PWERSA, previously known as Groove for God, emerged as a fervent testament to the power of dance and fitness within the heart of a simple ministry. In 2015, Kuya Coach Enriquito Adrian “EA” Mojica founded Groove for God in Dubai, as a means to praise and sweat in a program deeply rooted in a small Christian community. However, destiny had more significant plans for this initiative.

Upon returning to the Philippines in January 2017, Kuya Coach EA was invited by Brgy. Capt. Ogie Lapastora to lead a health fitness program in their community. The transformation began as the program’s name shifted from Groove Dance Fitness to its current name, PWERSA or Philippine Wellness Exercise on Rhythmic Style Activities.

The turning point arrived in September 2022 when Kuya Coach EA crossed paths with Ms. Sinclaire Castro, the Sales and Marketing Manager of MSI Philippines. Mesmerized by PWERSA’s impact, they forged a partnership, formalizing the venture legally, with Kuya Coach as President and Ms. Sinclaire Castro as Vice President.

PWERSA set its sights on an ambitious goal—to revolutionize the dance fitness and entertainment industry while promoting health and mental awareness through the art of dance.

At the core of PWERSA’s mission lies a commitment to serve all segments of society—from children to seniors, from the able-bodied to the physically challenged—by leveraging the unifying force of dance.

For Kuya Coach EA, the founder of PWERSA, the vision goes beyond national boundaries. It aims to redefine dance fitness practices, instill awareness of the correct methodologies, and proudly showcase the richness of Filipino culture to the world. The aspiration is for Filipinos to rally behind PWERSA as a local pride, asserting, “Atin Ito! This is ours!”

As a passionate advocate for fitness and the founder of PWERSA, Kuya Coach EA’s primary focus is on leaving an indelible mark on the younger generation. His goal is to traverse every corner of the Philippines, propagating a dance fitness program that enriches the community, not only in physical health but also in style, attitude, knowledge, and skills.

Kuya Coach EA’s dedication stems from a desire to rectify misconceptions prevalent in the dance community, striving to make a difference by enlightening individuals about better and more effective practices. His dream extends beyond national borders, envisioning PWERSA not only recognized in the Philippines but also establishing a prominent presence across Asia—a legacy that transcends time.

PWERSA stands tall as a testament to the transformative power of dance, a legacy woven with threads of passion, culture, and a commitment to holistic well-being.
