Bayanihan Philippine National Dance Company October 28, 2010

Through the years, this highly colorful and energetic company has earned many distinctions: the first Filipino group to break into Broadway and the first non-American dance company to perform at the New York State Theater of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts; the first Filipino cultural group to perform in Russia and China. Created in 1957, the dance company is tasked to research and preserve indigenous Philippine art forms in music, dance, costumes and folklore, and to restructure this exploration to evolve repertoires suited to the demands of contemporary theater.
