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!

  1. Das ist aber wirklich nur in ganzen seltenen Fällen notwendig.
    Solar-Bewegungsmelder: Dieser Bewegungsmelder braucht keine Batterien und lädt sich
    nur mit Sonnenlicht auf. Nicht ausbleiben ihn auch
    in Kombination mit einer Solarlampe, wie Testberichte zeigen. Dieser Präsenzmelder nimmt auch Personen wahr,
    die sich stillhalten und sitzen. Präsenzmelder: Hier haben Sie es mit einem sehr hochwertigen Bewegungsmelder zu tun. Sehr viel genauer werden von ihm auch Veränderungen bei der Helligkeit wahrgenommen.
    Wo kann ein Bewegungsmelder montiert werden?
    Es kommt immer darauf an, welcher Einsatz für den Bewegungsmelder gedacht ist.
    Kommt er nur im Außenbereich zum Einsatz oder soll
    er auch innen seine Dienste leisten. Dementsprechend unterschiedlich sind natürlich auch die Montagemöglichkeiten zu beachten. Wenn Sie beispielsweise Ihren Smart Home Bewegungsmelder montieren möchten, kann dies an der Wand,
    an der Decke oder auch in einer Ecke geschehen. Ist Ihr WLAN Bewegungsmelder mit das Fritzbox verbunden,
    müssen Sie natürlich auch darauf achten, dass er ein Signal empfängt.
    Besonders bei der Montage in Ecken müssen Sie darauf achten, dass der Sensor auch genügend Wahrnehmungsraum hat.

  12. Soweit ich erkennen kann kauft man bei SEO Agenturen erst einmal Zeit, Identifikation und Leidenschaft.

    Know-How vorausgesetzt. Kein einziger wird leidenschaftlich und mit Identifikation an einem Projekt arbeiten,
    das er nur an 5 Stunden im Monat betreut. Aus meiner Erfahrung gibt es
    eine Basis-Identifikation ab ca. Hinwiederum wird die Arbeit an einem
    Projekt, dass an 5 Tagen oder mehr in der Woche Agentur- und
    Schreibtisch-Thema ist sicherlich mit mehr Identifikation laufen.
    Bei durchschnittlich 100 € Stundensatz ergibt sich ein monatliches Basis-Volumen von 2.000 €.
    2 Arbeitstagen. Wir selber arbeiten zusammenfassend ab 20 Stunden Monats-Budget.

    In der Überzahl Agenturen arbeiten mit mindestens 3 Monaten Laufzeit, sodass ein Mindestbudget von 6.000
    € für mich die Basis einer Zusammenarbeit darstellt.

    Das ist schwer pauschal zu beantworten, da das natürlich sehr von welcher Komplexität
    der Website und des Themas abhängt. Darunter macht es so gut wie
    nie einen Sinn, weil man nichts richtig agieren kann.

    Den Einstieg in die Agentur-Zusammenarbeit sollte eine
    kurze, kostenlose Ersteinschätzung zum tatsächlichen Bedarf bei der Angebotserstellung sein. Ein SEO-Experte kann nach wenigen Minuten halb gut einschätzen, wie sehr z.B.
    Thema Onpage Optimierung brennt und wie groß der Handlungsbedarf ist.

    So können Sie die optimale Auswahl für Ihre Zwecke treffen. Die Sensoren sind hervorragend für die Außenüberwachung geeignet und können qua Modell in Temperaturbereichen von -50°C bis 65°C genutzt werden. Über eine zusätzliche Verbindung per Kabel können benachbarte Magnetfelder vernetzt
    werden und der Schutz vor Überlappung der Felder
    oder Sabotage erhöht werden. Der volumetrische Mikrowellensensor ist umso mehr für
    die Überwachung von kreis- bzw. ovalförmigen Bereichen gedacht.
    So können z.B. Tunnel, Warenhäuser, etc. Der Überwachungsbereich ist in 12 Unterzonen eingeteilt, deren einzelne oder mehrere deaktiviert werden können.
