EXCITED na ang Dance Fitness Diva na si Regine Tolentino sa grand coronation night ng binuo niyang Mister and Miss Dance Fitness Philippines 2017. Ang naturang pageant for licensed dance fitness instructors ay bahagi ng bonggang dance event na ZStarball Fire And Ice 2017, na organized ng ZStars Philippines, na pinamumunuan ni Regine, katulong ang kanyang RT Studios, 4.0 Events Management at Flanax Philippines. Gaganapin ito sa Sabado, Oct. 14, 8 p.m., sa Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria.
“Yung pageant we started it last year to find ‘yung pinaka-iconic na dance fitness instructors that can represent the brand and the title well. Last year we started with Miss Dance Fitness Philippines and very successful siya. And so this time we thought of having a male pageant as well, kaya Mister and Miss Dance Fitness Philippines 2017. We have different nominees from all over the Philippines and meron din sa abroad.”
