Cebu Centre For Dance
(The Freeman) Updated July 04, 2012 12:00 AM

CEBU, Philippines - In the heart of Cebu City lies Cebu Centre for Dance, the newest dance and fitness center in town. It is composed of well-trained and qualified teachers whose aim is to provide the highest quality of dance training, opportunity for the talented, disciplined & dedicated students to fully explore and develop their potential. Be it ballet, contemporary, jazz, hip-hop or any other form of dance, CCD gives our students the tools necessary to bring technical precision, dramatic passion and individual artistry to their performance. To be able to achieve this, CCD makes sure to invite not only accomplished but also well-trained teachers to give workshops and special classes to their students. This will help instill important values and qualities such as commitment, hard work, discipline, self-improvement and the motivation to succeed.

Last June 21, with the blessing of Ballet Manila (the leading ballet company in the country), CCD was able to invite one of the company's Senior Soloist and faculty member, Ms.Sofia Sangco-Peralta, to give a Master's class to the Ballet 2 and Advance students. Ballet Manila has been known for its excellence in classical ballet training and exquisite productions and performances, not only in the Philippines but all over the world, as well.

The company specializes in the Russian (Vaganova) method of classical ballet under the watchful eye of Artistic Director Lisa Macuja-Elizalde and Ballet Master Osias Barroso. "You can just see it in the performances. The strictness and uniformity of the group… Ballet Manila never fails to make the audience leave the theater with a smile. We are very humbled and proud to have once been part of Ballet Manila's world-class training and continuous aim for perfection" — Sheila and Chris Manlunas (former Ballet Manila dancers).

Sofia together with her husband, Romeo Peralta who is also a soloist dancer of Ballet Manila, inspired all the dancers including parents and guests who were watching the class. The students had so much fun dancing their hearts out and absorbing all corrections Teacher Sofia shared. The students went home with big smiles on their faces.

" I really enjoyed teaching the students and they are all very talented. A lot of them have the body to pursue professionally if they like. Of course there's always a room for improvement but I was really impressed with them." — Sofia Sangco-Peralta

Cebu Centre for Dance offers different dance classes such as classical ballet for kids and adults, contemporary, jazz, hiphop, ballroom and zumba. A wide array of fitness classes are also offered — such as yoga, pilates, taichi and weng chun martial arts. For more details, visit them at Door 4, Tango Plaza Building, Queen's Road, Redemptorist Site, Cebu City or call telephone no. 514-4283. — Contributed

CEBU MD.COM: Cebu Centre for Dance, Not Just an ordinary Dance school


FRIDAY, JULY 13, 2012
Cebu Centre for Dance, Not Just an ordinary Dance school
Doctors are human beings too who want to pursue their passion for other things outside their medical profession. I know of doctors who send their little kids to music schools for piano and violin lessions. In the same manner, many also send their children to dance schools to learn ballet and other dances like hiphop.

I even know of one doctor who continues to pursue her passion for dance as a part-time teacher of ballet in Cebu -- Dr. Mary Poblete-Chan, an obstetric-gynecologist. And where does she teach ballet? At Cebu Centre for Dance.

My interest for the culture and arts has brought me to visit the Cebu Centre for Dance (CCD), the newest dance school providing world-class dance training established by a group of individuals who are passionate about ballet and dance and who are very willing to share their experience and expertise.



The dance studio

CCD opened last April 12, 2012. The dance floor area according to the operations manager I interviewed is about 110 square dance meters divided into Studio A and B, with A being the larger studio. The 2 studios can be combined also to form a larger dance floor. CCD also has proper sprung floors made of Taraflex which makes injuries a lesser probability for ballet dancers and other dance students who often jump and bounce among other maneuvers.





There are mirrors all throughout and fixed smooth wooden hand rails which is preferred more by some ballet dancers and most especially ballroom dancers.

Speakers are built around the room to immerse the dancers fully into the music as they dance.



CCD also has its own toilet and 3 dressing rooms as well as lockers. Since many ballet accessories are not readily available, CCD sells tights, leotards, pointe shoes, toe pads among others for convenience.





Not just ballet

The school offers regular lessons (mainly the Vaganova method) in ballet divided into pre-ballet 1 and 2 for little kids, Ballet 1A and B, Ballet 2 and Advanced ballet. Scholarships are offered also to deserving students.

But the teachers there do not just teach ballet. In relation to ballet, French terminologies related to ballet are introduced to their wards to facilitate ballet instruction.

They also teach Contemporary (an expressive form of dance combining modern dance and ballet), Social Dance (Latin and Ballroom), Hip Hop, Jazz, Yoga and Pilates. All of these are taught by certified and experienced dance instructors in the person of couples Chris and Shiela Lendio-Manlunas, veteran Baby Cabaero (which is also a certified Pilates mat teacher), Johanna Mangubat and ably supported by Dr. Mary Poblete-Chan and Thea Pala. Zumba sessions are also offered with Emma Satchell, certified Zumba instructor, on board.

"We believe exposure to different artists is important to kids," says Johanna Mangubat who manages the operations of the CCD. She adds (referring to the trainings that they give), "We are very particular to the kind of quality we give to the students."

The Pilates by the way is incorporated in the ballet program as a strength and conditioning measure, an important aspect of dancing.

Not just a dance school

CCD is not just a dance school. It is also a fitness studio as groups can rent the place for aikido, taichi and wingchun classes. The place is also open for those who want to rent it for dance practices. Some doctors practicing for convention or party production numbers have already utilized the studio for their practices.

I happened to arrive at CCD at the time some adult students are coming out from a session. Seeing them come out smiling after a session is a good indication that perhaps CCD is indeed a nice school to learn dancing aside from their impressive lineup of dance faculty.

So why not send your kids to learn dancing from this school. Or if not, register yourself in one of the classes. Doctors out there in Cebu, join the other doctors who are already taking classes or having dancing sessions in CCD. Or you could practice as a group here. Remember, dancing also promotes fitness.

Cebu Centre for Dance is located at Door 4, Tango Plaza Bldg., Queen's Road, Cebu City, within the vicinity of the building at the back of C and E Publishing near Redemptorist Parish. They can be contacted at telephone numbers (032) 514-4283. Visit their Facebook page and website for more information or if you want to contact them through online means.
