CEBU, Philippines - The National Committee on Dance of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, under the leadership of Shirley Halili-Cruz, has organized the Sayaw Pinoy: The NCCA National Dance Competition as part of its efforts to promote dance in its various forms – folkdance, ballet, modern/ contemporary, hip hop and ballroom. It aims to stress the importance of the competition as a means of motivation for artistic excellence but not an end in itself. It also hopes to teach emotional fitness through teamwork as the group experience will bring about dependability, responsibility, commitment, sportsmanship, discipline, creativity and awareness of the value of the art of dance. Consequently, acquiring the value of working together toward common goals will extend to daily undertakings beyond the competition.
Anchored on this belief, the NCCA-NCD launches the Sayaw Pinoy: The NCCA National Dance Competition. This competition aims to promote artistic excellence in the different dance forms in the spirit of friendly competition.
