Beginning March 22, Filipinos will be in for some intense dance floor action as TV5 premieres the newest competition that will have viewers glued to their TV screens every week: Celebrity Dance Battle.

To be hosted by THE one and only Dance Goddess of Philippine television, Ms Lucy Torres-Gomez, Celebrity Dance Battle brings the ballroom dance competition to a whole new level by pitting celebrities against each other and pairing them up with dance partners who are determined to take their battle all the way to the championship. Co-hosting the show with the Dance Goddess are NCAA heartthrobs Anthony and David Semerad – who are also collectively known as the Semerad Twins.

For its launch month, Celebrity Dance Battle presents its first batch of celebrity contestants who come from varied fields of interests. PBA fans will be surprised and amazed to see their favorite hard court “El Granada” Gary David doing his fancy footwork on the dance floor. Will his dance moves make him the “El Granada” of the dance arena as well? Actress-host Valerie Concepcion, on the other hand, is ready to heat up the dance floor with her trademark sultry moves. Another beautiful woman, Priscilla Meirelles, is set to prove that her body is back in form and ready to showcase her dance prowess once again. And speaking of beautiful women, transgender beauty and Miss International Queen 2012 titleholder Kevin Balot is also raring to wow audiences with her surprising ballroom stunts.

Who among Gary David, Valerie Concepcion, Priscilla Meirelles and Kevin Balot will emerge as the first monthly winner who will compete in the Celebrity Dance Battle grand finals? Their performances will undergo expert scrutiny and critique from the show’s distinguished panel of judges – comprised of renowned choreographer and dance guru Douglas Nierras, international ballroom professional and dance sport Olympian Edna Ledesma, actress-host and dance diva G Toengi, and professional model and international celebrity Allison Harvard (of America’s Next Top Model fame).

Celebrity Dance Battle airs on TV5 every Saturday, 7:45pm, starting on March 22.
