| THE VIP DANCERS VIP History It all started when Ms. Maribeth Bichara - then a struggling dancers, choreographer, and artist - formed a group of eight dancers for televisions show called "Vilma In Person", each member received a meager salary of P150.00 per show. Yet, ever since, financial considerations were secondary to their pursuit of dance excellence. They invested their genuine talents and spent endless hours of rehearsals to become the most versatile, all-around dancers in the country. Years of hardwork, professionalism and unified efforts have paid off. They are now the busiest dancers on television and some of its members have even conquered the international scene in theater, ballroom competitions and cabarets. The 1988 and 1997 Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Awardee for Most Popular Dance Group, the V.I.P has indeed come a long, long way... TELEVISIONS SHOWS .Keep On Dancing . Eezy Dancing .

| It all started when Ms. Maribeth Bichara - then a
struggling dancer, choreographer, and artist -
formed a group of eight dancers for a television
show called "Vilma In Person", each
member received a meager salary of
P150.00 per show. Yet, ever since,
financial considerations were
secondary to their pursuit of dance
excellence. They invested their
genuine talents and spent endless
hours of rehearsals to become the
most versatile, all-around dancers in the country. Years of hardwork, professionalism and unified efforts have paid off. They are now elevated and respected figures the in Popular Filipino Dance Arts ,from television to film and live performances ,some of its members graduated into the behind scenes of production from choreographers to directors and even conquered the international scene in theater, ballroom competitions and cabarets.The 1988 and 1997 Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Awardee for The Most Popular Dance Group, the V.I.P has indeed come a long, long way and I will always be grateful for being a part of this family since 1987and still counting ,once a VIP always a VIP for Life |
