For some time now the GC1 has been buzzing—

That’s every summer time when classes start ceasing…

It’s FUN TIME for kids and adults alike,

Found that a gracious MOM do dance — ‘twas a surprise!2

 

 

 

 

The HIPHOP3 culture has invaded us all,

At the 2014 WHHI 4 , a Russian dancer made a call;

He encouraged the audience to learn  HIPHOP,

He even boasted that his MOM has learned a LOT!

 

 

 

 

In the US of A, HIPHOP has been PRAISED,

“It’s now the center of mega music & fashion industry”, State Dept. SAID;

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC for its part, it PRINTED…

“It’s world’s favorite culture…”,  it proudly NOTED!

 

 

 

 

Martha Graham5  wrote: “the essence of dance is the expression of man—“,

Even added: “’tis the landscape of  soul…”, with much elan—

Indeed, dancing is helpful exercising,

It improves the heart’s and lungs’ via

such conditioning!

 

 

 

 

Dancing increases aerobic fitness as well as muscle tone,

It even reduces osteoporosis & enhances coordination;

Thus, let’s all propagate this dance culture,

It swept all strata from the poor to those dressed in haute couture!

 

 

 

 

And so starting April 17, of this year—

HIPHOP dancing will be the focus; ‘tis not dear;

At the GROOVE CENTRAL in Barangay Socorro,

Enrollment is going on; reservation is okey too!

 

 

 

You can enroll at Coach VIMI’s6 class,

That’s the BASIC or the INTERMEDIATE, as well as the ADVANCE class–

VIMI’s Varsity Team of the LEGIT STATUS name,

Snatched SILVER at 2015 WHHI, it brought much FAME!

Another skilled HIPHOP Coach is that who’s called VON,7

He’s really a BONO in French it’s CES’T SI BON;

His HIPHOP classes are the HOUSE & HOODZ styles,

You’d truly love them as VON dances with a smile!

CHIPS BELTRAN8 too is a coach who’s so SASSY,

He’s HEAD COACH of UPEEPZ, that won in Sydney at AUSSIE;

He’ll truly entertain you with much of his VERVE,

And all his students would never go unnerved!

Or enlist with Coach MJ ARDA9 of the A TEAM,

Whose style is truly EXCELLENT and CLEAN;

As the A TEAM really is so much force and passion,

Surely, it could bring much… more laurels to our nation!

 

 

 

Your toddler can list up for BALLET,

That’s with Coach TINA10 and my kid ALEE11;

…Or those KIDS who want to dance for a start,

Coach CHESKA12 could put them on the right track!

 

 

JJ GUSTILO13 on the other hand teaches NEWSKOOL,

A brand of HIPHOP which really is COOL;

And JJ is the Head Coach of the ALLIANCE14 Team,

The RP Team which bagged BRONZE, with much esteem!   

 

 

 

 

You can learn under Coach SHAYNA15, ‘tis TRUE,

Her DANCE CLASS is named PROJECT GROOVE—

And in the end– will meet at Fort AGUINALDO16,

That will be the much-awaited RECITAL with much HULLABALOO!

 

 

CHEERS and GOD BLESS unto the GROOVE CENTRAL DANCE STUDIO!!!!

[Legend: 1 – GC is the acronym for the GROOVE CENTRAL DANCE STUDIO located at No. 104 13th Avenue, Barangay Socorro, Cubao, Quezon City, Metro-Manila.
2 – I actually got surprised to see my friend, Ms. IDA TIONGSON, who is an executive and business consultant of the Lucio Tan Group of Companies. We chanced upon each other at the GC Dance Studio one day while she did a dance training while I checked on my daughters: Shayna, Cheska and Alee who are dance coaches thereat. I just then realized that HIPHOP dancing was IDA’s secret for her innate aura of elan, agility, flair, confidence and éclat.
3 – Hip hop is a subculture and art movement developed by African-Americans from the South Bronx in New York City in the late 1970s. While people unfamiliar with hip hop culture sometimes use the expression “hip hop” to refer exclusively to hip hop music, hip hop is characterized by anywhere from four to nine distinct elements or expressive realms, of which hip hop music as well as hip hop dance are the principal elements. Indeed, it brings pride to all of us Filipinos that our Philippine hiphop dance teams are beating even the Americans (from where it originated actually n New York City, USA) in HIPHOP dancing.
4 – WHHI is acronym for WORLD HIPHOP INTERNATIONAL CONTEST. Thus, at the World Hiphop International Contest held in Las Vegas, USA in August 2014 (which was attended by me and my whole family), the team captain of the RUSSIAN Hiphop Team, who was about in his early 20s;  announced on stage during the FINALS, that his mother was into HIPHOP dancing also as he called upon the audience to learn HIPHOP too.
