Since 2004, Club Mwah is the one and only Las Vegas
inspired show-stopping performance bar in the Philippines, still giving us jaw
dropping show that only they can offer, one name behind the colorful costumes
and grand production numbers is Chris Nicolas, the in house Choreographer,
Director and Designer, and the only one Diva of their center stage.
“Sa totoo lang in the Philippines, etu lang ang may
ganitong seryosong show, iba hindi tumatagal, etu yung pang long lasting entertainment,
etu yun eh.” Nicolas said.
Nicolas not known to many is a former member of Bayanihan
Dance Company, a graduate of Physical Education at the Philippine Normal
College, start as a dancer in 2004 during the establishment of Club Mwah, after
that he takes over as a choreographer until now. He draws his inspirations depends
on her audiences, he believes that it’s a constant change, that they need to
keep creating production numbers that people will love.
“Passion ko talaga ang sumayaw, pag nakakarinig ako ng
music lumalabas ang mga ideas, na parang gusto mong i-interpret.” Nicolas
explain.
Follies De Mwah is the term for all the dancers
performing in their bar, for many generations they develop and help a lot of
dancers across all genders, as the master choreographer he sees to it that the
one they select are in line with their standards, first is the height, the
willingness to learn even though don’t have a background in dancing, and lastly
the attitude to which Nicolas said is the most important part of their
requirement.
“Una ang height, iba yung matangkad, easy to pick up
steps, kahit hindi sya marunong, wala syang formal training sa dancing, and ang
Attitude, wag madaling ma-hurt kapag kino-korek, kailangan welcome sa correction,
kasi puro corrections dito, hindi yung
napagalitan lang nagpa-paalam na, sayang naman.” Nicolas added.
In the past 16 years, Nicolas admit to us that it is not
easy running a Club like this, they spend millions of pesos for their costumes
in all their numbers, and that’s not easy to return, with all the different
kind of Clubs around Metro Manila offering many things they feel that they are
not in competition with them.
“Dumating yung
time na gusto ko ng tumigil, sabi ng mga friends ko, Chris wag naman wala naman kasing ganyang
dito, kaya nanghihinayang ako. Kung makakakita ako ng isang lugar na may
napakagandang show, sabihin na nating mas maganda sa amin, gi-give up na ako,
kayo naman. Since wala nakakahinayang naman.” Nicolas said in closing.
Nicolas is optimistic in the coming months, soon they
will open a new Comedy Bar and they are reviving in catering the tourists

Are you the kind of person that always looks to see what kind of expensive your neighbor's kid is playing? Or are you worried about what your friends are making as far as their salary? Not happy in your marriage, friendships, or not being satisfied with what you have at the moment? Some people are wondering, why despite the fact that I am just a stay-at-home mother and a not-so-full-time photographer, we are still able to manage to go through the day to day lives being happy and having no (or at times with quite a few) debts from other people. It's just a matter of perspective actually. You need to learn the art of contentment. Being content is not being driven by always wanting more. I know that ambition is a prized trait in our society. I am not saying that ambition is wrong. What I am saying is that the constant striving for more and not enjoying what you have or where you are at the moment will drive you crazy. Things do and will change. Have the at...
