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.”

    Immerhin durch seine starke Saugleistung, die vielen Sensoren und die Qualität konnte der Marken Saugroboter punkten.

    Modelle oder Saugroboter von Xiaomi bzw. Roborock.

  17. In diesem Artikel möchte ich Ihnen mit einer SEO-Definition zunächst zeigen, was sich genau hinterm Begriff der Suchmaschinenoptimierung versteckt.
    Falls Sie ein Einsteiger auf diesem Gebiet sind und sich zunächst den Basics der
    Suchmaschinenoptimierung widmen wollen, sollten Sie einen Betrachtung unser SEO-Experteninterview “SEO für Anfänger” werfen. Search Engine Optimization bedeutet übersetzt
    Suchmaschinenoptimierung und wird mit SEO abgekürzt.
    Späterhin gehe ich dann auf die wichtigsten Faktoren ein, die
    Sie fürs Ranking in Suchmaschinen berücksichtigen und mit denen Sie
    Ihre Position in den Google-Ergebnissen verbessern können. SEO ist neben dem
    Search Engine Advertising (SEA) Kern des Suchmaschinenmarketings
    (SEM) und zielt darauf ab, bei der organischen Suche möglichst weit
    oben gelistet zu werden. Die organische oder auch natürliche Suche bezieht sich dabei auf die Suchergebnisse, für die man nicht zahlt.
    Es geht also erst recht darum, seine Webseite so aufzubauen,
    dass Google diese möglichst weit oben einsortiert.
    Vor einigen Jahren konnten die Suchalgorithmen von Google noch durch die blinde Aneinanderkettung relevanter Keywords ausgetrickst werden.

  18. Minimalistische Tattoos: Personen, welche es lieber einfach und schlicht mögen, können die
    Familie in Form von Sternen, Punkten und Blümchen minimalistisch in die
    Haut stechen lassen. Der Sinn dahinter ist jedoch nicht für Jede und Jeden ersichtlich.

    Zeit einfrieren: Alte Liebesbriefe, eine Unterschrift, oder alte Hand-
    oder Fußabdrücke der eigenen Kinder eignen sich
    auch für ein tätowiertes Andenken. Portraits: Realistisch tätowierte Bilder
    von Oma, Opa oder den Kindern sind auch ein sehr beliebtes Motiv und zugleich einzigartig.
    Motive werden mit einer großen Portion Geduld entworfen und können bei einem Vorgespräch genau besprochen werden. Der Tätowierer Deiner Wahl
    sollte auf jeden Fall deinen persönlichen Grund kennen, warum
    Du Dich für dieses Tattoo entschieden hast. Der Tätowierer,
    dem du Dein Vertrauen schenkst, hat bestimmt schon sehr viel Erfahrung mit Familien Tattoos und kann die unterschiedlichsten Ideen zu bewundernswerten Tattoos
    machen. Er kann so gemeinsam mit Dir die schönsten Ideen entwerfen und
    diese perfekt an dich anpassen bzw. auf Deine Bedürfnisse
    abstimmen. Mit einem Familien Tattoo machst Du Dir höchstwahrscheinlich nicht nur selbst
    eine große Freude, sondern ebenfalls Deinen Liebsten, welche
    sich bestimmt mit dir mitfreuen und sich geehrt
    fühlen. Wir haben bei uns im Surface Tattoo Studio München, nur erfahren Tätowierer mit einer künstlerischen Ausbildung.
