The Philippine Ballet Theatre was founded in 1987 out of an alliance of leading dance groups.
It quickly won recognition, as a resident ballet company of the Cultural Center of the Philippines.
[1] The Philippine Ballet Theatre pursues the goal of bringing the art of dance to the general appreciation of Filipino audiences.
With its concurrent preservation of the classical story ballets,[2] such as Swan Lake, Giselle, The Nutcracker, and Raymonda, the theatre also launches contemporary ballets like Carmina Burana[3] by David Campos.
The company has travelled in national and international tours presenting its Filipino and Western repertoire.
