years in review

So, since i had guilt-free internet for the weekend, i reviewed these UAAP Cheerdance routines. and, i have come up with:

My Top Ten Best UAAP Cheerdance Routines (based on videos found in Rovy2k's channel)

10. UST Salinggawi Dance Troupe 2005

clean. synchornized. high tosses. my problem with the routine is UST's uniform. i didn't feel that tiger stripes will work for them. nice opening sequence with everybody doing the front walk.

9. De La Salle Pep Squad 2005

for me, this is their best performance if compared to the disastrous 2007 and futuristic 2008. i thought they are going to barge in the top three with this routine. very snappy moves. tapos mas risky yung pyramids although hindi mataas ang tosses. pati yung dance sequences nila natuwa ako.

8. Ateneo Blue Babble Battalion 2006

this is the advent of Ateneo cheerdance. beautiful uniform. great gymnastics skills. medyo mabagal lang silang magbuo ng pyramid. ito na yung time na nagsisimula na silang lumayo sa traditional pag cheerdance competition na.

7. UP Pep Squad 2005


what i like most about this routine ay yung starting chant. parang, it will make you stop and watch talaga. tapos ang taas ng tosses. nakakatuwa na lalo yung Nestle part - cute. haha. tapos, dito ko rin nakita na mataas ang level ng gymnastics skills ng UP. and considering the 2005 competition, sila ang may best tumbling passes.

6. Ateneo Blue Babble Battalion 2008

best Ateneo performance for me. galing galing. hindi ko lang masyadong gusto yung hanging tapos long sleeves na uniform for girls. haha. great gymnastics, one that could rival UP's. ang ganda din nung A sa dulo, alam mong pinaghandaan talaga at gusto talaga nilang manalo. ang galing na ng flyers nila ngayon.

5. Adamson Pep Squad 2008

ang nice nito. best performance din ng Adamson. mas maganda costume nila. ang lagi ko lang problema sa kanila ay ang pagkakamix ng music. tapos yung formation nila mukhang magulo. yes, they increased their level of difficulty this year that led to a 3 level pyramid. sorry loss. pero, maganda nga.

4. FEU Cheering Squad 2008

when in terms of synchronization, best sa 2008. wala akong masabi. alam mong sobrang pinaghirapan nila na mag-sync talaga lahat ng members. iisa lang yung galaw. kaso, ang sumira sa performance ay yung last pyramid na nahulog. maganda din yung effort ng face paint para mas masink-in yung theme of fire. pero, hindi masyadong fiery sa routine nila. they had safe pyramids. and their pompoms are kind of redundant.

3. UST Salinggawi Dance Troupe 2006

kung titingnan ang synchronization ng lahat ng napanood kong routine, ito ang number one. and, from 2005-2008, ito ang best routine nila for me. gusto ko din yung uniform nila. at matataas ang tosses. pero they really need to improve in tumbling passes. gusto ko dito especially, yung naglalakad sila habang nakabridge. haha. ang cute.

2. UP Pep Squad 2008 (best video, kitang kita lahat)

UP is considered as Cheerdance's Benchmark of Innovation and Creativity by the opening spiel. the reason why it was a big hit because it was the university's centennial. given na hindi, it wouldn't work. evident yung errors pero i understand. with this level of difficulty, mahirap ng pantayan ang UP. ang bilis ng routine kaya medyo nahirapan sila bigla sa pag execute ng pyramids. pero, the tosses were great - xout twist(?), full twists and a kick double full. ang galing talaga nung pagkakagawa ng routine na to. ang galing din ng tumbling passes nila dito. with 5 layouts. medyo awkward lang ako sa costume. haha.

1. UP Pep Squad 2007

who would have thought you could make a goth-themed routine a winning routine. ang ganda ng formations ng UP dito. sa tingin ko, ito yung pinakamagandang performance ng UP. malinis na maganda pa ang execution. great gymnastics skills. ang ganda nung opening part. favorite part ko dito yung yung last pyramid. they make difficult pyramids look so easy to do.
