In a recent interview, Yatar was asked about his preparation heading into the World Finals.
“I did a lot of things. First was physical conditioning. I went to the gym and strengthen my body from head to toe. Also, I continued my training sa dance. I took classes so I can expand ‘yung vocabulary ng body ko and my way of moving. I went to Singapore, La Union, and Manila to test ‘yung current skills ko atsaka ‘yung ano ‘yung current condition ng katawan ko to see kung ano pa ‘yung p’wede ko i-improve.” he stated.
Carrying on Yatar’s preparation and his impressive showing from the National Finals, the 31-year-old Waacking Superstar from Baguio City is determined more than ever to carry on his momentum heading into the World Finals and bring home the title of the best dancer in the world.
