MANOEUVRES

Pioneers of the Philippine Dance Scene

April 19, 2024 at Aliw Theater, 7pm Satureday, Pasay City.

In the golden era of the 90s, a time when the Philippine concert scene was vibrantly alive with the sound of music, one group moved in ways that captured the heart of the nation. The MANOEUVRES, a name synonymous with electrifying performances and groundbreaking choreography, were not just dancers; they were icons who shaped the landscape of Filipino entertainment.

Their association with Gary Valenciano, affectionately known as Gary V, marked a turning point. Uriel Policarpio, the group’s head choreographer, crafted the “hataw” moves that became a hallmark of Gary V’s electrifying performances. This collaboration catapulted the MANOEUVRES into the spotlight, where they became the go-to dance group for the country’s top entertainers like Regine Velasquez, Sharon Cuneta, Jaya, Martin Nievera, and Pops Fernandez.

But the MANOEUVRES were more than just backup dancers; they were innovators in their own right. In the late 80s and 90s, they stood shoulder to shoulder with groups like Streetboys and Universal Motion Dancers, pioneering a movement that would inspire a whole new generation of dancers.

Beyond the limelight, the members of the MANOEUVRES have ventured into diverse fields such as acting, directing, and choreography. The Zamora brothers took their showbiz exposure into acting and directing, while Jon Supan became a managing director of Hotlegs. Yet, their passion for dance never waned. Almost all original members, including Uriel Policarpio (who heroically recovered from a quadruple bypass surgery) and Rene “Mr. Flex” Sagaran, continue to ignite the dance community with workshops and choreography for shows.

As we look forward to their upcoming performance, let’s celebrate the legacy of the MANOEUVRES. Their story is not just about dance; it’s about passion, innovation, and resilience. They’ve moved through challenges, celebrated triumphs, and most importantly, they’ve moved us.

Join us at the Aliw Theater on Saturday, April 19, 2024, at 7pm for a 90’s super show concert that promises to be an unforgettable journey down memory lane. The MANOEUVRES will be there, moving to the beats of their storied past and the rhythms of their bright future. Don’t miss this chance to witness history in motion.
