Basic Dance Clinic

The FDC-Dubai, in association with the Philippine Consulate Generale, Office of the Labor Attache, Overseas Workers Welfare Administration-Filipino Workers’ Resource Center, runs the Dance Clinic thrice every year.

Beginners classes are being conducted for swing, cha-cha, boogie and tango for a period of three months. Volunteer dance instructors and instructresses are all alumni and bonafide members of the FDC-D.

At the end of each clinic, students are required to pass an examination which will lead to a graduation ceremony. Among the graduates, the five best female and five best male dancers will be selected and paired to compete during the graduation ceremony.

Since its inception in 1996, the Dance Clinic program have become one of the most popular socio-cultural activities among the Filipino community in the UAE. From its humble beginnings with only 11 students during its inaugural batch, it now boasts of producing more than 2,000 graduates (as of October 2004).
