By Leobert Julian A. de la Peña

The Iloilo MB Dance Academy is back on the international stage and dominated the recently concluded 20th Soul Cup Korea Open Online Dance sports championship 2021.

The City of Love was once again well represented after the Matthew Cutanco Balbastro-led dance sports team collected a total of 10 medals; seven gold medals, two silvers, and one bronze.

Joemel Yap Magallanes was the star that shone the brightest for the MB Dance team after raising the championship trophy in all four joined categories: WCDA U16 (CSRJ), Pre-Amateur Male (CSR), Under 16 Male (CR), and the Under 16 Male (CRJ).

Meanwhile, another proud MB Dance product Dana Angelica Galfo nabbed two gold medals in the WCDA U20 and the Pre-Amateur Female categories while getting the silver medal in the U20 Female (CSJ) category.

Zoe Alexandria Lanceta and Leanne Reigh Lanceta then closed the show after adding three more medals, one fifth place, one sixth place, and one semifinals finish in the last categories.

The prized dance sports organization also made waves last June 15 after netting a total of 17 medals during the Jamili’s Scholarship Cup 1st Open Online dance sports competition, one of the premier national tournaments in the country.
