EVENTS: PUSH ON UP

Push on UP DanceSport!

They said we wouldn't make it so far
And ever since they said it, it's been hard
But nevermind the nights we had to cry
Cause we have never let it go inside
We worked real hard and we know exactly what we want and need
So believe and we can never give up
We can reach our goals
Just talk to our souls and say...

We believe we can
We believe we will
We believe, we know our dreams are real
We believe we'll chant
We believe we'll dance
We believe we'll grow real soon and
That is what we do believe
('I believe' , OST Honey, modified lyrics)

Yes we believe and we've made it. We've come to dance and look great with the reputable dance organizations of the University. We may be small, we may be few, but we'll always stand tall and dance tall and prove to you we deserve to be honored as well.

July 4, 2007 at 3 pm and 7 pm shows of PUSH ON UP goes MTV in the UP Theater, the UP DanceSport Society did a splendid opening performance with the UP Streetdance Club, UP Filipiniana Dance Troupe and the UP Varsity Pep Squad, doing a fusion of dance genres to Happy Feet's version of Boogie Wonderland.

UP DanceSport also did a dance together with the UP Table Tennis Varsity Team, proving that the racket players not only can move their feet from behind the pingpong table but on the dance floor as well. They did a traditional paso doble and moved their hips to rumba Music and Lyrics' famous song, Way Back Into Love.

* The UP DanceSport Society would like to thank everyone who helped make this endeavor possible most particularly Mr. Brian Lorenz Babon, Mr. Jojo Cariño and of course, our beloved adviser, Prof. Mynette Aguilar. Thanks also to her loving husband who never let our stomachs empty and to the whole UP Table Tennis Varsity Team and their coach, Mr. Oscar Santellices.
