Happy International Dance Day! 💃🏼

The UP Filipiniana Dance Group was privileged to have been chosen to join the International Dance Day Fest 2026, beginning with the Opening Gala Program on April 22, and continuing with performances on April 23 and 26 at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater, where we showcased our love for Jazz dance and presented works in both the Folk Dance and Contemporary Galas.

In our participation, we aimed to share our efforts in Philippine dance, from the preservation and celebration of cultural heritage through our  Ivatan Suite to the exploration of contemporary movement and expression. Our contemporary piece was choreographed and headed by Mr. Rhosam Prudenciado, whose vision guided the work’s creative direction. UP Filipiniana is grateful for the dedication, discipline, and passion that were learned and imbibed through the whole process of creation to presentation. Our Ivatan Suite for the Folk Dance Gala was also accompanied by the beautiful music of the Filipiniana Rondalla headed by Mr. Michael Samaniego. Thank you for sharing this advocacy with us.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the organizers of IDDF 2026 for the opportunity, and to everyone who supported and witnessed our performances. We also express our heartfelt thanks to Mr. JM Cabling, Mr. Ronnie Mirabuena, and Ms. Myra Beltran for their invaluable support and belief. It was an honor to share the stage with such a vibrant community of artists who contributed to the success of this year’s festival.
