DANCE

Bayanihan, the National Folk Dance Company of the Philippines, takes its name from an ancient Filipino tradition called bayanihan which means “working together for a common good.” The company has made it its mission to preserve indigenous Filipino art forms in music, dance, costumes and folklore. Using these elements, they craft repertoires that are suited to the demands of contemporary theater. The result? Innovative choreography that has entertained audiences for more than 50 years and generated decades of international goodwill.
