars.

It was October last year when I first found out that the All-Stars was invited to perform at our '08 Xmas Party. Aidi and I got excited, and then suddenly the thought of performing with them in a short dance number would definitely excite everyone, maybe there could be a possibility. And so I cut to the chase and asked this unbelievably, out of this world question.
L.A: "Can we do a number with them?kahit short lang..kahit kami lang ang pang-intro...tas sila na all the way...Pwede?" I said that with a Grinch like smile on my face (with matching beautiful eyes pa...no JOKE lang...lol).

Surely we would want to dance with Streetboys, if we can do a cartwheel why not. And of course maybe we can rock the dance floor with Maneuvers, I'm sure we can do the ChooChoo Train naman...again why not? They are our inspiration! These dance groups have always been the big influence not just to us but to those aspiring dancers out there.

And so, December 8, 2008, the stage was set, for a showdown, we the dance troupe will never forget. It was the time of our lives, -- t'was like livin' our dream.

Here's a photo during the showdown:

Sorry the video is still under the process of editing and for some reason I am having a hard time uploading it...but here's the picture of us with the Philippine All-Stars right after the showdown.



Trivia: The Makati Dance Troupe started last August of 2005. Formally launched at the 2005 White Xmas Party @ the NBC Tent. Performed I Believe by Yolanda Adams. The Troupe was invited at the 2006 CCAP Battle of the Bands. We started out as 20 to be exact. And now the pioneers are just down to 8. That's Me, Aidi, Tina, Joena, Mary, Jay, and Egi and Pepper who are now in Commonwealth.

I miss Egi and Pepper, any chance of dancing with them again, will be another dream come true. It would be like a renuion ey?
