Dancesport-Team Cebu City (DTCC) hauled 14 more gold medals aside from a silver and a bronze to continue its impressive debut yesterday in the 2006 Empire State Dancesport Championships at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Manhattan, New York.

DTCC now has 18 golds, two silvers and a bronze medal.

Another gold medal was won by the Cebuano dancers for their effort in the team competition, winning the latin team formation. They earlier dominated the standard team formation the other day.

Loloi Rendon and Eleanor Hayco claimed six gold medals together in a day after dominating the international tango, foxtrot, chacha, rumba, samba and waltz-open gold (A2) events.

The same also Hayco and Genice Marquez, who ruled the pro-am rumba event.

On the other hand, Jojie del Rosario and Jimmy Noel and Karla Fornolles contributed two golds, apiece.

The del Rosarios won the international waltz and tango-open gold (A1) while Noel and Fornolles reigned in the international chacha and rumba-open gold (A1).

Lowell Barnados and Jeanen Bergado were also not behind after pulling away the gold in the international quickstep-open gold (A1).
