In the early years of the American colonization, ballet and modern dance were introduced to the Filipinos through a steady stream of foreign teachers, notable among whom were Luva Adameit, Kaethe Hauser, Trudl Dubsky and Anita Kane. They promoted dance in the 1930s not only by opening their own schools but by staging performances and presenting their own choreographies. In particular, for their works, Adameit and Kane drew inspiration from folk dances and themes; Adameit did Planting Rice and Cariñosa and Kane produced Mariang Makiling, Mutya ng Dagat, Aswang, among others. Dubsky created works to classical music like Petite Suite-Au Bord de la Seine, Peer Gynt Suite, Polovetsky Dances, A Midsummer Night's Dream. Then followed the arrival of Paul Szilard who choreographed The Four Seasons, La Gioconda, The Mad Thinker andRicardo and Roberta Cassell with Fifth Symphony, Adagietto, Graduation Ball, Peter and the Wolf, Lady Be Good.
These foreign artists undertook the task of shaping the first generation not only of Filipino ballet dancers and teachers but choreographers as well. Among these were: Leonor Orosa Goquingco, who continued her teachers' work of blending folk dances and classical ballet inTrend: Return to Native, Noli Dance Suite, Filipinescas; Alongside the introduction of ballet during the American period was the introduction of jazz dancing via the bodabil shows. In the 1960s, it became main feature in television, movies, variety shows and musical productions. Leading exponents of jazz were Julie Borromeo, Al Quinn and Jamin Alcoriza. Inevitably, other artists would venture into these alternative dance forms and medium. These include : Generoso-Iñigo, Rally Calvo, Ruben Nieto, Lito Calzado, Ernie Estrella, Julie Borromeo, Alice Reyes, Amelia Apolinario, Lally and Terry Aldeguer, Choy Talosig. In the 1980s and 1990s, television and variety shows would be dominated by choreographers like: Bobby Ongkiko, Maribeth Bichara, Lito Calzado, Geleen Eugenio, Eric Edralin, Mel Feliciano, Douglas Nierras and Veda Bañez.
