According to Aileen F. Mojackarin, the Dance Sports Organizer, the contestants were made to dance in three categories, namely Cha Cha, Rumba, and Jive. “They were required to dance in an individual showdown wherein the couples were given a chance to showcase their moves per partner and then in the final derby in which all the couples shared the dance floor together,” stated Mojackarin.
The following municipalities participated in the said dance contest: Ipil, Roseller T. Lim, Naga, Tungawan, Payao, Olutanga, and Alicia. Of the seven, only four made it to the final round: Ipil, Roseller T. Lim, Naga, and Payao.
