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!

Hi there, this weekend is fastidious in favor of me, since this occasion i am reading this wonderful informative post
here at my home.
What a data of un-ambiguity and preserveness of precious experience regarding unexpected emotions.
Für mein Gefühl kauft man bei SEO Agenturen zuallererst Zeit,
Identifikation und Leidenschaft. Know-How vorausgesetzt.
Nicht einer 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. Alldieweil 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 gemeinhin ab
20 Stunden Monats-Budget. In der Mehrzahl 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 der Komplexität der Website und des Themas
abhängt. Darunter macht es praktisch nie einen Sinn, weil man nichts richtig
machen kann. Den Einstieg in die Agentur-Zusammenarbeit sollte eine kurze, kostenlose Ersteinschätzung zum tatsächlichen Bedarf im Zusammenhang der Angebotserstellung sein. Ein SEO-Experte kann nach wenigen Minuten halbwegs gut einschätzen, wie sehr z.B.
Thema Onpage Optimierung brennt und wie groß der Handlungsbedarf ist.
