THE UST Salinggawi Dance Troupe (SDT) failed anew to enter the top three in the third UAAP Streetdance Competition held at the Skydome last March 23.
UP Street Dance Club dethroned two-time champions La Salle Dance Company-Street, which settled for a runner-up finish, while Adamson University CAST placed third.
“We really came up short this year because we allotted only three weeks of practice for this event,” said SDT coach Joe Abuda.
“I believe that the Salinggawi is a great dance group. The talent and passion is there and the whole Thomasian community is very supportive to us,” he added.
The competition was judged based on performance (60%) and skills (40%) set by the UAAP Streetdance Board of Committee.
The competition was followed by the UAAP closing ceremonies wherein rival schools witnessed UST receiving the trophy for second place in the overall race, a sight which was not seen for the past 14 years. Hedrix Ar-ar C. Caballe
