AT A GLANCE
Georcelle also said G-Force is set to introduce swing dance among the current generation of dancers.
G-Force Artistic Director Georcelle Dapat-Sy is on cloud nine following the success of the G-Force Dance Project 2024, which was held at The Theater Solaire in Paranaque City on July 28.
After two sold-out recitals on July 7 and 28, Georcelle announced that G-Force would be embarking on a tour in Canada and the Middle East, marking their global expansion.
"We've been touring the Philippines. This August, pupunta naman ang G-Force sa Canada. What's great about this tour is the Filipino touch. Whenever Filipinos see G-Force, they feel like they're home," Teacher Georcelle said.
She added: "Ang dami kong gustong mangyari. So we had a one-month brainstorming meeting. And we are going global. We will be in the Middle East in November."
Georcelle also said G-Force is set to introduce swing dance among the current generation of dancers.
"Nag-swing ang Gen Z (kanina sa stage). This is us introducing the movements from before. Bakit hindi natin ituro sa kanila at bigyan nila ng bagong interpretation? I recently reconnected with my first mentor, Eric Edralin. I started in this business at an early age.
"Then, I started professionally at the Sharon Cuneta Show when I was 14 years old, and I reconnected with Eric Edralin. He is the choreographer of Sharon and The Penthouse Live! Pops Fernandez and Sharon Cuneta. I'm just excited that this is all happening," she said.
Georcelle stated that G-Force is renowned for training celebrities who want to learn how to dance.
"With the competitions and what we're doing, they see G-Force in TV shows and social media, so they see G-Force as trainers of celebrities.
"For you to be trained by the trainers of Kathryn Bernardo, they also want to be taught the same way kung paano tinuruan ang kanilang mga idols. Sabi nga ng ating special guest Ling Zhang sa aking mga students, lahat sila are superstars," she said.
When G-Force began 19 years ago, the letter G in G-Force only meant Georcelle. However, it has since evolved with different meanings for the letter G in G-Force.
"G was for Georcelle when we started. But now, it's a global force. And now, with Gen Zs, it has become an operational force. Throughout the years, nag-iiba na ang meaning ng letter G."
Georcelle also encouraged everyone to dance which she said is very beneficial.
"Kaya love ko ang TikTok, hindi siya intimidating. It's so inviting. My advice is not to be intimidated. Through TikTok, marami ang nag embrace ng dance. There's dancing for all, and there's also a dance studio where you can learn how to dance.
"So, if your goal in dancing is to lose weight, then dance. If your goal is to be happy, then dance. If you want to become a professional dancer, do it seriously.
"Dance is very beneficial. Papasayahin ka and it's very healthy kasi gagalaw ka. And you will meet a lot of friends," Georcelle said.
