The Manila Qualifiers @ URBN QC the following week were an epic battle of dance prowess, and JXYB - Dhztine Bernardino triumphed, beating out the stiff competition to earn a berth in the Red Bull Dance Your Style National Finals. Contestants Darktruth, Luigi, and Keycee received the final three available spots for the National Finals.
Only half of the field remains for the National Finals, which will be held on September 2, 2023 at 5th Avenue in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, after the Top 8 from the two regional qualifiers have been determined. Wildcard selections will make up the other half of the Top 16.
To be able to represent the country is something all finalists consider a big honor, since it showcases not just Filipino talent but also the Philippines as a place filled with unique culture, traditions, styles, and technique. According to dance consultant Lema Diaz: “Filipinos are very expressive, and that translates very well into our dancing culture. Whoever gets the chance to be the country’s representative to the World Finals, they have a very big torch to carry. They carry not just their personal aspirations but also the collective dreams and aspirations of their fellow Filipinos. Our dancing culture is deeply rooted in our history, culture, and values, and it serves as a powerful means of storytelling and connection.”
As Red Bull Dance Your Style's National Finals is fast approaching, the stakes are higher than ever for the finalists to give it their all and earn the coveted title of being the Philippines' representative on the global stage. Whoever emerges victorious in the National Finals will have the incredible opportunity to secure their slot in Germany, where they will compete with dancers from around the world in Red Bull Dance Your Style's World Finals.
