The Bohol II Electric Cooperative Inc. (BOHECO II) is inviting dance groups from across Bohol to participate in the “Move to the Beat” dance contest scheduled for September 22, 2026, at the Jagna Cultural Center. The competition will form part of the celebration of the Feast of St. Michael the Archangel, the patron saint of Jagna, and will provide local performers with an opportunity to showcase their creativity and dancing skills. The contest is open to all-male, all-female, or mixed groups with a minimum of five and maximum of 10 members, with only 10 competing slots available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Groups Can Compete for Cash Prizes
The competition offers PHP15,000 for the champion, PHP10,000 for the first runner-up, PHP7,500 for the second runner-up, and PHP1,500 as a consolation prize. Interested groups must register through the official Google Form and submit a demonstration video of their proposed competition performance by September 10, 2026. The organizing committee will evaluate the submitted demos before selecting the groups that will advance to the live competition. Qualified performers will be judged based on choreography, execution, technique, costume and attire, and overall performance, giving participating groups several opportunities to demonstrate their skills on stage.
Celebrating Talent, Community, and Local Culture
The BOHECO II Dance Contest aims to bring together Boholano dance groups in an event that combines entertainment, talent, and community participation.
