Philippine Ballet Theatre (PBT), recently designated as the national performing arts company for dance by the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), is the premiere classical ballet company in the Philippines.

Throughout its three decades of existence, PBT has created some of the finest dancers, choreographers, and artists in the country. Like a mother, proud of her progeny, the company has influenced many of the prominent companies and artists in the industry today. Like a big oak tree with deep roots and sprawling branches, PBT, with its affiliate schools, has sent their performing artists far and wide into the industry.

Philippine Ballet Theatre, founded in 1986, is a Resident Company of the Cultural Center of the Philippines and the National Ballet Company of the Philippines.
