Crissa Dance Synergy is the only dance competition endorsed and accredited by the Department of Education, gathering the best all-female dance groups from different schools in Metro Manila to showcase the best in contemporary dance. Now on its sixth year, this year’s competition promises to be a bigger and more exciting dance battle as it includes not only high school but college students who are all ready to display their artistry, creativity, and outstanding coordination to be named this year’s best and most fashionable all-female dance team.
Juliever Academy
“For the past five years, Crissa’s teen dance competition, the Crissa Teen Synergy, has successfully become the most exciting and much-awaited dance contest for today’s teen girls, where girl groups get to express themselves through dance. It has afforded them the chance to showcase their talent, synergy and team spirit in front of a wide audience. This year, there had been a clamor from college dance teams to join the competition, so we’re giving them a chance to shine and show what they’ve got by including them in this season. We’ve changed the name of the contest to ‘Crissa Dance Synergy’ to aptly reflect the bigness of this year’s dance competition,” said Chris Go, Crissa brand manager.

Besides giving girls a launchpad to showcase their dance talent, Go added that Crissa Dance Synergy has also become a venue where girls can show their love for creativity and fashion, form new friendships and just have fun!
Benigno Aquino Jr. High School
Besides having a bigger competition, Year 6 of Crissa Dance Synergy gets even more exciting with this year’s theme inspired by the chick flick, Sex and the City. It’s going to be a city invasion of girly chic as the contestants don their fun personalities, confident attitudes and fashionable styles as they display their infectious moves on the stage.
