My daughter Natalie was 10 years old during the competition. This was the first National Ballet competition she joined. She competed under the Junior Solo 11-13 years old both Classical and Contemporary with around 35 competitors from other schools. She was very nervous during her first routine. It was so brave of her to join since she was only 10 and she was a lot younger and competed with kids who were older than her especially those in the age group of 13.
It was a very tough competition the judges were well known and most of the from the International Ballet Schools there was Irene Lo from HongKong and Malu Rivera-Peoples and Myra Beltran.
Some of the competitors had also been joining International ballet competitions like the Asian Grand Prix and has already garnered awards there.
Natalie won 9th place Contemporary Category combined for Boy and Girls and she got the 6th highest score from those who competed. We didn't really expect her to win anything yet coz she was the youngest in the group. It was a great experience for her to learn from and met lots of new friends.
The Philippine Dance Cup Competition is only held every 2 years. The next one will be on 2016 and she is preparing again with a lot of hard work.
