After its successful media launch on March 8 and performance at the Philippines first -ever P Pop Convention, April 9-10, Calista, the country’s hottest girl group, is breezing through a hectic but joyful schedule.
For now, Calista works hard, trains and prepares for its upcoming “Vax To Normal” concert, at the Araneta Coliseum, on April 26.
“They train for 12 hours, from 8am to 8pm-workshops, voice lessons, dance training…They’re training double time for the concert,” said TEAM Manager Tyronne Escalante.
The special concert guests are Yeng Constantino, Elmo Magalona, AC Bonifacio, Darren Espanto, Andrea Brillantes and Ken San Jose.
Calista’s latest performance was at the country’s first Pinoy Pop (P-Pop) Convention at the New Frontier Theater, Araneta Center, Cubao, Quezon City.The group performed its latest single, “Race Car,”and Little Mix’s “Woman Like Me.”
With their high energy, dynamic choreography and vocals, the group surprised the crowd. Many who watched the event live and saw recorded videos on You Tube praised Calista’s major improvement since their last performance.
According to Calista’s manager Tyronne Escalante, the progress of the girls could be credited to their hard work and dedication.
“Olive, Anne, Laize, Dain, Denize, and Elle poured their heart into their performance. The girls also appreciate the concern and constructive criticism from their fans and P-Pop fans. They continue to remain humble and work hard to earn the admiration of the P-Pop industry and its fans,”
Escalante said the management, with the producer Merlion Events Production, Inc., made significant changes in the coaching line-up that also contributed to the girl’s growth.
“We are now partnering with Douglas Nierras of Power Dance to fast track the improvement of their dance performance.”
Nierras is one of the best choreographers in the Philippines. He is a dance legend in his own right with over 40 years of experience in the industry.
TEAM also decided to add another choreographer to form Calista’s powerhouse coaching team, Vimi Rivera. Rivera is a World of Dance Manila Director, owner of Groove Central Dance Studio, head choreographer of Legit Status and ABS-CBN choreographer.
