About DTCC

The Dancesport Team Cebu City (DTCC) was formed six years ago by some three dancing couples drawn together by their love for ballroom dancing and their passion to compete. It has since grown to more than 60 couples, who are involved in the training up to 200 students in its free workshop outreach programs that aimed to provide alternative activity to taking drugs and committing petty crimes. DTCC’s students and workshop participants are mostly kids and youth aged five to twenty-five years old. DTCC believes that by providing them dance sport training  they can make a difference in our country’s future.

To date, the team has conducted workshops to more than 3,000 participants. This sense of volunteerism and dedication aids fuel to the team members’ passion for dance sport. So far, the team has won 94 golds, 82 silvers and 77 bronze medals in the national and international competition. In the last national competition, the team won 17 out of the possible 23 golds.
