Eighth grader Amidala Josial Aguirre showcased exceptional poise, artistry, and discipline at the ABAP International Dance Competition (AIDC) 2026 held at Maybank Theatre, BGC.

Competing against dancers from leading ballet academies, she earned 1st Place in Ballet Ensemble, 3rd Place in Junior 5 Classical Ballet Solo, and 4th Place in Senior 1 Classical Ballet Solo—where she was the youngest participant.

Her graceful stage presence, refined technique, and expressive artistry truly reflect the beauty and dedication of classical ballet.
Take a bow, Amidala!
