Ballet Philippines Presents The Art of Dance

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Widely recognized today as a cornerstone of the Filipino cultural identity, Ballet Philippines, the Phillippines' flagship company in ballet and contemporary dance, closes its successful 44th season, themed IllumiNATION, with an exceptional repertoire of breathtaking performances in The Art of Dance.

The highly anticipated season-ender presents a mixed repertoire of new and revived works from notable guest choreographers, showcasing Ballet Philippines’ acclaimed mastery of both classical and contemporary ballet. This will be shown at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium, RCBC Plaza, Makati on February 14 to 16 and 21 to 23 at 3pm for the matinees and 8pm for the gala shows.

The Art of Dance takes on varied dance forms in a stunning display of technique, talent, contrast, and artistry, presenting two different shows—Day (matinee shows) and Night (evening shows). Essentially taking into consideration each program’s target audience, both shows offer completely different - yet equally-enthralling - experiences for its viewers.

"Everything you need to know about the new season is in Metro's February Issue! On our cover is breakout star Julia Barretto, who is poised to conquer primetime with her upcoming TV series, Mira/Bella. Watch out for this issue in bookstores and newsstands this week! Photograph Melson Bolongaita. Makeup Robbie Pinera. Hair John Valle. Dress, Brian Evalle." - Metro Magazine

Admittedly the most stunning Barretto that ever come out from the clan. Though the sisters of Gretchen, Claudine, and Marjorie all deserved more than just a second look especially during their younger years, Julia is truly a breakout star.

With a very angelic face and the matching sophistication and gleaming aura, Julia deserves all her spots in magazine covers as she truly commands attention and admiration.

Metro Magazine never went wrong in selecting her as their February 2014 cover model.
