Off the dance floor, Dasuri Choi and Rodjun Cruz have turned their partnership into a true friendship.

In an Instagram post, Dasuri shared a compilation of their rehearsal videos along with an appreciation message for Rodjun, thanking him for making her feel comfortable during their performances.

“From the very beginning, I was never the type who felt comfortable dancing with a partner. I grew up surrounded by girls. No liftings, no touching, no trusting someone to hold me mid-air, and honestly, I was scared. Scared of heights, scared of falling, scared of letting go. And honestly, I was scared. Scared of heights, scared of falling, scared of letting go,” she said.

However, when Rodjun became her dance partner, her anxiety and doubts slowly disappeared.

“You never rushed me. You never made me feel small for being afraid. You simply guided me one step, one lift, one smile at a time,” she explained.

Dasuri added, “You made me believe that “safe” and “strong” can exist together. That trust can turn fear into flight. And that partnership is not about who leads or follows. It's about how 2 hearts move as 1 in rhythm and respect.”

Despite their “failed lifts, missed beats, and countless “again, again, again,” they have found “rhythm, patience, and laughter” together.

Dasuri praised Rodjun for never complaining throughout their endless lifting practices. Instead, the digital dance star revealed that Rodjun always brought “light, positivity, and good energy” even when they were tired and bruised from rehearsals.

“Beyond the dance floor, you also reminded me about faith. You showed me how to bring God into everything we do. How to pray before we move, and to trust that there's always a purpose behind every fall and every rise,” she shared.

Not just in dance, Dasuri said Rodjun helped her grow closer to God, strengthening her both as a dancer and as a person.

She expressed, “And maybe what makes this journey even more meaningful is where we are in life. At a time when most people our age are already settled, raising families, and moving on from the stage, we still chose to challenge ourselves to learn, to grow, and to dance like it's our last chance to tell our story. Because passion doesn't fade with age. It only deepens with time, experience, and purpose.”

Dasuri called their Stars on the Floor journey one of “trust, growth, faith, courage, and finding strength in partnership.”

“Thank you, my partner, for your guidance, respect, and heart. You reminded me that with faith in God and the right people beside you, nothing is too heavy to lift,” she wrote.

In the comments section, Rodjun replied with gratitude and appreciation to Dasuri, saying, “Aaaaawww! My partner Champ. Thank you sa tiwala! Appreciate you! Sobrang thankful & grateful ako na ikaw ang partner at ka-duo ko! Ikaw talaga ang The best! Napakahusay mo palagi.”

Rodjun praised Dasuri's hard work, discipline, dedication, and genuine heart, saying that she deserves to be the grand champion. He also applauded Dasuri's humility despite being such a great dancer.

“Wow! Grabe ang SOTF Journey natin. Super thankful kay Lord dahil never niya tayong pinabayaan. Ang daming challenges pero we conquered it together! We did it, partner ! Paulit ulit kong sasabihin na I'm so proud of you! Unstoppable tayo together! I got you, you got me! To God be the Glory!” he added.
