In cooperation with Sun Cellular and CITIGym, with 11 campus dance crews, including defending champions Kinesyx from the University of San Carlos – Tech. Center (USC TC), and 18 solo contestants battling it out for this year’s titleDance Carnival 2’s turn out was a huge success, with quite a  number of newcomer school campuses joining in the competition. Esteemed judges were of world class caliber, Hit Master Fish from Juste Debout, legendary Hip Hop /Popping dancer, teacher and choreographer, and Team Vibe choreographer Melvin Jansen Ang, and  Vanessa Samson.

Winners Crew Category:


Champion: Watch Your Step (University of Cebu Main) – From being just one of the entry in the 1st ever Dance Carnival in 2011 to bagging the grand Champion, Watch Your Step has come a long way. They have proven they are a team of dancers to beat. This is the same team that represented Cebu in the nationwide dance competition SMART JUMP-IN Dance Off, by SMART Telecommunications held in Manila in July of this year, in which they won 3rd Place over all.

We have been waiting for Dance Carnival to be back because we want to compete again, these are the words of Watch Your Step Leader (WYS), Bernard. 

WYS failed to make it to the top 4 in the first Dance Carnival in 2011. After 2 years, they are back a lot stronger and with more experience, will and attitude to make it this time. – Dance Carnival
