The Unbeatable Tandem of Dance Pinoy

Production Manager

Michelle Ann Rio

An intuitive artist by heart, Michelle has been exposed to the wonders of the arts at a very young age. Most inclined in writing, her creative juices are mostly influenced by classic or witty-modernized theatre plays. Having been trained in acting at ABS-CBN Star Magic workshops at the age of twelve, she pursued her dreams of becoming an actress by enrolling at ABS-CBN Distance Learning Center as Mr. Johnny Manahan’s scholar. Not having the luck to be discovered, Michelle tried to put aside for a while her artistic pursuits and took up Philosophy in the University of Santo Tomas as she was decided then to become a lawyer. 

However, her love for the arts just cannot be contained inside her. She continued to write plays and dance during college affairs. Pursuing her passion for writing as a correspondent of the online blog Dancepinoy.com led her into the world of events and talent management. Now a multi-tasker in the field as well as producing award-winning film documentaries under OBRA Inc., Michelle finds contentment in working behind-the-scenes.

Nash, the Founder of the Philippine Dance Network (Dancepinoy.com) has gone beyond the standards of being an artistic professional. A painter, a dancer, a director, a photographer, a web designer, an event organizer and even a model and cosplayer in his younger years, Nash embodies a person whose soul is fulfilled through its entanglement in the arts. He founded several dance groups such as Buhawi Dance Artists, SIKAT Dance Repertory and D.A.N.C.E.! Phililippines. His love for dance lives on as Nash shares this passion with several other dancers through Dance Pinoy.

Nash earned the very prestigious 2011 Ani ng Dangal Award for Film given by the National Commission for Culture and Arts last February 2011 after directing films that won international awards abroad. The 15th Congress also recognized Nash's outstanding achievements through Resolution No. 314 Commending Nash Anggahan by no other than Sen. Loren Legarda.

Nash is currently studying Masters in Filmmaking - Major in Directing at the Korea National University of Arts and consistently winning awards in his films.
