FEU seeks Cheerdance repeat

c/o UAAP

One of the most anticipated events in the UAAP is set to take place on Saturday afternoon at the Mall of Asia Arena with the Cheerdance competition.

Far Eastern University is looking to retain its title, this time with the familiar format instead of the pandemic-restricted three-minute run involving a maximum of fifteen performers.

15-25 cheerdancers will have a six-minute routine, with a couple of bass and snare drums serving as accompaniment, hoping not just to impress the judges, but also the expected capacity crowd inside the venue.

FEU Cheering Squad head coach Randel San Gregorio shares, "We wish everyone the best performance possible," with the defending champions choosing to pay homage to music legend Francis Magalona.

Serving as the main opposition to a successful title defense is the NU Pep Squad, who will be performing a "Cheerobics"-based routine this time around in an attempt to claim their seventh title in the last nine seasons.

Adamson, who alongside FEU are the only schools to have won the title during NU's recent dominance, will kick off the action at 4pm.

Following them will be the University of the East, UST and the Salinggawi Dance Troupe, La Salle, Ateneo, FEU, NU, and a retooled University of the Philippines Pep Squad.

Teams were given Friday to finetune their performances at the hallowed venue.
