I'm Vikky Bondoc-Cabrera from Quezon City, Philippines. I am a professional
PR Counselor whose art expression and hobby is dance, having been formally
introduced to ballet, folkdance and social dancing at the age of 8, many
decades ago.
As a result of my lifelong passion for dancing and sharing my knowledge
with social ballroom dancers (I'd really love to see more dancers moving
like graceful swans instead of waddling ducks), I published a ballroom
dance book last year, just six months after I started formally teaching
dance to amateur ballroom dancers and enthusiasts. My partner, Rene Canlas,
and I now function under the name of Heritage Dance Center.
By early next year, we'll be producing our own instructional videos, which
cover what we've always stressed in our dance classes, that is not only
dance steps but more importantly the fundamentals of dance -- rhythm,
musicality, posture, balance and centering, lead and follow, compression
and resistance, image and projection.
My website, The Dance Addict's Guide to Ballroom Dancing in the
Philippines, introduces visitors to the particular peculiarities of
ballroom dancing in our country, including specific popular dances, styles
and pattern variations, nomenclature (Swing is Boogie; Street Hustle is
Swing, etc.), dealing with roving and booked dance instructors, and a copy
of my book online -- Victoria's Dance Secrets. You may check it out at

Ain't it obvious we're interested in participating in your project. More
power.

It's not a crime to be a beginner dancer, but definitely a crime to look
like one.
