For Melencio, dancing –and winning–never stops
Church Street Blackpool in London.
The eldest in a family of dancers, Melencio first got noticed overseas when she swept the Junior Open Standard and Latin categories of the Singapore Millennium International Open DanceSports Championships in 2004.
She also has in her collection the Philippine Juvenile Latin and Standard titles from 1998 to 2000 and the Junior Latin and Standard crowns of the World Superstars Dance Festival in Tokyo, Japan, in 2002.
At the second International Sports Games “Children of Asia” Sports Dancing Event Junior 1 Latin American Discipline in Yakutsk, Russia, in 2000, she wound up ninth among hundreds of participants.
Melencio has trained and produced dozens of competitive pairs since 2007 when she was just 17— including rising amateur star Judilyn Melencio, her sister, and Benny Co.
It’s a great feeling to share your knowledge in dancesports but I still compete and win,” she said.
