A close contemporary of Barredo is Tina Santos. In Atlanta, she is often paired by one of the most notable Filipino male dancers, Nicolas Pacafta, who was also a principal dancer with Boston Ballet. But she danced her first double role of Odette-Odile in Swan Lake in Manila with Froilan. She was a coup at the international ballet festival in Cuba. She is prima ballerina of the Atlanta Ballet and formerly of Les Grands Ballets Canadiens in Mon- treal. Maniya Barredo has danced most of the above roles too. Both Villadolid and Macuja have danced the lead roles in Romeo and Juliet, The Sleeping Beauty, and The Nutcracker. Her most renowned 'Basilios' include the superstars Farouk Ruzimatov and Irek Mukhamedov, respective- ly of the Kirov (of which Macuja was a member for two years) and Bolshoi Ballet companies. Macuja danced the role in the Soviet Republics and, even more often, Kitri in Don Quixote. In Manila she danced it with Nonoy Froilan-the longest-lasting premier dan- seur of the country who also partnered Lisa Macuja in the same role. Anna Villadolid danced Giselle not only in Manila but also in Berlin and Munich. Giselle is the most often produced ballet classic in the Philippines-in Manila and even in Cebu City where it has been staged by Fe Sala-Villarica.

After Madrigal, the famous 'Giselles' were Maribel Aboitiz (with Eddie Elejar as her Albrecht, and also Sieg- fried, Prince Florimund and Basilio), Felicitas Layag (later Radaic) and Maureen Tiongco (in the Kane production), Ester Rimpos, Maniya Barredo, Anna Villadolid, and Lisa Macuja. Aside from producing symphonic ballets and the Gershwin movie musical, Lady Be Good, Cassell was the first to produce Giselle in the Philippines, which starred Pacita Madrigal (later Warns) and Benjamin Villanueva Reyes. Others of their class are Anita Kane, who was the first to tour the country extensively with her Kane (later, Pamana) Ballet Company, and the American Ricardo Cassell who formed his Studio Dance Group.
