Exciting ang stage nang i-kickoff ang first round ng Audition Celebrity Dance Battle. Dominic, Vaness, Ryza and Rainier brought to life the very popular online casual dance game sa kanilang energetic performances at colorful and cute costumes. They grooved to music from Dance Battle Audition mismo! Naging very close ang competition. The panel of judges--composed of Geleen Eugenio, Regine Tolentino and X-Play's Jason Tomas— voted for Vaness and Dominic as the judge's choice. "We were looking for a pair with the most powerful dance moves and, of course, 'yung malakas ang stage presence. This pair we chose had a good tandem and [was] full of energy," explained Geleen of their pick. Round one Audistas Pero, true to the contest mechanics na ang votes of the audience are factored-in together with judge's totals, host Heart Evangelista announced the eventual round one winners as Ryza and Rainier, matapos i-tally ang text votes at ang judges’ scores. Tuwag-tuwa sa kanilang panalo, the Audista tandem said, "We are so happy that we will be in the Finals. It made all our hard work worth the time and effort, especially for our charity-partner and the family who will share the prize with us." Geleen afterwards noted, "We love the performances. We can see that the celebrities really worked hard to learn the steps. We looked for strong stage presence and how well the contestants danced as a pair. But the viewers will also have their say as their opinion matters as well. This is also a popularity contest." Sa second elimination round this coming Sunday, May 31, it will be a dance-off naman between celebrity Audista pairs Mark Herras and Chynna Ortaleza; and JC Tiuseco and Yasmien Kurdi. Ang winner nitong second round will get to face Ryza and Rainier in the grand finals to be held on June 6. Ang pair na magwawagi ay mananalo ng P100,000, fifty percent of which will go to the winning pair's beneficiary, courtesy of X-Play's charity partner, IP Foundation.
