Golden Rhythm: Tibungco dancesport team shines in Vietnam Festival
The winning streak of the Tibungco Dancesport Team (TDT) continues to dazzle the international stage, this time at the prestigious WDSF Vietnam Dancesport Festival held from July 9 to 13, 2025, in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Representing the Philippines with pride and poise, TDT dancers Gavin Tangara and Reyben Mari Semilla brought home a gold and a silver medal. The pair clinched the gold in the KTOC Adult Single Dance Waltz category and secured a silver in the KTOC Adult Single Dance Viennese Waltz, showcasing elegance, precision, and discipline in their performance.

Earlier in the competition, their junior teammates from TDT, Bhenz Rudolf Owen Semilla and Francheska Dezzly Darvin, also delivered a stellar performance. The young duo captured three gold medals and one bronze. Their golds came from the KTOC Youth Single Dance categories in Slow Waltz, Viennese Waltz, and Foxtrot. They also earned a bronze in the highly competitive WDSF Youth Open category.

The success of the Tibungco Dancesport Team is a result of rigorous training and world-class mentorship under coaches Julie Flintham and Jeah Yonac, who have consistently guided the dancers to hone their skills and compete with excellence on the global stage.

With each win, TDT continues to raise the Philippine flag in the international dancesport community, proving that discipline, talent, and passion can lead to gold.
