Our country is rich in cultural heritage and this includes a beautifully diverse dance culture. From the well-known national dance tinikling to contemporary dance genres such as jazz and hip-hop, they reflect the elements of the everyday life of the Filipinos.

This year, the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) is hosting a dance production called Pulso Filipinas: Filipino Dance Gala 2018 Synergy in Philippine Dance. It aims to educate, enrich, and deepen the audiences’ appreciation of dance as a form of expression through the various works of Filipino dance artists, choreographers, and dance groups as they aspire to unite the dance community.

You may catch this on June 30, at 7 p.m., and July 1, at 3 p.m. at the Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo (Main Theater).

Major dance companies from the CCP Resident Companies namely Ballet Philippines, Bayanihan Philippine National Folk Dance Company, Philippine Ballet Theatre, and the Ramon Obusan Folkloric Group, as well as University-based dance groups such as the UP Dance Company will be performing.
