CLARAVALL DANCE LEGACY
2025 - we celebrate 40 years of excellence in dance training at the Claravall School of Dance! What began in Quezon City in 1967, with the unwavering support of my parents, has blossomed into a thriving institution. From our beginnings, the Claravall Dance has expanded to locations including several prestigious schools in Ayala Alabang, Manila and Pasay, and the British School Manila at Fort Bonifacio, Taguig.
Through these years, Claravall has maintained its high standards, following the rigorous demands of the Royal Academy of Dance, London. Over 1500 students have achieved High Merit or Distinction in their RAD examinations, showcasing their talent on prestigious stages such as the Cultural Center of the Philippines, Theatre at Solaire and now the MRA Assumption, San Lorenzo Makati.
This year's program includes Excerpts from the Great Classics - Swan Lake and Le Corsaire and an original full-length ballet, set to the Rondalla music of Juan Silos, that weaves a captivating story celebrating Filipino customs and values. Among these values are respect for elders and those in authority, prayer as part of Filipino life, courtship showing respect for ladies and the chivalry of men.The choreography, costumes, sets, and lighting create a truly professional experience. The performance integrates all levels, from Primary to Advanced including the Glamorous Swans culminating in the breathtaking performances of everyone that includes scholars from the Bridge Foundation. Through dance, our students learn discipline, teamwork, perseverance, and self-expression—values that shape character and enrich lives.
Thank you to our dedicated students for your hard work and unwavering passion. Thank you to the parents for your incredible support—your belief in your children's potential has made all the difference. Thank you to the Glamorous Swans who found joy in music and movement. And thank you, God, for the gift of dance and the opportunity to share it with the world.
