Are you ready for this?
Drums roll, feet stomp to the rhythm, and hearts pound as MegaEvents Manila, in line with its 10th anniversary, brings you the latest installment of the hottest dance craze in town – Maximum Groovity Year 5!
Just like previous years, the 2009 competition will bring the most talented dance groups from the top universities in the Metro competing for the top prize. Get ready to be blown away by a showcase of talents in various forms of dancing – hiphop, jazz, ballet, or a fusion of different styles. The contest will be held on September 26, 2009 in Crossroad Convenarium at Crossroad 77 Mo. Ignacia St., Quezon City. Cash prizes and bragging rights await the winners; and a night of spectacular show, music, and excitement await the audience. This is the fifth Maximum Groovity competition, and promises an even better, bigger, and bolder event!
This groundbreaking contest was launched on 2004, with 15 dance troupes from different colleges and universities competing. UP Filipiniana of University of the Philippines – Diliman emerged as the winner for their grand theatrical dance piece. Miriam College’s Company of One, doing a hiphop routine and UP Diliman’s Dansa, performing a jazz dance, bagged the 1st and 2nd runner-up trophies respectively. The premier dance guru Douglas Nierras (yes, The Douglas Nierras) was a member of the distinguished panel of judges.
The success of the first run was only exceeded by the second one in 2005, when a leading fitness center tied up with MegaEventsManila to present a grander event. The second year only featured hiphop, and the winner became the country’s official delegate for the World Hiphop Competition. ALL STARS came away as the winner of both Maximum Groovity and the World Hiphop Competition, and is now known both locally and internationally.
The third and fourth editions held in 2007 and 2008 went back to the original concept – an inter-school dance showdown showcasing different styles of dancing. In 2007 Douglas Nierras returned to the judging panel, joined by Jay Masta, a master in street and breakdancing. Ateneo’s CADS Street claimed the title for 2007. In 2008, various groups won different honors. UP Manila Indayog was the Sugarfree and Blue’s People’s Choice Award winner, while AMA Dance Troupe, La Salle Jazz Company, TIP QC Talents Guild were the runners-up. First-timer Ramon Magsaysay HS New Systems Dance Troupe, practically jumping off the stage, came away as the Champion.
This year’s event will reunite past winners, and competitors. Let us wait and see who brings “it” to the floor, and will have the claim as the Maximum Groovity Ultimate Grand Champion!
