==History==
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.
American colonization paved the way for the introduction of ballet in the Philippines. In 1915, distinguished ballet dancer Paul Nijinsky performed classical ballet at the Manila Hotel Roof Garden (Dimalanta, 2006).


In 1927, Luva Adameit came to the Philippines and started a ballet school. She trained the first few ballet dancers in the country. Her dancers, sur les pointes, were inspired by local dances like the Planting Rice, Carinosa, and the Maria Clara that eventually influenced Leonor Orosa Goquingco.
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.


From then on, ballet has thrived in the country and invited a number of foreign teachers and performers as well. It paved the way to "a receptive outlook towards the artistic values of the art form" (Alejandro, 1983). The institution that eventually became Ballet Philippines was first conceived in 1969, with the opening of the [[Cultural Center of the Philippines]] (CCP).<ref name="Times2014">{{cite news|url=http://www.manilatimes.net/mother-philippine-contemporary-dance/117712/ |title=The mother of Philippine contemporary dance |work=The Manila Times |date=2014-08-09}}</ref> It was initially conceived by dancer-choreographers [[Alice Reyes]] (now a [[National Artist of the Philippines]] for dance), [[Eddie Elejar]], and [[Tony Fabella]] as the CCP Summer Dance Workshop.<ref name="Times2014"/> This later evolved into CCP Dance Company, which eventually became Ballet Philippines.<ref name="Times2014"/>

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.

The institution that eventually became Ballet Philippines was first conceived in 1969, with the opening of the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP).[8] It was initially conceived by dancer-choreographers Alice Reyes (now a National Artist of the Philippines for dance), Eddie Elejar, and Tony Fabella as the CCP Summer Dance Workshop.[8] This later evolved into CCP Dance Company, which eventually became Ballet Philippines.[8]
