Jema Galanza is truly a gem, proving she’s not just a volleyball ace but a dancing dynamo as well.

The Creamline Cool Smashers star continues to dazzle beyond the court, revealing her multi-talented persona. From being a PBA muse to showcasing her flair for dance, Jema is the epitome of grace and versatility.

Recently, a video from One Sports went viral, showing Jema dancing to BINI at the Big Dome ahead of their game against the Choco Mucho Flying Titans in the 2024 PVL All-Filipino Conference.

In her first-ever YouTube vlog, the 2024 PVL All-Filipino Conference Finals MVP takes fans behind the scenes as she steps into a dance studio to take on the challenge of covering "Clik Clak" by BABYMONSTER.

“Alam niyo naman na isa sa mga passion ko ay ang pagsasayaw. Kaya naman samahan niyo ako today as I change court to dancing,” Jema shared in her vlog.

Teaming up with sports producer Sam Corrales, Jema trades her volleyball spikes for dance shoes, bringing her love for dancing to life and revealing another dazzling side of her sweet and radiant personality.

Jema’s passion for dance has been with her since childhood.

“Bata din ako nahilig [sumayaw]. Sa mga Christmas party, doon mo talaga nalalabas ‘yong mga talent mo, eh,” she reminisced.

She also shared that she used to choreograph simple steps for her friends.

“Minsan, simpleng steps, ako ‘yong nagtuturo sa mga friends ko. Matagal na talaga akong nahihilig. And matagal na rin akong nahilig sa K-pop,” Jema added, emphasizing how her love for music and dance has always been a part of her life.

During the pandemic, Jema revealed that she visited a dance studio in her province to pass the time. While it wasn’t her first time taking a dance class, she was excited to see what she could learn.

“No’ng pandemic, so medyo lumuwag-luwag na [ang quarantine restrictions], merong studio doon sa province namin. Dahil wala akong magawa, nanood lang ako ng K-pop videos, pinag-aralan ko ‘yong steps, then natutunan ko naman siya. Pero kapag tinitignan ko ‘yong sarili ko sa video, parang ang weird. Parang hindi ko masyadong nakukuha ‘yong steps, ‘yong itsura ba nila,” she shared.

“I think kung may magtuturo sa akin baka mas okay siya,” she added, expressing how having guidance could improve her dancing skills.

After warm-ups and training, Jema has finally nailed the choreography for “Clik Clak” by BABYMONSTER.

With her signature swag not just on the court but also on the dance floor, Jema proves she’s a true performer. But of course, her magnetic personality shines through even more.

Despite her busy volleyball schedule, dancing has become Jema’s outlet, allowing her to express herself more freely.

“Dahil sobrang busy ko rin na naglalaro ng volleyball, eto ‘yong, sabi nga nila, time para malabas ko kung ano ‘yong nafe-feel ko na mas free ako, na kung ano talaga ako,” she explained.

“For two hours na nagsayaw ako, nakakatuwa. At least sa two hours, may nakuha ako. May natutunan akong steps, nakuha ko siya agad. And syempre, hindi ko rin siya magagawa kung hindi dahil kila coach at kay Sam. Sana may next time pa,” she added.

It’s inspiring to see how athletes like Jema continue to grow and explore their passions beyond the volleyball court.
