In 1990, Ballet Philippines 2 (BP2) was formed to legitimize the emerging artistry of the company’s young talents, where they were allowed to explore choreography and technique at a very radical pace. They were given opportunities to create art through projects like “Neo Filipino” and “Bagong Sayaw” where the dancers reintroduce themselves to the public as contemporary dance collaborators.

The Ballet Philippines of the present seems intent on using the same formula for these millennial times, thus the return of “Bagong Sayaw.”
