KALAYAAN 07 and CHK Freshmen Orientation

UP DANCESPORT GOES INDEPENDENT

On the 12th of June 2007, some members of the UP DanceSport Society took part in the 109th Independence Day Celebration entitled Kalayaan 2007 Sama-sama Tayo Tungo sa Pagasenso at the Quirino Grandstand. They danced together with other invited dancesport performers to live chacha and jive music played by the AFP General Headquarters Band as part of the tribute to the contribution of brass bands in the merrymakings in Philippine history.

Later that afternoon, they performed a Latin Medley in the CHK Freshmen Orientation held at the Vanguard Rooftop.
