Skechers Streetdance Battle celebrates ten glorious years of street
dance supremacy. In honor of the champions, global leading brand Skechers hosted an exhilarating homecoming
party to celebrate a decade of dance in a night filled with crazy dance moves.
Transforming
Black Market into a cornucopia of dance frenzy last November 14, Skechers
invited the winners of the renowned street dance competition. The past ten
years saw the crews UP Streetdance Club, La Salle Dance Company Street, Company
of Ateneo Dancers, Miriam HS Sayawatha, Xavier School Dance X, St Mark’s
Institute Campus Image Revolve, Claret Hataw, LSGH Airforce, St. Paul College
Terpischore, and St Pedro Poveda Enciende as champions for the college and high
school division.
Back
in 2005, the Skechers Streetdance Battle staged its first dance competition and
looking back, it hasachieved a milestone— it created a generation of champions
that strived to reach their limitless potential on and off the dance floor. World
of Dance director Vimi Rivera traces his dancing roots to the very first Skechers
Streetdance Battle competition. He recounts: “It was really the competition to
win every year. It truly made me focus on my craft”.
Lianna
Martinez, Company Manager of the La Salle Dance Company – Street, 4-time
college division champions, shares how the Skechers Streetdance Battle has
created a positive impact for their group. Martinez says that “the Skechers
Streetdance Battle molded our members to become better performers and it has
kept the fire for our passion burning along the way.”
The homecoming
party was an electrifying reunion for the champs, meeting the old and new teams
who all share a great love for dance. Joining the dance floor were celebrities
Claire Ruiz, Elisse Joson, and Jacob Benedicto, model Clara Pettersen, and
fashion blogger Raiza Poquiz. The A Team,
a Filipino dance crew that has won international competitions, was also
introduced as the new Skechers ambassador. A-Team founder and head coach Lyka
Arda, also an Skechers Streetdance Battle alumna, shares that “every year, we
look forward to competing in the Skechers Streetdance Battle. It set the
standard for the dance competitions that we have right now.”
Perfect
for a night of good dancing, the Skechers
Burst and the Skechers GO Flex took
center stage as the latest Skechers lines of footwear. Party goers got an
exclusive look of the newest Skechers Burst with its combo of athletic style
and all-around comfort that match anybody’s upbeat energies. Its eye-catching
designs perfected by the soft Air-Cooled Memory Foam Insole make the Skechers
Burst the choice footwear on the dance floor. The Skechers GO Flex stood out as
it offered users the experience of ‘Flex
Ability’ with its innovative, segmented outsole design that makes it the
“shoe that moves with you”.
Reminiscing
a decade of passion and love for the dancefloor, Skechers proudly marks its
legacy of celebrating pure talent and street style. Skechers Homecoming host and
Skechers Streetdance Battle alumnus Reflex Gotangco affirms that the competition
“has brought the dance community together and has pushed the level of dancing
higher”. The contest alumni are one with Skechers as they toast to the
inter-school dance contest that started it all, the Skechers Streetdance
Battle.
