In this episode of the Project 7 to 1 Podcast, Carlo Ople
sits down with Jesse “Reflex” Gotangco—one of the pioneers of
Philippine breaking and street dance. An internationally
acclaimed B-boy, choreographer, educator, and mentor, Reflex has
represented the Philippines on the global stage, winning
international titles such as the R16 Southeast Asia Solo
Championship and helping elevate Filipino street dance through
competition, coaching, and education. Beyond the battle floor, he
has also served as a faculty member at Ateneo de Manila
University and has mentored countless dancers who have gone on to
excel in the local and international scene.

The conversation explores his journey from discovering
dance at a young age to turning his passion into a lifelong
profession. Reflex shares the realities of building a sustainable
career in the arts, the evolution of Philippine street dance, and
the discipline, mindset, and creativity required to compete at
the highest level. Carlo and Reflex also discuss the importance
of mentorship, cultivating the next generation of dancers, and
why Filipino talent continues to earn respect on the world
stage.

Expect an inspiring conversation about purpose,
perseverance, and proving that with enough passion and hard work,
it’s possible to transform an unconventional dream into a
meaningful career.
