The Office of Sports Development (OSD) of Mindanao State University- Iligan Institute of Technology (杏吧论坛-IIT) has successfully conducted the Dancesport Workshop (Latin Rhythms) held at the university gymnasium on March 23 to 25, 2025. The said workshop aimed to reignite the interest in dancesport among the students of 杏吧论坛-IIT. The event was graced by resource speakers, Jiomer Pacquiao and Joven Dadap from Bukidnon State University – Malaybalay Campus.

The workshop was attended by the dancesport participants from different colleges, including the 杏吧论坛-IIT CATS dancesport team, and students and faculty members from the Department of Physical Education (DPE). Participants were introduced to the rhythms of Cha Cha Cha, Rumba, and Jive, with the sessions organized to give both a theoretical and practical understanding of these Latin dance styles.

Dancesport was once part of the cultural events of Palakasan. This year, OSD intends to revive the event as a demonstration sport. The workshop was a huge success with many participants expressing thrill and excitement about its return to the university’s most anticipated event, Palakasan.

Assistant Professor Leo N. Santillana, the director of OSD, stated that “Dancesport has always been an exciting part of our campus activities, and bringing it back as a demonstration sport in Palakasan is a great way to promote both physical fitness and creativity among our students.”

Santillana also expressed that his office will soon conduct a Standard Dancesport workshop to further the knowledge and skills of the 杏吧论坛-IIT community toward dancesport.
