Bicol University Culture and the Arts Program

Today is recognized as the International Dance Day by the International Theatre Institute, UNESCO, and ASEAN Philippines 2026.

The art of dance transcends cultural and language barriers. The art itself is a universal language widely understood by many and a representation of one's culture and heritage. Today, we celebrate its importance in connecting lives through entertainment and art.

In Bicol University, we value the art of dance and its contribution to the cultural and artistic landscape. Through our BU Culture and the Arts Program, we appreciate the art form as an opportunity to recognize its ability to connect, inspire, and entertain people.
