In School Year 2019–2020, the Eastbridge Cultural Dance Troupe won the championship of the ROPRISA (Rodriguez Private Schools Association) dance competition, in a contest joined by 18 private schools from Rodriguez.

A new team, a big reputation
Most of the dancers were new to the troupe that year. They danced their hearts out to live up to a strong record: in the three years before, the troupe had won two ROPRISA championships and one first runner-up title.
