MANILA, Philippines — Regular viewers of "ASAP" for the past two decades know that Shaina Magdayao was among the most-sought after dancers with her Ultimate Dance 4 crew Maja Salvador, Rayver Cruz and John Prats until she quit eight years ago.
Last December, she delighted her fans by gracing the "ASAP" stage once again, showing that her dancing prowess has not waned.
Last week, she sizzled the Sunday show's dance floor in red dress dancing the flamenco in a production number with notable OPM singers, Gary V and Martin Nievera.
The dancer-actress said that her return to the dance floor is a perfect timing, an apt celebration for her 25 years in showbiz that started with her as the child wonder who easily cries buckets of tears in the 1996 GMA-7 afternoon drama "Lyra."
"It's a dream, it's a side of me, a part of my life na kinailangan kong talikuran because I got diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I was gaining weight and parang to the point na nagkakaroon na ako ng injuries. [Like] Back injury. ['Yung] Right knee nagka-MCL na ako because of my weight," Shaina revealed at a recent presscon.
