The Summer Dance Workshop is administered by Ballet Philippines’ educational arm, the CCP Dance School. It has been a tradition among dance students for over 40 years, and has been a haven for beginners as well as serious ballet students who want to take their dancing to the next level. Many have gone on to become professional ballet and contemporary dancers with Ballet Philippines and other companies abroad.

The Workshop also welcomes young choreographers seeking to enrich their dance experience through Improvisation and the Dance Composition Lectures. Teachers from Metro Manila and the provinces who wish to interact with other teachers and students are also encouraged to come.

Scholarships are available for Metro Manila and Provincial students. Audtions are on March 12 at 1 pm to 3 pm for Metro Manila applicants, and April 6 at 3 pm for Provincial applicants. All auditions and classes for scholars will be held at the CCP.

The Workshop culminates in a recital at the CCP Main Theater on May 21 and 22.
