PHILIPPINES, DECEMBER 3, 2010 – The excitement was obvious with all the balloons being waved and all the cheers of support echoing throughout Alpha Land Mall Penthouse last November 25 as seven media agency representatives vied for the title of “media agencies’ favorite dance duo” at So You Think Your Ahensya Can Dance.
The prize for the event sponsored by AXN Philippines: P500,000 worth of airtime spots in AXN channels for the winning company, and $1,000 for the winning pair. Runner-ups were given P250,000 worth of airtime for the company they represented and $500 for the pair themselves. The genres danced during the evening ranged from hip-hop, ballroom, and contemporary.
The contest itself was divided into the elimination round and the finals. For the elimination round, the agency dance duo had to dance their interpretation of a song of their choice related of an AXN show. For the finals, pairs were given several Hawaii Five-O theme song versions to play with and interpret for a dance number.
