Muevelo dance contest

On May 26 2010, TVN channel 2 will show the second season of Muévelo. This is the dance contest in which 10 Panamanian schools will show their choreographic skills.

Muévelo means move it and these teams will definitely be showing off their best dance moves.  A relentless panel will be judging them by discipline and dancing skills to know who will be the next champion of the Intercolegial de Coreografías.

Most of the evaluation will depend on the judges, and they’ll focus most likely on the team’s discipline.  The public will have also the opportunity to participate by voting on TVN’s website for their favorite dance team. The two schools with fewer amounts of votes will have to face a challenge against each other. The panel will then decide who is the one that continues in the competition.

Muévelo 2009 judges were:

  • Yael Bern: Professional Dancer and choreographer, founder of Tempo Dance Academy.
  • Edwin Cedeno: Artistic, scenic and corporative  projection adviser.
  • Moyra Brunette: Professional Dancer and choreographer, she belonged to the Venevision International Great Ballet in Caracas Venezuela.

The three finalist schools of Muévelo 2009 were, in third place taking home B/5000 “Bilingue La Academia”, in second place “El Instituto America” and the great champion “San Judas Tadeo,” who took home B/12000 and other awards. The final score was a very close call; the third and second place had a punctuation of 72.10 and 73.40; the first place got a final punctuation of 76.30.

The students should be aware that to participate in Muévelo they cannot have low grades. One of the requirements is that each participant should have an average grade point of 3.5/5 and also be between 15 to 18 years old.  That is why before entering to the contest each student needs to give producers last year’s grades and their birth certificate.

Each team’s choreography should be innovative, original, and talented, and as a team they will pass for many challenges.

Muévelo is a great production that shows the dancing skills of the Panamanian youth. The auditions started on April, and we will know the 10 participant schools soon.
