BP's official school, the CCP Dance School, continues to produce dancers of international caliber. With a treasure trove of over 400 works, Ballet Philippines' wide ranging, eclectic repertory is unparalleled in Asia. From full-length classical ballets and internationally recognised masterworks to indigenous works of Filipino folklore and social issues, the company weaves a colorful tapestry of the Philippine's rich and diverse cultural heritage – uniquely and distinctly Filipino. The Company's achievements, coupled with the generous and prestigious support of numerous local and national funding sources, have dramatically strengthened BP's position as a world-class ballet company within the local, national, and international arts communities. As the Philippines' premiere dance company, now in its 45th season, BP continues its vision of nurturing the best Fiipino dance artists, in year long program of professional and developmental dance. ==History== In February 1970, the Alice Reyes Modern Dance Company premiered its debut performance at the Cultural Center of the Philippines. Its original members included dancers from the Bayanihan Dance Company, U.E. Dance Troupe and Dance Theater Philippines. In April that year, recognising the available time and space at the CCP as well as the need to train more dancers, the company introduced the first CCP Summer Dance Workshop. (This would eventually be held annually, training two to four hundred students each year in classical and modern dance.) That same year, the CCP Dance Workshop and Company was launched with Alice Reyes and Eddie Elejar as Artistic Directors. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ballet Philippines」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
