Before SB19 and other P-pop groups ever graced the concert stage, there were the Universal Motion Dancers (UMD) and Streetboys who have amassed a solid fandom behind them.
UMD, Streetboys, and other popular 70s, 80s, and 90s Filipino dance legends, as well as some iconic artists are raring for a 2025 grand reunion, and they are set to appear in one major show on November 4 at the Big Dome.
Talent manager Gio Medina, who used to be an in-house dancer for ‘Eat Bulaga’ for nearly a decade back in the day, shared some details about the upcoming reunion concert during the relaunch of his salon in Quezon City over the weekend.
Medina shared that the concert will be graced by the ’90s boy groups Universal Motion Dancers or UMD (Wowie de Guzman, James Salas, Jim Salas, Gerry Oliva, Marco McKinley, and Norman Santos), Streetboys (Vhong Navarro, Danilo Barrios, Chris Cruz, and Nicko Manalo), and Manoeuvres (Joshua Zamora, Jason Zamora, Michael Flores, Jon Supan, Reden Cruz, Jhon Cruz, and Rene Sagaran).
The show’s lineup also includes renowned choreographers Geleen Eugenio, Maribeth Bichara, Mel Feliciano, and the dance duo The Aldeguer Sisters. Medina also teased the special participation of Jojo Alejar, Amanda Page, Ara Mina, Carmi Martin, Eula Valdez, Gardo Versoza, Jackie Lou Blanco, Regine Tolentino, and Roderick Paulate, among others.
Medina, who is also set to perform at the concert, said there will be more surprise guests at the upcoming reunion titled ‘D’Legends on the Dance Floor,’ as they aim to bring solid nostalgia to the fans.
‘Gardo Versoza, machete, sasayaw ng naka-heels! Ang daming pasabog. I think Sexbomb din nandoon. Lahat nandoon. Complete. Magrereminisce talaga (Gardo Versoza, machete, dancing in heels! Lots of surprises. I think Sexbomb is also there. Everyone is there. Complete. It will be a total reminisce),’ the talent manager told select members of the press. /edv
