Agreed.
I wonder why people keep bashing the winners with such horrendous grammar? don’t you guys realize that those three schools are the best in the country and you criticizing them with grammatically incorrect remarks will only make you look foolish?
I think it’s because UP’s choreography was more dynamic, and like La Salle, their execution was better than that of CADS. Sitting near the stage, I noticed that dancers from CADS botched a few flips. That, I think, is where they faltered. Had they nailed all their stunts, maybe they would’ve gotten a higher ranking.
That’s pretty obvious since they did out-ranked FEU who did their routine exceptionally.
On a different note, I have to admit that the exercise balls used by UP was a bit too gimmicky. I think they went overboard with that one.
The CADS piece this year was exceptional.It’s a shame that they did not nail some of their stunts. Despite that, there was only a 0.20 difference between CADS and LSDC.I assume that if they nailed their stunts, they would have scored higher than LSDC.
Hahaha. I just reviewed my post. (out-ranked?
Where is my mind?) Out rank, rather.
Anyway, I know what you mean, Susie. The quality of CAD’s routine this year is definitely praise-worthy. It’s just that they faltered in terms of execution.
Of course, I doubt that there is anything that can be done about that now. Under this particular circumstance, I consider UP’s victory over LSDC and CADS to be fair.
But take nothing away from the 2nd and 3rd placers. They did well. 
I hope they would again take it up a notch next year.
UP (kong mahal…) congratulations. Also, I would like to extend my admiration to La Salle, Ateneo, Claret and the rest of the participants. That was a wonderful show. Regardless of the negative things said in past posts, all your efforts yesterday would not be undone. For the sacrifices made in the name of our craft, I salute you all.
You have my respect.
Go CLARET WHOOOOOOOOOO!!! its our time to SHINE! Congrats to everyone that won and to all that participated and supported Skechers! sana may 6 PA!
college rankings please..
I think the result of the compet was fair. La Salle has an advantage of .27 (or .23?) points over CADS. It was really that small! Lasalle highlighted their routine with fast transitions paired with their fast paced music. UP’s choreography and energy was topnotch, though i do agree that the medicine ball part did not fit in to their routine. The highschool crews were amazing! Para silang hindi mga bata/binata/dalagita magsayaw =)
The entire show was truly exciting. I think its not fair i-label yun competition (or any particular group) as “pang noon-time show”. Hindi naman ganon kahirap ang dances sa noon time shows ah. No haters please, Christmas na =)
yeah i know what your saying man. but its is difficult to trust to sketchers nowadays bec competitors tried to prepare something new something fresh and something STREET style, but judges are hooked by old and simple choreogrphies BLINDED by stunts gimmicks and super strong moves (yet super simple) streetstyle is fresh, it is always new, everyday it change. The winners are not streetstyle, they are just strong, gimicky and full of stunts. they are winners but not for streetstyle competiotions. spare my engish guys but plz try to get the thought
Well WTF, with something as aesthetically erratic as street dancing, it is a bit hard. The more people try to narrow something down, the more it becomes hard to judge (technically speaking) especially if it’s a foreign style that most people here are not familiar of.
And if a competitor is more knowledgeable than the judges, that’s where it gets tougher because that certain competitor would not know where to go. Should s/he stick to the basics, stay safe and rely on “wow” factors or should s/he risk putting in styles that are new and might not go well with the judges.
I think the best way to go about it, should one wish to stand a chance, is to take UP’s path (albeit the exercise ball – as if I haven’t stressed that enough.) They have a little bit of everything in their routine, their transitions had a lot of effort and the routine was clean despite the fact that one of their dancers did drop the exercise ball.
But that’s just my opinion, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT.
And for the record, since this has been bothering me, I don’t think your thought was diluted. A person’s proficiency in a certain language should not be the primary basis for his or her intelligence. The problem with some people is that if they get offended or threatened by a comment, they tend to find different ways to counter attack. That, I think, makes a person look more dense and shallow than a person who can’t speak/write good English.
hey WTF, if by ‘old and simple choreographies’ you are referring to the UP StreetDance Club’s incorporation of the new jack swing in routine then you are gravely mistaken. no one ever said that streetdance is restricted to LA style, krumping, tutting or isolations. It’s a continually innovating type of dance. One thing you would notice about all of the UP StreetDance Club’s pieces for Skechers since its first year is their ability to adapt to emerging styles of dances. they never abide by what is “uso” instead they are able to create their own style. I’m from UP but I’m not a member of the organization. I just find it unfair that you call their style as ‘old and simple’ when they are so talented that they are able to make their own style. You said that other groups ‘prepare something new, something fresh and something STREET style’, are you an expert on streetdance that you are able to say that? Just so you know, all of the coaches of the teams, both in College nd HS categories, who won Skechers 5, except for CADs, are from the UP StreetDance Club’s The Crew. Go figure. Need I say more? And since I’m an English major from UP, I won’t spare your injustice to the language. Just write in Filipino because people wouldn’t mind, at least you’re fluent there.
Nice one Claret Hataw!!! You deserve to win, guys. =)) Galingan nyo pa. Congrats to other schools.
UPD again?!?!? tsk tsk grabe ang galeng ha. grabeeee!
always nga sinasabi ng ibang UPD Gods will make it happen all of this proud to be a product of UP street kahit d kami tga UP
nice perfomance adt.. kahit d place u deserve to be there
What do school do you think had a great performance last Nov 21?
Sayawatha of Miriam College or Terpsichore of St Paul Pasig?
i go for st. paul. yes ang lakas nila. miriam hindi ako masyado nagandahan eh.
Miriam’s Sayawatha. In terms of choreography, Miriam had a wealthier showcase of styles. In terms of execution, Miriam did better since they danced stronger and more as a group. And, in terms of impact, I remember Sayawatha’s routine more than that of Terpsichore and I can assure you it’s not because they performed twice because I could recall certain segments of their routine during the college phase while St.Paul’s just went by me.
Seriously, CARLOS. What’s the point of this question? The competition has been decided already and prior to the finals, somebody already asked a question somewhat parallel to this; I think that was you posting on a different thread.
Not that I’m attacking you or anything but I really don’t see any reason why these two teams should be brought to the fold and compared. Unless you could give a reason that might have escaped me, I can’t help but think suspiciously about this question–like you’re trying to start something out of thin air between Terpsichore and Sayawatha.
if ako ung tatanugin mo im go for st. paul…lakas ng routine nila
I’d have to say Sayawatha’s still the best girl dance troupe in the competition. If you see, Streetdance isn’t all about STUNTS. It’s all about DANCING.. Streetdancing and breakdancing in particular. If you guys noticed, 2 members of Terpsichore only join the routine for the stunts. I’m just really sad how people this days tend to ignore the choreography. And, I heard Sayawatha placed 4th. Congrats, girls!
I agree. I think that SAYAWATHA is the best all-girl group in the competition even if you include the college division. Last year, it was a bit iffy because I always thought it was a tight race between AGLAIA and SAYAWATHA. But this year, I’m pretty sure of it. Their routine may not be the cleanest but out of all the girl groups, theirs is the best. Aglaia’s routine this year might have been OK but their dancing was mostly out of sync. And their stunts, with the exception of that wheelbarrow front roll and that two-person egg roll, were ones that they have already given too much focus on before. Plus their choreography and their use of styles wasn’t very versatile. I wasn’t really wowed by them this year. They hardly gave anything new. And they don’t seem to dance as hard compared to last year.
Kelsey’s right. Aglaia’s been attacking Sayawatha ever since. Heard they’re already named as Aglaia 0.9 because they only lost to Sayawatha by 0.9!
To Aglaia, just wanna say, you don’t have to be bitter. You guys have skills and Sayawatha has their own.
And here’s the thing: AGLAIA “0.9″ was attacking SAYAWATHA because of the “biting” issue. While it was frowned upon, it just seems like an act of bitterness because that doesn’t even have anything to do with why AGLAIA lost in the first place. They didn’t lose because Sayawatha supposedly copied choreography during Skechers 4. They lost because Sayawatha’s synchronization and execution was better. For example, during year 4, the only awkwardly done stunt by Sayawatha was that assisted double pike (or whatever it’s called.) Aglaia on the other hand had a bad landing during the basket toss. They also weren’t synchronized during the neck-scissors and the other stunts.
In other words, it just felt as though they were calling out Sayawatha on the biting issue, during the elims, because they were looking for a more “solid” reason to bash them. That’s just sad considering that Aglaia is a very talented team. They didn’t need to resort to that. I think it was done in poor taste.
Hopefully Sayawatha isn’t doing anything to get revenge or something, but yeah. Good job, Sayawatha. I hope you girls won’t let your fans down.
Btw, anybody who knows the exact ranking for the HS division?
Actually, one of them already responded to the issue between them and Aglaia. She replied saying that they just ignored the whole thing since you cannot “correct a mistake by making another.” Now that is classy. That’s how you behave when you’re EDUCATED.
Wow. I hope Aglaia gets to read this and learn how to handle the issues MATURELY, like Sayawatha does.
Sheesh people, grow up! it’s a competition. That’s why you have judges and guidelines and that is how the teams are evaluated on. Stop bashing the winners just because you didn’t approve of the results. They still obviously worked their butts off with their routines so you shouldn’t take that from them.
CADS is a fave of mine but UP obviously worked overtime. If you watch the video, they covered a whole range of styles and technique: popping, locking, new jack, iso, commercial hiphop, trip hop and gymnastics. So what if they used exercise balls? They were giving a whole new slant to the regular passes and stunts that we see…that’s props for creativity.. So what if CADS failed to deliver their stunts? They we’re still awesome with their choreography. So what if Claret majored bigtime in stunts? They still danced their hearts out and the judges appreciated them. From a fellow dancer’s point of view, saying stuff like noontime show routine is way outta line.
Let’s not be blind to the fact that these groups obviously did their research and trained hard for the competition. Sana wag nating alisin yun sa winners ng HS and College. If you think you can do better, why don’t you compete yourself? Then you’ll realize it’s not as easy as being prissy in front of the computer and hurling baseless criticisms. Blaaaah…
Speak for yourself, SOCALBAGYO. If there is anyone who needs to grow up, perhaps it should be you?
Yes, I agree, we should respect their effort and if you could read our statements carefully, you can tell that some of us have done so. But if we TRULY respect someone for their work, we should be willing to share our honest opinion regarding it hoping that maybe we could help them in their growth.
Yes, I criticized UP on their use of exercise balls because I don’t think it fits in the overall theme or feel that they generated. I think it’s a random stunt and they still could’ve won without it. As for me saying that CADS didn’t nail their stunts, I said that NOT TO BASH THEM but to explain to a fellow reader as to why I think CADS didn’t win over UP.
There is a fine line between BASHING and CRITICIZING and I suggest that you learn that instead of bitching at those commenting here.
There is a place in this world for criticism. Are you saying that just because some of the readers here don’t SHOW their credentials in dance means that they do not have the right to speak? I can say the same about you.
We have the right to say what is on our mind as long as we do so with the best of intentions. Do not be so quick to judge. And if you can’t handle that SIMPLE FACT, then, again, PERHAPS IT IS YOU WHO SHOULD GROW UP.
TO SOCALBAGYO: I have to disagree with most of what you said. Yes, you are right. We should respect teams for the effort they gave during the past competition. However, THE CRYING LIGHT is right. Nothing should be deemed too sacred for criticism whether it be UP (which is my school) or others.
Yes, I agree that the “noontime show” comment left by WTF was definitely out-of-line. That is what you can classify as bashing. But to point out something in order to explain a point–like what TCL, NIKNOK and others did in their posts–that falls along the lines of constructive criticism. That does not take anything away from the winners. It does not quantify a negation of their success. It merely states that, in their eyes, it could have been better. And maybe they are right. How can you know? Even with extensive dancing knowledge, you still wouldn’t be 100% correct all the time because dancing is, and will always be, an art form. Therefore, it is greatly subjective. It takes a dancer to know the use of style but it does not take an artist to see what one believes is the flaw or the beauty of an art piece in one’s own perspective.
Ergo, the politely pointed comments given by some of the contributors here should also be respected.
can someone post their dance remix.. especially UP! :-bd thanks
))
no one will do that. gagamitin lang ng ibang group/tao yung mix nila.
natawa naman ako dito. haha.. not only will other group/s use their mix, malamang sa malamang may interes din sa choreo. haha
Guys, you can now view the complete performance of the finalists at http://www.skechers.com.ph! One finalist’s performance will be uploaded per day–and UP was already up as of today. Go check it out!
Where’s the love? hahaha! Congrats to everyone who danced their heart out that night =P
Natutuwa ako dahil nag champion ang claret pero hindi ako natutuwa na nag second ang lasalle i think mas deserving pa ang ateneo sa second at sa MIRIAM so sad to them because ginawa na nila lahat ng dahilan para sumayaw for the second chance eto lang masasabi ko 2times silang sumayaw 2times din silang naging loser.
pero ang favorate ko sa lahat ng sumayaw ay ang ST.MARKS kahit hindi sila pumasok sa place theire gives the best choreography of the dance may i know what the name of there choreographer and what kind of dicipline ang ginagawa ng kanyang dancer at sa performance nila kahit may mga sabit parang nakita ko sa kanila ang up hindi pag dating sa style but pag execute ng sayaw they give the best transition of blockings and i know this dance trope can show more
nakakatawa ka alam mo un. para kang nagbubuhat ng sarili mong bangko! duh! obvious naman na bias ka! hahaha kunwari ka pa, eh tga St. Marks ka din naman! haha
To Brayan Veloso:
Your logic is hilarious. They danced twice therefore they lost twice? Sorry but that’s just stupid mainly because they had every right to repeat their performance due to the failure of the sound system. It is not like they bribed anyone to give them that second chance. They merely took hold of the same right given to ALL the schools including your precious St.Marks.
And I don’t think there is a need for you to insult them because they lost. Critiquing their performance is one thing but rubbing their defeat on their faces is just tasteless.
And here’s an advice for you: magtagalog ka nalang, pre. “So sad to them?” – more like, “so sad FOR them.” “Favorate?” – more like “favorite.”
Your attitude alone is already sour at best. You don’t need to further degrade yourself with these kinds of atrocities to the English language. How on earth are people supposed to take your seriously? Tsk tsk tsk.
MAGTAGALOG KA NALANG, PRE. MANGIINSULTO KA NA NGA LANG, SABLAY PA! FAIL.
Oh please. This is nothing but a kiss on the ass of St.Marks. I wouldn’t be surprised if you came from that school, BRAYAN VELOSO. In fact, I wouldn’t even be surprised if you are, in anyway, connected to a particular respondent in this site (the one who just doesn’t like Dance X.)
St.Marks has been one of my favorites but this year, they are not as clean compared to Sayawatha or the other competitors save Dance X and a couple of schools. Their transitions were not as inventive. And they didn’t dance with the same confidence and vigor they had the first few years of the competition.
And for the record, BRAYAN, Sayawatha did not “make” a reason. They merely pointed it out. If it was as farce as you claim it to be, then how come they were given that second chance? That kind of defeats your point, doesn’t it?
BRAYAN VELOSO.. are you from st. mark’s??? i just wanna know…
