We all know that dancing is around the globe, we all have different style and venue when we are dancing. Somehow dancing in the Philippines is hard, dancers are gathered in a particular area on the streets. We don't have a studio to practice dancing. Just like my childhood, we with my neighbors do practice at the grass. That place was the first time I learned back flip. Then we gathered and saw our elder neighbors practicing their dance for their upcoming competition. We are inspired by them because we saw them enjoying the dance, and there I saw b-boying that has a lot of funky movement and b-boys are like ninjas they move swiftly. That time I was interested and learned by myself and take sessions with other dancers to improve the dance.

This is Bboy Mouse, a very inspirational break dancer from the Philippines.
He has a very rough past but it didn't stop him from reaching his dreams in life. And even with his age right now he still continues to breakdance, a member of Mighty Zulu Kingz.
Somehow the main problem of the dancers here in the Philippines is their financial status. Dancers do a lot of training but the paid or shall I say incentives of their performance is not enough to support their living. A lot of big competition are happening every year but some of the competition are not so good in supporting the dancers just like for example they do have an entrance fee to make the dancers compete and they said who will become the champion will compete outside the country, then dancers are expecting that the event who are responsible for that competition will support the dancers to go outside the country.
I don't know if it is unfair, you know the training the problems and challenges at dance practices were very hard and tiring, I just want to say that dancers deserve a fair payback for their performances. If you are a dancer and a beginner do have a studio or not don't feel bad if you are not good enough now, training will do the rest. Practice and practice each and every day, do it seriously with love and passion. If you do that all you will achieve your goal.
