G-Force’s artistic director Georcelle Dapat-Sy, known to most as Teacher Georcelle or TG, is offering a new dance class this summer billed as #WhiteShirtLove. It is a dance fitness class designed for females of all ages.
TG admitted that she originally conceptualized it as a class for mothers. “Originally, the title of the class was ‘Foxy Moms.’ But I realized that it is beneficial for women of all ages so I decided to introduce this class as a fitness program for all women, to make them feel empowered. It is actually a good workout – a program that could help enhance one’s body sculpture. This class could help trim bellies, tone legs, arms, buttocks and other areas that they want to improve on. A perfect program that would definitely boost their confidence,” she said.
TG, who is behind the fabulous production numbers we see on “ASAP” every Sunday, will handle the class herself, making it doubly special for participants.
G-Force started offering dance workshops via the G-Force Project in 2008. They offer classes for participant ages three and up, as spearheaded by homegrown choreographers.
TG said, “I would always go back to the group’s core, on why we are doing the G-Force Project. Our students look up to us. They don’t only want to become G-Force but to build their individualities as aspiring dancers and choreographers as well. We want the G-Force in-house teachers to personally guide them, we want to share the gift of dance.”
Another special class for this year’s G-Force Project is “Me and My Little Force” aimed towards kiddies three to five years olds and their parents, guardians, older relatives or even yayas, to foster bonding.
Asked who she thinks are the Top 3 dancers among the Kapamilya stars, TG cited Sarah Geronimo (“her grooves come from the heart she’s a natural dance”), Anne Curtis (“she’s sexy, naughty and has her own flavor to give”) and KC Concepcion (“for being equipped and skilled because she has a background in dance”).
She added, “During my younger years, sina Gary Valenciano, Vina Morales and Rachel Alejandro ang Top 3 ko. When I was 18, I handled all of Rachel’s concerts. She was part of my journey…”
The G-Force studio is located along Mother Ignacia St. in Quezon City.
Their grand recital, considered as the biggest and most lavish hereabouts, is slated on May 29 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Kuh Ledesma Mounts Second Art Exhibit
Kuh Ledesma’s reason to paint has always been clear – to promote the power of healing and to spread the good message as based on the Bible.
This year, she hopes her second exhibit – on April 8 at Whitespace, Pasong Tamo in Makati City – will raise enough funds to produce an independent film entitled “Hilom,” which will be based on true stories and real accounts.
“It is my hope that this film will expose the perils of believing in albularyos (folk healers) and to believe in the power of the word of God and the power of prayer,” the acclaimed singer-actress said.
The cellos in her painting represent Psalm 95:2 that reads, “Let us come before Him with thanksgiving and extol Him with music and song.” While her imposing artworks of vines and branches were inspired by John 15:5 that says, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”
“Becoming a Bible believer and follower of Jesus has made me realize that we are to give God glory in all we do and so how wonderful the beauty of purpose,” she said.
Ledesma started painting in high school but when she went to Bacolod for college her focus shifted. After college, her singing career took off and she thought she was content with that.
“Over the years I found out that it is not good for us to bury our talents. He has a purpose for what he gives us. God gives some people more talents and gifts and it is important to him that we use it to give him glory,” Ledesma said.
