“Our crew lost someone who built and supported us from day one,” the group said.His passing broke our hearts, but his support and belief in us will always remain a part of our journey.”
Despite the hardships, the group celebrated several major highlights, including securing international opportunities that took them to the United States, performing in New York and Las Vegas, and Singapore.
These milestones, they said, represented years of hard work and determination paying off.
Looking ahead to 2026, the group plans to expand its reach by hosting dance talent shows across different provinces.
A key focus for the year will also be creating opportunities for women to join the movement.
“We aim to empower them through performance and offer opportunities to travel internationally.
“The Red Devils believe in never giving up, continuing to push forward, and having faith in everything we do,” the group said.
“As we move into 2026, we remain committed to growth, inclusivity, and sharing our talent locally and abroad.”
