The Cordillera Connection (TCC), a registered charity in the United Kingdom (Charity No.: 1152344), with its operating name, British-Filipino Foundation (BFF), is currently organising Filipino-British Summer Dance Festival, an event aimed to raise funds for its charity works in the Philippines. Due to public demand, we have changed it to a summer festival instead of the ballroom dance competition to cater everyone.

Currently, we are supporting poor university students and assisting hundreds of chronically ill poor patients. Just recently, through the initiative of our very supportive medical doctors, we had conducted a medical mission which focused on women’s health through free health education, check-up and screening for breast and cervical cancer.

The summer dance festival features variety of dances for attendees to enjoy and is also aimed to realise one of our charity goals; the preservation of culture, arts, and heritage. The event is open to the public and it highlights a talent showdown competition which is open to all solo, duo or groups who want to showcase their dance talent or skills in an open category.

• Open to all nationalities: solo, duo, or group
• Contestants can pick any accompanying sounds or music of their choice for the performance that they intended to showcase (e.g. singing, line dancing, ballroom, pop, etc). Contestants can showcase more than one talent; backing tracks saved on a USB or other media accessible to general PA system. Live streaming on YouTube or other online streaming are not allowed.
• Contestants must practice at their own time and initiative.
