Ballet Philippines (BP) is a ballet company in the Philippines founded in 1969 by Alice Reyes with the support of Eddie Elejar and the Cultural Center of the Philippines. Proficient in both ballet and modern dance,[1] the company synthesizes diverse dance [2] and movement forms into distinctively Filipino contemporary expressions. These include classical ballet, avant-garde choreography, traditional and modern dance, martial arts, and aerial movements. [citation needed]
As the resident dance company of the Cultural Center of the Philippines,[3][4] Ballet Philippines is the country's flagship company in ballet and contemporary dance.[5] The company has been praised for its strong dance foundation and for the flexibility of style and exciting sense of theater.[6]
Each year, outreach and educational programs introduce audiences to dance,[7] music, and visual art. BP's official school is the CCP Dance School.
With over 400 works, Ballet Philippines' repertory is unparalleled in Asia,[3] from full-length classical ballets and internationally recognized masterworks to indigenous works of Filipino folklore and social issues.[3]
