Grace in Motion: Eleanor Hayco Inspires Both Onstage and Behind the Scenes
In a dazzling display of excellence, DanceSport Team Cebu City (DTCC) Chairwoman Ms. Eleanor Hayco continues to set the gold standard—literally and figuratively—for the next generation of dancers. Her recent triumphs are not just medals; they’re milestones in a legacy of leadership, passion, and community-building.
On August 24, Eleanor clinched the gold medal in Senior 1A Latin at the PSC-PDSF Cebu WDSF Open—a DanceSport competition, which she also helped organize. Balancing the roles of competitor and event architect, she proved that true leaders don’t just guide from the sidelines—they dance at the heart of the movement.
Organizing the PSC-PDSF Cebu WDSF Open while preparing for competition is no small feat. Eleanor’s ability to lead with elegance and execute with precision inspires not only her peers but also the young dancers who look up to her as a role model. Her work behind the scenes and brilliance on the floor reflect the kind of leadership that builds legacies.
Just weeks later, on September 7, Eleanor soared again, winning gold in the Senior Open Latin Category at the prestigious 14th Kings Cup Thailand Open Closed Asia 2025, one of Asia’s most competitive DanceSport stages. Her back-to-back victories are a testament to her discipline, artistry, and unwavering commitment to the sport.
From organizing world-class events to conquering international dance floors, Ms. Eleanor Hayco exemplifies what it means to lead with heart, grit, and grace. Her journey is a powerful reminder that when passion meets purpose, the rhythm never fades—it only grows stronger.
The Kings Cup Thailand wasn’t just a stage for Eleanor—it was a proud moment for the entire DanceSport Cebu family. Congratulations to:
- Wilbert and Pearl for securing 4th place
