The BatStateU Diwayanis Dance Theatre was formerly known as “Folkloric Performing Arts” of Pablo Borbon Memorial Institute of Technology. It was established and organized last 2002 headed by Asst. Prof. Normelinda M. Arias and trained by the late Mr. Francis Arce in attempt of preserving and sharing Philippine cultural heritage in the dance art forms among the youth of Batangas Province.

 Year 2011, the organization was renamed as the BatStateU Diwayanis Dance Theatre exclusive for college students to compete and join several competitions, celebrations which gain awards and recognitions with the supervision of Engr. Jojo V. Conti together with Asst. Prof Normelinda Arias. 

Diwayanis, a school-based organization, was derived from two tagalog words “Diwata” which is said to be the guardian or the protector of the forest and “Bayani” a person who possesses great courage and remarkable strength to protect his people and his country, two words that defines and symbolizes the bravery and beauty of the people who nurtures and values the richness of our country. 

The Diwayanis Dance Theatre shares their talent to every members of the group to preserve and showcase the potential of every individual through performing newly learned dances through every school activity, intermissions and even competitions. They are not just performing inside the University but even outside of the vicinity of the school. Diwayanis improves a person’s confidence by giving them the exposure, the knowledge, thoughts and even experiences, which opens every member’s mind and thought that we should always dance not just by using only our feet, smile and movement that is only memorized, we should never forget the heart and the reason why we are dancing. Because of the bond that was strongly built by every member, the outcome of every performance even the smallest and shortest dance will always bring perfection and touches the audience’s heart.
