UAAP to hold 8th Streetdance Competition this weekend

MANILA, Philippines – This Saturday, the UAAP is set to hold its 8th annual Streetdance Competition at the Araneta Coliseum where the premier collegiate league’s best exponents of hip-hop, breakdance and bodypopping compete for bragging rights and the pleasure of entertaining its loyal fans.

Held every season as an exhibition between competitive sports action, the Streetdance Competition features dance-offs in the collegiate (seniors) and high school (juniors) divisions.

This year, defending seniors champion Street Alliance from FEU looks to go back-to-back while the UST high school team Galvanize hopes to do a repeat of their Season 80 winning performance in the juniors divison.

It was FEU’s first streetdance crown ever in Season 80, dethroning La Salle and relegating UP to second runner-up.

A highlight of the competition will be the first ever UAAP-JBL Freestyle Showdown, where participants from each UAAP school will attempt out-battle each other on the dance floor.

The competition starts at 2 p.m.
