Aha! Tito Tony has learned the power of Youtube! :D

I present to you excerpts of performances by the students of Tony Fabella, Luther Perez, & Eddie Elejar, performed in Thailand, Japan, & of course, here. :D Yes, this is the Phils' very own Take the Lead story right here. Except Antonio Banderas was only teaching for about two dozen kids in that movie, & my uncle specializes in MASS choreography. ;)

The folk dances in the video were originally choreographed by Lucrecia Urtula, & were restaged by Tito Tony & Tito Luther. The final number in the video though, "Tambol at Padyak", was choreographed by Tito Tony. It won him the Cultural Center of the Philippines' "Gawad Alab ng Haraya Award" for Best choreography.

Thanks to Sir Tony Palis for the corrections! ^_^

- Anybody want to watch? :D Ecole de Ballet Manilla is performing Czerny Variations by Luther Perez (Tito Luths! ^___^) & the Nat King Cole Suite by Nina Anonas de Santos (Teacher Neens! ^___^).

Brilliant performers, excellent music, talented artists - all to celebrate QC's 68th anniversary. But I only had eyes for the children of Quezon City Performing Arts!

These kids had such PASSION & JOY for dance, that you can throw perfect technique right out the window. Technique can only get you so far, you need that X factor - that thing that just makes people want to watch you dance. Each & every one of those kids had it! They all had that innate musicality that is essential for being a good dancer, they absolutely charmed the audience, their energy never went down, they made the stage come alive - these kids are pure MAGIC!! ^____^

I cannot praise my uncle enough - he is an expert at eliciting that magic in these kids. He gave these street children a better future through dance, his choreography can bring one to tears & put the biggest smile on your face... (I love you, Tito Tony! :D)

To all reading this, pls do see one of the QCFA group's shows! It'll put a smile on your face, & make you wanna DANCE! :D
