The Cebu Open DanceSport Championship 2014 & 7th Dancesport Sa Sugbu is organized by the DanceSport Team Cebu City (DTCC), a non-stock, non-profit, non-government organization composed of volunteer dance teachers who conduct regular free dancesport workshops and follow-through trainings in Cebu City’s 80 barangays including the remote mountainous areas.

Dancesport Sa Sugbu is a competition for a cause that serves as the culmination activity of hundreds of child trainees (mostly under-privileged). The event provides an opportunity for these barangay child trainees to get a first-hand experience of what it is like joining in a professionally officiated dance competition in the hope that the exposure will instill in them self-discipline, self-confidence, and self-worth. This experience will inspire the children to train harder and aspire for a better future.

DanceSport sa Sugbu is touted to be the “Friendliest Competition in the World”, and home of the Guinness World of Record for Largest Dance Class. It promotes tourism as more than two thousand participants from the Philippines and the Asia Pacific region gather to witness the event and enjoy the sights of world-class island tourist destinations in Cebu.

The event is made possible through the generous support of its Co-Presenters: the Cebu City Government, Cebu Provincial Government, Department of Tourism, Philippine Sports Commission, Cebu City Sports Commission, DanceSport Council of the Philippines, Waterfront Cebu City Hotel, Department of Education Cebu City Division and Commission on Higher Education Cebu City; the Platinum Sponsors: Omega Pain Killer Liniment Pro, Casino Ethyl Alcohol and Lecit-E; the Gold Sponsors: Flawless, Virginia Foods Inc., Julie’s Bakeshop, Port Restaurant, Cebu Parklane International Hotel and Marvi Cojuanco Yulo; the Bronze Sponsor Intellicare; and Media Partners: Alcordo Advertising, SkyCable, ABS-CBN, GMA 7, TV5, Expat Newspaper, The Freeman Newspaper, Sunstar Daily, Cebu Daily News, Love Radio, Y101.
