Dancing into the future - Daily Tribune I have always believed in education and have taken steps to create dance modules, research programs and cultural exchanges that will help preserve, promote and strengthen our cultural identity.

Today is the 94th birth anniversary of National Artist Lucrecia Reyes - Urtula.

Lucrecia Reyes - Urtula, choreographer, dance educator and researcher, spent almost four decades in the discovery and study of Philippine folk and ethnic dances. She applied her findings to project a new example of an ethnic dance culture that goes beyond simple preservation and into creative growth. Over a period of thirty years, she choreographed suites of mountain dances, Spanish-influenced dances, Muslim pageants and festivals, regional variations and dances of the countryside for the Bayanihan Philippine Dance Company of which she was the dance director. These dances have all earned critical acclaim and rave reviews from audiences in their world tours in the Americas, Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa.
