Mary Joy Renigen and her real-life partner Mark Jayson Gayon claimed two gold medals and a silver medal at the Dancesport competition held last Dec. 1 at the Royce Hotel in Clark, Pampanga. The winning dancing duo ruled the Foxtrot and Waltz events, while finishing behind Vietnam in Quickstep.
"Even if we tried to relax and be ready, we were subconsciously dancing and practicing in our sleep. The pressure was intense," Renigen told ESPN5.com.
In an interview with ABS-CBN News, the pair revealed that that they are in a four-year relationship."Super tested yung relationship namin through dancing kasi minsan ‘yung pasensya mo. Everyday kami magkasama and minsan yung galit namin about each other ay about dancing na," shared Renigen.
