Like a movie, if I am not entertained within the first minute or two - with a movie maybe the first 15 minutes - but with videos like this I give them a minute - if not interested I move on. To be fair I only watched the last video Santo Tomas the same amount of time. The first video Philippines sad to say but they were sloppy. They tried to do a lot of flips and stuff to wow the crowd and for most people that works but for someone who has a background in dance and cheer, I did not see tight moves, or uniformity. The second video - too many lifts which are nothing more than easy moves and crowd pleasers but they also used like 5 or so catchers where in the last video Santo Tomas they did not need so many catchers and their moves overall were tight, uniform, and cohesive. Granted they also did a lot more dance in the first minute or so than the other two groups who were more "cheer" so maybe that is why things were judged the way they were judged. I don't know and as I said I did not watch the entire videos however based on MY feelings, of ENTERTAINMENT value, execution, and how well they moved as a group, I would give 1st to Santo Tomas, 2nd to National, and 3rd to Philippines. My two cents. :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01923509407764127053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-973854446825773390.post-35286597265111998142015-10-04T22:47:56.924+08:002015-10-04T22:47:56.924+08:00Pick the one you have a great connection with # 1 ...Pick the one you have a great connection with # 1 University of Santo Tomas they were creative #2 University of the PhilippinesAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01133624205106174769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-973854446825773390.post-2694568693673741222015-10-04T21:02:34.457+08:002015-10-04T21:02:34.457+08:00I am not the person to judge something like this b...I am not the person to judge something like this but I did watch all three videos and I probably would have chosen the third squad (UST Salinggawi Dance Troupe).
