ABS-CBN Studio-Redwood City, CA – Hip-hop dance groups from the San Francisco Bay Area showed off their moves during the auditions for Showtime, the highlight of ABS-CBN’s One Kapamilya Go on September 12 at the Great America in Santa Clara, California.

The auditions were held last August 21 at the ABS-CBN Studio in Redwood City, California.

Seven-year old Louie Solidum, a member of dance group, Funk Beyond Control said, “Our group has what it takes to move up to the next level — to become winners of Showtime.”

Members of HeartBeat, a Filipino-American dance group said this could be their big break.

Rovyn Bautista said it’s important to shine in Showtime, one of the most popular noontime shows in the Philippines, because they want to impress fellow Pinoys.

He said, “We bring a lot of choreography, a lot of emotion into our dance.   We want them to feel what we’re doing.”

Members of Swaggaright, an all-male dance group said Filipinos have what it takes to excel in the performing arts.

Dino Laoang said, “Filipinos, we got that swag. We can move differently than most people can.”

Dance groups still have the chance to audition for Showtime.  Contact Eric Pugeda at (650) 508-6123 for details.
