The group also unveiled a newly prepared dance break for the first time, demonstrating its powerful command of the stage.<\/p>\n<p refid=\"6\">Santos Bravos said, \u201cWe are truly happy and grateful to receive such meaningful awards. Our fans are a very important part of every moment we are experiencing.
