They also have Zumba class under Rein Navarro, she was voted as the Teacher of the year. Aside from Zumba she also teaches Rocklib, an advance hip-hop class. Rein shows leadership but remains kind to every student's need, eager to push the limits she truly deserves the award.

Rein leads the audience to a Zumba dance at the event finale.

Jazzfunk advance was under Macky De Guzman while beginners was under Mikki de Mesa, it is a fusion of jazz and hip-hop. Many students enrolled here.

One of the most interesting class was Dancehall under Calvin Metran, Addlib's Assistant Artistic Director. It's a genre of 70's music, upbeat and the performance really requires a proper training.

Girlicious was a sexy hot dance also under Calvin's supervision.

And Artistic Director Joe Abuda teaches Master Class for the advance level.
