Cheers were heard all over the arena as soon as their schools start performing. Drummers and yellers from each university were present, too, to hype up their team.

After the performances, the University of the Philippines topped all three categories by a landslide.

In the Latin Ballroom Formation, the FEU Dance Company won first runner-up, and the UST Sinag Ballroom Dance Company was second runner-up.

Lastly, in the Standard Ballroom Formation, UST-SBDC won the first runner-up, while AUDC finished the second runner-up.

After the said competition, AdU celebrated the achievements of the team since winning these kinds of competitions is not easy. It requires someone to be mentally and physically tough in every training session, plus the dedication they put in by carrying their school’s name on their back.

They may not have won in all categories, but Adamsonians know that they did their best in representing the whole Adamson community.
