“I feel like this is an opportunity for Filipinos to see the value of dance,” says Mickey Yatar, who will represent the Philippines in the global street dance competition in Johannesburg this December.
MANILA, Philippines – Mickey Yatar has earned a unique shot to showcase his dancing flair in the world stage.
Yatar wants to win the global event not just for himself. By making a global mark, he knows it can leave a lasting impact on aspiring Filipino dancers and push the sport in the Philippines to a higher level. “So my practice in a week, I at least have three dance training and then maybe twice for conditioning,” he said. “like going to the gym, like having morning training and then full stretches and all that so I balance it too.”,” he added. “It’s hard, even for the knees because I’ve been dancing for a long time already, so the injuries and all that, sometimes it’s hard to avoid.
“I tried to keep my dancing at home, but it was hard. It was hard to get inspired, you didn’t know what will happen after the pandemic, there were so many uncertainties that time.”
