Last August 7 to 12, 2017, the Asian Grand Prix International Ballet Competition was held in Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, where a number of talented ballet dancers demonstrated their talents and potentials in the said field. Among a great number of participants who participated in the said event, Filipino ballerina, Rench Isaac Soriano, was awarded with the highest award.

Soriano started his ballet training when he was 9 years old and began joining competitions at 10. Despite the difficulties in learning ballet, he has already developed a special affection for the art.“It’s hard at first. The first time is always the hardest. It was really unimaginable. It was really unexpected. I can’t even explain it, but I’m so happy not just for myself, but for my family, for my country, and for my province, Bacolod as well.” Soriano said.

Soriano is very happy with his current win because there are many great dancers who participated and it was very difficult to achieve the highest award, yet he still managed to achieve it at the age of 16.
