Teacher Georcelle Acknowledges 'Artistic Differences' with Sarah Geronimo Amid Alleged Rift
Manila, Philippines - The entertainment industry was abuzz with speculation after renowned choreographer Georcelle Dapat-Sy, popularly known as Teacher Georcelle, acknowledged "artistic differences" between herself and pop star Sarah Geronimo. The revelation came following a text message sent by Dapat-Sy to talent manager Ogie Diaz.
In the message, Dapat-Sy expressed her gratitude to Diaz for asking about the situation rather than speculating. She emphasized that there are no sides to take, as the main objective is to support Sarah Geronimo as she marks her 20th year in the industry. Geronimo, now 35 years old, had been training with Dapat-Sy and her dance group, G-Force, for 16 years.
Dapat-Sy explained that Geronimo is seeking growth both as an artist and as an individual, expressing her desire to explore other opportunities. The choreographer acknowledged the presence of artistic differences and expressed her willingness to support Geronimo as she ventures into this new chapter, even if it means stepping away for a while.
Describing their long-standing collaboration, Dapat-Sy likened their relationship to that of a love team that had lasted for 16 years. However, she stated that Geronimo now wants to try new things. The choreographer emphasized that this transition has been painful for G-Force, with many members, particularly the choreographers, shedding tears. They had devoted immense effort to bring out the best in Geronimo, making the separation feel like a breakup.
Dapat-Sy revealed that she made the decision to step away from Geronimo's team two months ago in March. While she understands and respects her team's understanding of her choice, she expressed her encouragement for Geronimo to experience creative freedom and become the ultimate decision-maker in producing and directing her 20th-anniversary concert.
Responding to the alleged rift, Sarah Geronimo addressed her relationship with G-Force in an interview. She acknowledged the significant role they have played in her career and expressed her desire for them to be present during her milestone celebration. Geronimo admitted that their absence could make her emotional, highlighting the deep bond they share.
The news of the alleged rift between Teacher Georcelle and Sarah Geronimo has left fans and industry insiders curious about the future of their collaboration. As both artists embark on new journeys, their fans eagerly await updates on their respective projects and hope for a resolution to any misunderstandings that may have arisen.
