Cheerdance

Back to Basics

by Carmela Therese Papa

AS THE climb toward their dream demands for restless grind, the Blue Babble Battalion continues to lay the groundwork for their return to the dance floor. In last season’s UAAP Cheerdance Competition, the team concluded their performance at eighth place after withstanding the stumbles their rookie-laden unit took. With Season 87 quickly approaching, the Blue Eagles have refocused on improving their skills by returning to the fundamentals of cheerdance. Determined to reach further heights, the Katipunan-based squad looks to rebuild their current system piece by piece to reestablish a fortified foundation. Setting the stage for a new era, newly-appointed Head Coach John Paul Santiago takes the mantle alongside Team Captains Victor Medina and Danielle Capistrano. With veterans Liea and Lila Pagtalunan joining the lineup, accompanied by Ateneo de Naga recruits Archie Cilot, Doyeen Galicia, and John Lagdaan, the Blue Eagles are set for a game-changing comeback, as they intend to harness their newfound rhythm for success.
