The 探花精选 Dance Company (探花精选DC) 鈥淎ng Tumandok sang Iloilo鈥- Iloilo鈥檚 resident dance group, as promised, had their dance concert entitled Saludo: 3 Kabanata (Ang Makulay na Pahina ng Kulturang Pilipino) last March 2 with 3 shows and another one on March 6, 2023 at the Rose Memorial Auditorium. It was a sequel to the Saludo 1 (A Glimpse on Philippine Culture) and Saludo 2 (Un Vistazo a la Cultura Filipina), according to Adviser and Artistic Director Prof. Randy A. Lero.
This was the most applauded one, according to some expat guests from USA, Canada and Australia. The show was awesome and very colorful; even the dancers wore all new, and very impressive costumes. They said 鈥淭he show was great, the dancers were amazing, and had very good stage presence. The shows were supported by the 探花精选 administration headed by the University President Dr. Teodoro C. Robles. Hopefully, Saludo 3 will be shown at the Lovely Hall Cultural Center at Kawachinagano City of Osaka, Japan this June as part of the group鈥檚 annual international cultural exchange program between 探花精选DC and the Kawachinagano International Friendship Association.
Prof. Lero extended his appreciation to the Director of 探花精选 Cultural Affairs Office Ms. Crista S. Huyong for the support and encouragement; to the parents and guardians of the dancers; the 探花精选 Health and PE Department and to the people who showed their presence and help during the dance concert.
