Dancing

Hey fellow adventurers! I hope you feel a boogie in your step because we’re dancing! Or at least watching and reading about people dancing. I’ll leave it up to you if you actually want to dance or not. Often times folk dances are performed during festivals and celebrations. Older, more traditional dances were designed to thank the gods for natural and agricultural events while modern dances tend to be derived from historical events. Both will give you a good look at Filipino culture.

Tinikling

“The Tinikling is considered by many to be the Philippines’ national dance. The dance’s movements imitate the movement of the tikling bird as it walks around through tall grass and between tree branches. People perform the dance using bamboo poles. The dance is composed of three basic steps which include singles, doubles and hops. It looks similar to playing jump rope, except that the dancers perform the steps around and between the bamboo poles, and the dance becomes faster until someone makes a mistake and the next set of dancers takes a turn.”

And if you liked that, you should watch this more modernized Tinikling:

Itik-Itik

“The best description of the Itik-Itik is that the steps mimic the way a duck walks, as well as the way it splashes water on its back to attract a mate. According to popular tradition, the dance was created by a lady named Kanang who choreographed the steps while dancing at a baptismal party. The other guests copied her movements, and everyone liked the dance so much that it has been passed along ever since.”

Binasuan

“The Binasuan is an entertaining dance that is usually performed at festive social occasions like weddings and birthdays. Dancers carefully balance three half-filled glasses of rice wine on their heads and hands as they gracefully spin and roll on the ground. The dance originated in Bayambang in the Pangasinan province, and though it’s usually performed alone, it can also become a competition between several dancers.”

Pandanggo sa Ilaw

“The Pandanggo sa Ilaw is similar to a Spanish Fandango, but the Pandanggo is performed while balancing three oil lamps – one on the head, and one in each hand. It’s a lively dance that originated on Lubang Island. The music is in 3/4 time and is usually accompanied by castanets.”

Maglalatik

“The Maglalatik is a mock war dance that depicts a fight over coconut meat, a highly-prized food. The dance is broken into four parts: two devoted to the battle and two devoted to reconciling. The men of the dance wear coconut shells as part of their costumes, and they slap them in rhythm with the music. The Maglalatik is danced in the religious procession during the fiesta of Biñan as an offering to San Isidro de Labrador, the patron saint of farmers.”

Cariñosa

“The Cariñosa is a dance made for flirting! Dancers make a number of flirtatious movements as they hide behind fans or handkerchiefs and peek out at one another. The essence of the dance is the courtship between two sweethearts.”

Singkil

“The Singkil is a dance traditionally performed by single women to attract the attention of potential suitors. Dancers perform a series of graceful movements as they step in and out from between bamboo poles which are rhythmically clapped together. Fans and scarves are often used to enhance the dancers’ movements.”

I pulled all the descriptions of the dances from http://dance.lovetoknow.com/List_of_Philippine_Folk_Dance. I hope you had fun going down cultural lane with me! Thank you so much for reading my blog! Until our next adventure!

  12. Heya! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months
    of hard work due to no back up. Do you have any solutions
    to protect against hackers?

  13. Die Villa befindet sich auf einem Hügel am östlichen Ende von Cala Ratjada und
    wurde 1911 von dem Bankier und einstigem Tabakschmuggler Joan March
    an den Sa Torre Cega gebaut. Allerdings kann man diese Sehenswürdigkeit und die
    angeschlossenen Gärten nur in den Sommermonaten besichtigen. Von November bis Februar ist
    die Anlage geschlossen. Weitere lohnende Ausflugsziele in der Runde Cala Ratjada sind das
    Castell Capdepera, eine Festung aus dem 14. Jahrhundert über der Stadt und der
    Leuchtturm Far de Capdepera. Von hier hat man bei klarem Wetter einen atemberaubenden Blick bis Menorca haben, oder den romantischen Sonnenuntergang genießen kann.
    Apropos Menorca, vom Hafen in Cala Ratjada aus starten Fähren von Mallorca
    nach Menorca. Sie verbinden zwei Balleareninseln mit dem „Balear Jet” in nur Zeitspanne. Gegen Abend erwacht der beliebte Urlaubsort im Nordosten zu neuem Leben, die Bars, Clubs und Diskotheken ziehen besonders Nachtschwärmer und Cocktailhungrige an. Gute Cocktails mit chilliger Musik verbindet die Bar Coconar 17. Wer es noch wilder mag, kann in einer der Diskotheken bis in die Morgenstunden feiern und tanzen.
