This morning, we will be able to interview the President of the Philippine Dance Force Federation,
00:06
the beautiful Ms. Becky Garcia, live via Zoom.
00:08
Good morning.
00:12
Good morning, Mech. Good morning, Raph.
00:15
Ms. Becky, good morning and happy new year.
00:19
Happy new year to you.
00:20
We just want to ask, how are you going to celebrate the new year?
00:26
It's okay. As usual, I'm happy.
00:30
I'm sure, Ms. Becky, you're very busy this new year.
00:35
Yeah. This coming year, we will be very busy.
00:40
Ms. Becky, just give us a background for our sports fan who is not familiar with dance sport.
00:47
What is dance sport?
00:50
Dance sport? Yes.
00:53
Well, dance sport is a sport.
00:57
You dance as a sport.
01:01
We have two kinds of discipline in dance sport, the Latin and the standard.
01:08
The Latin, we have five dances, which is cha-cha-cha, samba, rumba.
01:18
What's that?
01:20
I forgot.
01:22
And then, the standard, we have rolls, tango, foxtrot, quickstep.
01:28
Ms. Becky, breaking is also included here, right?
01:30
Yes.
01:32
We also have breaking.
01:36
Ah, yes. Breaking. Yeah.
01:38
Breaking is already in the Olympics.
01:40
Yes.
01:42
Ms. Becky, as you mentioned earlier,
01:44
2025 will be the year of breaking.
01:48
2025 will be a very busy year for you.
01:52
So, what are the competitions that we will look forward to in 2025?
01:58
Right now, we are busy with the grassroots program.
02:00
We are going to all the provinces to develop dance sport.
02:08
We are teaching the kids in grassroots also.
02:10
We are all the chapters all over the Philippines.
02:15
They have their own competition.
02:17
They want to organize their own competition.
02:19
The last one was in Dumaguete.
02:21
So, all the chapters now all over the Philippines,
02:23
they form their own competitions.
02:25
We encourage them because there are a lot.
02:27
We have now 2,000 members.
02:29
And we have chapters all over the Philippines.
02:31
Ms. Becky, you spoke about your grassroots program.
02:33
When it comes to finding new talent,
02:35
what do you look for?
02:37
Are there any signs or potential great dance sport athletes?
02:39
What do you look for?
02:41
You spoke about your grassroots program and recruiting new talent.
02:47
May I just ask, when it comes to finding new talent, what are you looking for?
02:53
What are the signs of a potential great dance sport athlete?
03:02
You can see the inborn talent of young people.
03:06
They like to dance.
03:08
They already have the talent for dancing.
03:13
So we develop them.
03:15
Those who are really interested to join dance sports,
03:19
you can see when they start dancing, you can see the talent.
03:26
A lot of hidden talents, especially the kids.
03:31
We have now more than a thousand kids.
03:35
Ms. Becky, last week, we interviewed a coach, a local coach from Laguna.
03:44
He said that they want to spread dance sports in their province, in their area.
03:52
What is included in your grassroots program
03:56
to help those who are interested to enter the world of dance sports?
04:03
When we organize courses before the competition,
04:12
they have congress seminars.
04:15
It is done by our top coaches.
04:18
Sometimes we also bring in foreign coaches to teach.
04:23
So they can see how it is done.
04:31
So we bring in also foreign coaches to teach.
04:36
We have seminars, we have congresses.
04:39
We do that.
04:41
All the chapters, they organize.
04:43
Before a competition, we organize a congress or a seminar.
04:51
All the members of that organization, we ask them to participate.
04:58
That's how they do it.
05:01
Whenever I watch our dance sports tournaments,
05:06
I'm just so amazed how good these children are in terms of dance sports.
05:10
What is the state of this sport in our country?
05:18
We have a lot of kids.
05:20
Actually, Cebu has the biggest number of kids.
05:24
All the chapters in the provinces have a lot of kids.
05:28
In fact, the last competition we had, we had about 1,000 kids competing.
05:35
That's a lot.
05:37
You should watch our next competition.
05:40
It will be in March.
05:42
We have a national competition at the Ultra.
05:46
We have almost like 1,000 kids.
05:49
They are so good.
05:51
They come from the provinces.
05:54
Because we have also very good coaches.
05:57
We have coaches.
05:59
We send them to the provinces.
06:02
That's how we do it.
06:04
Speaking of our event in March, what is the difference here?
06:08
What can our dance sports fans expect?
06:13
It's a national competition.
06:15
We call it a quarterly.
06:17
The dancers get points when they compete.
06:22
The top competitors get points.
06:27
When their points increase, they are sent abroad.
06:33
They get a lot of benefits.
06:41
Do you have specific athletes whose points increase
06:46
and it's possible that they will be sent abroad in this competition?
06:52
Yes, we send them abroad.
06:54
There are a lot of competitions abroad.
06:58
We choose where they will go.
07:03
Because I want them to be known internationally.
07:06
In fact, the Philippine dance sport is already very popular abroad.
07:11
Because we send all our competitors abroad.
07:15
In fact, one of the foreign judges texted me and said,
07:22
your couple did a very good showing in our competition.
07:27
This was abroad.
07:30
Our dancers are already very good.
07:36
Ms. Becky, our dancers are already very good in the dance sport.
07:39
With this upcoming national selection,
07:42
some notable names are Sean Aranor and Ann Anuaglia.
07:45
Will they still compete for the national selection?
07:48
Yes, of course. They have to.
07:51
Because they have to get points also.
07:55
We have six top couples in our national team.
08:02
We have six of them.
08:04
They have to maintain that.
08:07
They have to maintain their status.
08:10
If they don't compete, they will lose points.
08:17
Ms. Becky, apart from Ann Anuaglia and Sean Aranor,
08:21
are there any other promising athletes who can be included in the national team?
08:25
There are a lot, especially from the provinces.
08:28
There are also a lot from Mindanao and Visayas.
08:33
They are very good.
08:35
These are hidden talents.
08:38
We only see them during competitions.
08:43
We are getting a lot of new materials.
08:50
Ms. Becky, you mentioned earlier that there are a lot of hidden talents,
08:55
hidden gems here in Visayas and Mindanao.
08:59
For 2025, are you making a conscious effort on your part
09:04
to make those areas more attractive?
09:07
Yes, we will be doing that.
09:10
In fact, the chapters in the provinces,
09:15
they also hold their own competitions.
09:18
So, we want them to hold their own competitions
09:23
so that a lot of people from the provinces can compete.
09:27
Sometimes, some of them cannot come to Manila to join the national team.
09:32
So, they can do their own competitions in their own provinces.
09:38
Ms. Becky, you mentioned earlier that we are very popular abroad in terms of dance sports.
09:43
Are there any notable competitions that you are preparing for 2025?
09:48
We have the SEA Games.
09:52
We have a lot of competitions abroad.
09:57
For the international competitions, it depends.
10:01
If they send us notices that there is a competition abroad,
10:08
we choose it.
10:10
We don't just send it.
10:12
There are big competitions.
10:14
So, we choose where we will send them.
10:20
Ms. Becky, what is your general plan for 2025
10:26
in terms of how you will lead dance sports in the direction you want to go?
10:33
You know, we have three competitions a year.
10:37
We have the quarterly, and then we have all the national championships.
10:44
That's where we get all our materials.
10:47
If someone tops, then we get it from them.
10:50
We get them from the competition.
10:53
You will know who will do well.
10:57
Ms. Becky, aside from our grassroots programs,
11:04
and preparing for the international competitions,
11:08
are there other dance sports programs that we need to look forward to?
11:14
We always have our...
11:18
We have...
11:22
We have these courses.
11:29
We...
11:32
We hold...
11:33
We ask foreign coaches to come to teach.
11:38
You know, we have...
11:41
After the competition, foreign coaches teach.
11:47
Those who want to attend,
11:49
but we encourage all the dancers to attend the seminar,
11:54
the foreign coaches.
11:58
You know, conduct when they are here.
12:02
Ms. Becky, do you think that dance sports have a role
12:06
in strengthening the culture of Filipinos in terms of dancing?
12:12
What do you mean?
12:14
It showcased our cultural heritage as a dancer here in the Philippines.
12:20
Yeah.
12:21
Well...
12:24
Because...
12:29
Dancing is really inborn in the Filipinos.
12:32
That's why, in fact, we don't even encourage them.
12:37
They themselves join the workshops, competitions.
12:45
They are very...
12:50
They're so active.
12:51
You know, if you just see the competition,
12:54
a lot of people attend, a lot of people join.
12:58
Right now, we have thousands.
13:00
In fact, this March, we're expecting so many competitors.
13:06
So, 2025 is very exciting.
13:09
It's increasing.
13:12
Ms. Becky, your schedule for 2025 is very exciting.
13:16
But before we say goodbye,
13:18
what is your message to the fans and aspiring dance sports athletes?
13:29
Yeah.
13:30
You know what?
13:31
It's all dedication.
13:33
Discipline, dedication, and the love for dancing.
13:37
You have to have that passion for dancing.
13:39
Because if not, you will not want to dance.
13:44
Because our athletes, they really love to dance.
13:48
They have a passion for dancing.
13:51
That's what they have.
13:52
That's why they are winning.
13:55
