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!

  3. Hey there! This is my first visit to your blog! We are a
    collection of volunteers and starting a new initiative in a community in the same niche.

    Your blog provided us valuable information to work on. You have done a extraordinary job!

  4. Montiert werden Bewegungsmelder meistens an der Decke oder Wand.
    Modelle für den Außenbereich müssen wetterfest und spritzwassergeschützt sein. Bewegungsmelder werden häufig mit einer Lichtschaltung gekoppelt!
    Die Klassifizierung wird im Test durch eine Kennziffer definiert, die zeigt,
    wie intensiv der Schutz gewährleistet ist. Hochwertige Modelle im Vergleich
    sind obendrein auch staub- und kratzfest.

    Wie schnell ein elektronischer Melder reagiert, hängt deren Sensibilität der Technik und von den Einstellungsmöglichkeiten ab.

    Die leistungsstärksten Bewegungsmelder können untrennbar größeren Bereich zuverlässig reagieren was sich jedoch
    auch auf den Preis bemerkbar macht. Viele Modelle
    können reguliert werden, damit sie nicht auf jede Kleinigkeit
    reagieren, z. B. auf die Bewegung durch Wind oder den Straßenverkehr.

    Getestet wird, welche Einstellungen möglich sind und wie lange ein Modell aktiv bleibt.
    Für den Einsatz als Überwachungsgerät
    werden elektronische Melder im Test auf ihre Reichweite, Frequenz und den Erfassungswinkel hin untersucht.
    Im Außenbereich sollte eine Reichweite zwischen 10 bis 20 Metern in Betracht kommen.

  5. Hey there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?
    I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m
    having a difficult time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.

    P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

  6. Links wirken hier wie Empfehlungen in der realen Welt.
    Je vertrauenswürdiger eine empfehlende bzw.
    verweisende Quelle ist, desto wertvoller ist der Backlink bzw.
    die Empfehlung. Weniger die Anzahl der Links gleichsam (Linkpopularität).
    Hier spielt primär die Anzahl der verschiedenen verlinkenden Domains,
    die sogenannte Domainpopularität, eine Rolle. Die zweite Ebene ist die thematische Beziehungsebene.
    Übertragen auf die Semantik bzw. Graphentheorie sind Links die Kanten zwischen den Knoten bzw.

    Entitäten. Link stellen auch immer Beziehungen zwischen den Dokumenten und deren dort
    abgebildeten Themen dar. Owned- und teilweise auch Self-Placed-Links wie
    Branchenbücher sind vor allem für die Entitäten-Bildung
    zuständig, während Paid- und Earned Links Sinn für die
    Verbesserung der Autorität einer Domain machen. Wir bei Aufgesang orientieren uns hier
    an ein semantisches Verlinkungskonzept- Mehr
    dazu im Beitrag Semantisch Themen finden: Wie identifiziert man semantisch verwandte Keywords?
    Umsetzung: Hier übernimmt der/die SEO-Manager(in)
    wie gehabt primär eine beratende Funktion. Je nach dem ob man sich für einen aktiven skalierbaren Linkaufbau oder organischen Linkaufbau
    via Content-Marketing entscheidet.

  10. Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren’t
    loading correctly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue.

    I’ve tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same outcome.

  11. My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on a number of
    websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to
    another platform. I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net.
    Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it?
    Any kind of help would be really appreciated!

  12. With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of
    plagorism or copyright violation? My site has a lot of completely unique content
    I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it
    is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any techniques to
    help reduce content from being ripped off? I’d truly appreciate it.

  13. Hey there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this
    site? I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform.
    I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  14. I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your website.
    It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme?
    Excellent work!

  15. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is required to get set up?
    I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% sure. Any recommendations
    or advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks
