ReQuest Dance Crew in Manila

America’s Best Dance Crew Season 6 finalist and Two-time World Hip-hop Champions just arrived in Manila- Philippines. 
 
“I found my new inspiration” – When it comes to dancing I always find my inspiration to perform better and motivate myself to be the best. ReQuest Dance Crew just entered the list of my inspiration.


These girls from New Zealand rocked the stage of Irwin theater at Ateneo last Nov 16. Before that, two dance crews in Philippines performed as front act- Legit Status and The Crew. At first, I was not really a fan of hip hop thing. I never joined street dance competition or alike. I rarely appreciate hip-hop dancers before. On the contrary, today I can’t explain how much I adore dancers who can break dance, vogue, crumping, etc. Different dance crews were just introduced and familiarized to me by my new group- D’ Shots (3rd Grand finalist of Showtime). Big thanks to them for influencing me to another aspect of dancing.

As far as I know, RQ crew had three performances in Manila. (Correct me if I’m wrong) First stop was at Ateneo de Manila University, where I attended with friends. The best P200 concert I have ever watched in my 20 years of existence.  The audience was full of zest to scream and show their fanaticism to the NZ-based dancers. The former courtside reporter and softball varsity player of UP Fighting Maroons - Riki Flores hosted the dance concert. The second performance I watched them was their guesting on ASAP. After that, they went to Glorietta for another show.

I’m still hoping to see and watch them up-close. Even to meet them in personal when I go to New Zealand. They dance as if there’s no tomorrow. Their craft for dancing is something indestructible.  No one can obliterate their knacks for it. They are unique and incredible girl group. Even though, they didn’t win the crown as 6th Season Champ for ABDC but for everyone they always got the crown everywhere they go. It’s their trademark their glorious and astonishing crowning moves.
