Marian Rivera says dancing is her No. 1 love: 'Hindi mawawala sa daloy ng dugo ko ang pagsasayaw'
In Nelson Canlas' report in "24 Oras" Tuesday, the Kapuso Primetime Queen shared that dancing is her "number one" love.
"Hindi mawawala sa daloy ng dugo ko ang pagsasayaw dahil number one love ko 'yan talaga, ang dance," she said.
The Kapuso Primetime Queen is among the judges aka "dance authority" of the upcoming Kapuso dance competition "Stars on the Floor."
Although she said that she would have been a teacher if she weren't an actress, she added, "Hindi mawawala 'yung dancing kasi sa pamilya ni papa and sa family ni mama, lahat kami mahilig sumayaw."
According to Marian, her husband, Dingdong Dantes, is also a good dancer. The Kapuso Primetime King was once part of the '90s all-male dance group Abztract Dancers, after all.
Her daughter, Zia, has also taken an interest in dancing apart from singing and playing the piano.
"'Yun ang tinatawag na quota 'yung anak ko. Lahat ginagawa niya. Kumakanta, sumasayaw,nag-p-piano, lahat talaga ginagawa ng anak kong 'yun," she said.
Aside from Marian, Pokwang and SB19 choreographer coach Jay Roncesvalles are also judges in "Stars on the Floor."
Pokwang shared that viewers will see different personas of her in the show, adding that she is happy to be a part of it.
"Nakakabata 'yung show na 'to. Nadadamay ako sa ano nila, and I'm so so happy na napasama ako sa show na 'to kasi 'yung energy nila," she said.
"Stars on the Floor" will be hosted by Alden Richards, who will also have a dance production number on the show.
It will begin airing on GMA Network on June 28.
