This Saturday the 19th November is the annual Mountain Dew National Dance Championship, to be held at Sir John Guise Indoor Sports Stadium.

The event will see more than 20 teams compete for cash and prizes to the value of K15,000 and to also be crowned the best dance crew in Papua New Guinea. The competition has grown so much in popularity since the last competition that a bigger venue was needed for this year.

“We held the last event at Southside Fitness Center and the turnout was amazing, so we knew that this time we had to make it bigger and better” Everett Chue, Director of Pacific Industries said. “Sir John Guise will be a great location for this year, we can fit more people in to watch and with it being indoors we don’t need to worry about the weather causing any problems.”

PNG’s premier dance group “Wan Squad” have also held 6 dance workshops in the lead up to this event to get the dancers prepared for the competition, as well as working on a “mega group” routine featuring Wan Squad.

“That routine is really going to be quite the spectacle; it will be close to a hundred dancers and with Wan Squad also involved it’s going to be something pretty special” Mr Chue said. “We’d love everyone to come down on Saturday to check it out”

The event starts at 12pm Saturday at Sir John Guise Indoor Stadium, entry is K2 with all proceeds to be donated to charity.
