“From last year’s performance, it’s so sweet and simple. For this year, it’s fierce and strong,” said head coach Ghicka Bernabe on their theme this season.
After showcasing a performance adorned with Disney references in 2012, NU Pep Squad wants to offer something that will show their maturity as a team as they take their routine to a higher notch this time.
“This year, ginawa naming stronger yung dance and the movements. Inupgrade namin yung level ng stunts and pyramids,” added Bajacan. “Nag isip na kami kung anong magagandang stunts from the NCC routine. Inupgrade pa namin siya para mas maging difficult yung pyramids and stunts.” He added.
NU also topped the Group Stunt competition while Far Eastern University and UST finished second and third, respectively.
The 2013 UAAP Cheerdance Competition drew a record crowd of 20, 830 -- the most of any event at the Mall of Asia Arena.
