20 Questions with Elpidio Magat

Ballet Manila dancers perform graceful pirouettes, powerful jumps, stunning lifts and other amazing movements. But apart from what we see of them onstage, we hardly hear from these storytellers-on-toes. In 20 Questions, we offer glimpses into their personal stories. We get to know these artists better as they share tidbits about themselves – their favorite food, the best lesson they learned from their parents, their alternative career had they not become dancers and more – in their own words.

In this episode, principal dancer Elpidio Magat shared some of his favorite songs from his playlist, the ballet step he loves performing, and being emotional after learning about his promotion.
