For 2022, the National Committee on Dance is targeting to put up at least 30 shows online. These productions are intended to provide a venue for the Philippine dance community to present the best works of dance companies and groups if only to keep our hopes alive as we continue to traverse this period of prolonged uncertainty and find some continuity in the dynamism of the dance sector.

The NCCA-National Committee on Dance is calling on interested dance groups from different dance genres to participate in the different projects of the Committee.
