I am excited to attend this dance workshop. Our school, University of Cebu already set a budget for this event. This may be chance for me to be updated with our own dances and those unpublished dances.
The National Folk Dance Workshop will be on May 16 – 20, 2011 at Bago City, Negros Occidental. As I read the memo through the use of internet, I immediately wrote a letter to our school head. It was fortunately approved by our Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, Dr. Ulysses Aparece.
Here is the statement about the up coming seminar.
“The Cultural Center of the Philippines and the Philippine Folk Dance Society (PFDS) in coordination with the Department of Education (DepEd), Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Technical Skills and Development Authority (TESDA),Civil Service Commission (CSC), and the Local Government of Bago City will conduct the 31st National Folk Dance Workshop for Teachers on May 16-20, 2011 at the Manuel Y. Torres Memorial Complex, Bago City, Negros Occidental.
The activity aims to address the needs and concerns of teachers in folk dance education and production as well as to help develop a deeper appreciation for Filipino dance and music traditions. The Workshop also pays tribute to pioneering Filipino folk dance researchers by teaching and promoting their outstanding works.
Teachers, dancers, choreographers and members of dance groups will be participating in this Workshop. The Workshop will consist of practicum works, lecture-demonstrations, group dynamics, street dance, cultural shows, regional presentations and the culminating showcase.
A registration fee of P3,000.00, not inclusive of meals, board and lodging, will be charged. For more information, please call the CCP Dance Division at tel. no.
