Apart from the participants’ jaw-dropping moves and heart-thumping stunts, the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Cheerdance Competition is also about bringing the teams’ stunning beauties to the center stage. They are the epitome of tough ladies—dancing and performing with the strength of a dozen men while beaming and cheering for the audience to get on their feet.
