Maximum Groovity VI: Move and Groove Your Way to the Max!

Last August 27, 2010, Mega Events Manila rocked the house in Crossroads 77's Covenarium as they staged the Maximum Groovity 6, an interschool dance competition.

The place was packed as everyone watched out for the twenty schools which battled it out for being this year's champion.

The show started off with all the dance teams getting on stage and showing a bit of what they've got. After which, the competition officially started and each of the teams were called.

After the first batch has performed, the hosts called out to special guest Mikey Pierce to come on stage. Mikey then said a little about ASAPXV, then later on pulled out some contestants from the crowd.

The competition resumed and the second batch of schools performed. Mostly were hiphop but a few stood out as The Company of Ateneo Dancers performed jazz and the Bedan Theatre performed contemporary.

After the last team performed, the judges were introduced:
1. Jocelyn Oxlade - member of Kitty Girls
2. Danny Boy - main stay at Party Pilipinas
3. Wilson Ong
4. Jo Mesina - former All Stars member
5. Elaine Borlohan

Celebrity judges were asked to come to the stage and say a few words about the competition.

Joe Mesina, one of the judges, acknowledged the presence of young JV.

While the scores are being tabulated, the hosts gave out certifcates of participation to all contestants who joined. Then,  the announcement of winners began.
And the winners were:

 

Champion: 93.83 – La Salle Dance Company – Street

1st Runner Up: 91.88 – Technological Institute of the Philippines – Quezon City Talents Guild

2nd Runner Up: 86.30 – Company of Ateneo Dancers – Jazz

People's Choice Award: Our Lady of Fatima

Gino Ong, the head of DLSU Street says that it is such an honor and fulfillment to be the champion. Though practices were not consistent because of school work, he believes that their determination and dedication helped them win. Personally, winning this year’s competition is especially meaningful to him. He admitted that it would be the last time he would be dancing as he would be graduating next year.

Mr. Kenneth Bernardo, head of Mega Events Manila, is so thrilled with the numbers prepared by all schools as it gave a good show to the audience altogether. Although, this gave judges a hard time to decide. As with the audience response, he is so pleased that a lot came to support and watch the event, compared to last year’s show as it was held a few days after the tragic Ondoy typhoon.
