Since 1995, Ballet Manila has been creating unforgettable performances on stage. As the acclaimed storytellers on toes, they have breathed life to an amazing range of classical and contemporary fare. The Ballet Manila Archives celebrates some of those moments from the company’s first 25 years through this series.
As ballet lovers around the globe celebrate World Ballet Day (October 19), we highlight the backbone of all ballet companies: the corps de ballet.
Here, in particular, we recognize the achievements of Ballet Manila’s female corps in moving as one while maintaining grace and the highest levels of artistry with each movement.
