The Bayanihan Philippine Dance Company was established in 1957 and was designated the Philippine National Folk Dance Company by virtue of Republic Act No. 8626 dated April 15, 1998. It is the first Filipino group to perform on Broadway in 1959 and holds the distinction of being the first non-American dance company to perform at New York’s Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.
Bayanihan has performed in Russia, the People’s Republic of China, and throughout South America before other Philippine dance companies had, making it the first Philippine cultural group to do so.
Known for its excellent productions not only in the country but globally, Bayanihan has earned accolades and reaped several international awards since it started joining competitions in the early 2000s.
