In collaboration with The Rogue Ballerina™ Georgina Pazcoguin, Ballet Philippines continues its pursuit of excellence and artistic growth. This global exchange strengthens BP’s commitment to innovation, discipline, and the advancement of Philippine dance.
As part of its commitment to continuous growth, Ballet Philippines welcomed acclaimed artist, choreographer, and quondam soloist of New York City Ballet, Georgina Pazcoguin—The Rogue Ballerina™—for a special masterclass with its dancers. The session, held at the Ballet Philippines studios, marked a unique opportunity for the company to learn from one of today’s most dynamic and versatile performers. ✨
Pazcoguin’s celebrated career spans both the ballet and Broadway stages, with standout performances in productions such as Cats, On The Town, and West Side Story. She also made history as the first Asian American Pacific Islander woman promoted to soloist at New York City Ballet, a milestone that has cemented her reputation as both a trailblazer and advocate for diversity and representation in the arts. Beyond the stage, she is the author of Swan Dive: The Making of a Rogue Ballerina, a memoir that offers candid insight into her journey as an artist navigating tradition and reinvention.
“This masterclass is more than just a learning session—it is an exchange of artistry that strengthens our mission to nurture excellence and broaden the horizons of Philippine dance,” said Ballet Philippines. “Having Georgina Pazcoguin with us is a reminder that ballet is a living, evolving art form that connects cultures and inspires audiences worldwide.”
Ballet Philippines remains dedicated to creating transformative experiences for its dancers and audiences alike, continually opening its doors to collaborations with globally respected artists.
Encounters such as this masterclass affirm the company’s role as the country’s premier ballet institution, committed to elevating Filipino artistry on the world stage.
