Cebu dance team to vie in US tilts
Team Cebu City-Dancesport is gearing up for a month-long stint in the US dubbed the “DTCC USA Road Show and Competition.”

On Aug. 4, the team will perform at the LA Dance Village and in Las Vegas the next day before proceeding to the Empire State Dancesport Championship in Manhattan on Aug. 10-14.
Team members
They will then compete in the Star Ball Dancesport Championships in Las Vegas on Aug. 17-20 before they head back home on Aug. 24.
The team is composed of real-life couple Jojie and Jonah del Rosario, Lowell Bernados and Jeanen Bergado, Jimmy Joel and Karla Fornolles and Genice Marquez and Charlea Lagaras.
The team’s trip is supported by the Filipino Community of USA and the Cebu City Government.
