Street Dancing & Showdown

The street dancing competition of the Sandurot Festival started around 3:30 pm during a hot afternoon. You can see how eager they were to give their very best performance to bring honor to their respective barangays and schools! The route of the competition started from the Rizal Boulevard going to the Silliman Hall (two of Dumaguete’s famous tourist spot). Then making a turn to Portal West, then down to the Dumaguete Cathedral and the Dumaguete Belltower. The final stretch would be making it down to the Pantawan Peoples Park.

After the street dancing competition, the showdown competition was on! During this portion, they got to showcase their special formations and moves at Pantawan Peoples Park. Hundreds of locals and foreign guests watched the program with awe. All 13 dance groups did their best. The only downfall was the light and the video wall. There was basically very little lights from the front, but a lot of blinding from the back, making the great effort of the dancers partially into shadow dancing. All participants and the audience of the Sandurot Festival 2024 showdown would deserve much better.
