The Yugyugan para sa Kultura ng Bayan is organized by the NCCA’s National Committee on Dance (NCD) headed by Josefina Guillen, and it will happen on April 29, 2015, simultaneously in various sites that include Angeles City in Pampanga, Cebu City, Iloilo City, Cagayan de Oro City, and Manila among others.
According to Josefina Guillen, Head of the NCD, Yugyugan will be participated in by hundreds of dancers including choreographers, school troupes and dance companies, who will dance simultaneously at 4 p.m. with other dancers in other parts of the Philippines and around the world. The Philippine dancers will perform to the song “Filipino Ako, Filipino Tayo.”
The Yugyugan is also a venue for dancers and dance artists to express their passion on the promotion of culture and the arts as the event advocates for cultural heritage preservation. The NCD choreographed two to three movements to about 100 performers who will perform uniform movements during the countdown to the Yugyugan.
Ms. Lisa Macuja, Prima Ballerina and Artistic Director of Ballet Manila (BM), joins Ms. Guillen in the Metro Manila Press Conference for the BM-NCCA International Dance Day Festival 2015 which will happen on April 29, 2015 at the Aliw Theatre in Pasay City. Ballet Manila spearheads the event in partnership with Manila Broadcasting Company, Aliw Theatre, with support from the NCCA.
The celebration of International Dance Day was created under the auspices of UNESCO in Paris and held all over the world by the International Theater Institute (ITI) on April 29. On the other hand, the Philippine National Dance Week is celebrated every fourth week of April every year as declared by Proclamation No. 154 “to bring together dancers to demonstrate and realize the function of dance in the society and in the rest of the world.”
