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!

Hier oben ist es doch schrecklich einsam! „Piep, piep!” sagte da eine kleine Maus und huschte hervor; und dann kam noch eine kleine. Sie beschnüffelten den Tannenbaum, und dann schlüpften sie zwischen seine Zweige. ”
sagten die kleinen Mäuse. „Es ist eine greuliche Kälte!
„Sonst ist hier gut sein; nicht wahr, du alter Tannenbaum?
„Ich bin hinten und vorne nicht alt! ” sagte der Tannenbaum; „es gibt viele, die weit älter sind denn ich! „Woher kommst du?” fragten die Mäuse, „und was weißt du?
” Sie waren gewaltig neugierig. „Erzähle uns doch von den schönsten Orten auf Erden! Bist du in der Speisekammer gewesen, wo Käse auf den Brettern liegen und Schinken unter der Decke hängen, wo man auf Talglicht tanzt, mager hineingeht und fett herauskommt? Bist du dort gewesen? ” Und
dann erzählte er dann war’s das seiner Jugend. Die kleinen Mäuse hatten früher nie dergleichen gehört, sie horchten auf und sagten: „Wieviel du gesehen hast!
„Das kenne ich nicht”, sagte der Baum; „aber den Wald kenne ich, wo die Sonne scheint und die Vögel singen! Wie glücklich du gewesen bist! „Ich?” sagte der Tannenbaum und dachte übers, was
er selbst erzählte, nach. „Ja, es waren fast ganz fröhliche Zeiten!

Ist der Baum etwas älter, wächst er aufgrund seines
größeren Wurzelwerks auch schneller heran. In seinen höheren Lebensjahren von 10 Jahren kann sich das jährliche Wachstum
auf bis zu 50 cm belaufen. Klassisch wächst ein Weihnachtsbaum in seinen ersten 10 Jahren auf eine Größe von ungefähr 2,5 Metern heran.
Bezieht man dieses Wachstum auf die unterjährige Vegetationsperiode von Anfang Mai bis Ende Juli wären das dann bei 12 Wochen Wachstumsphase klassisch circa 2,08 Centimeter pro Woche.
Alljährlich wären das demnach 25 Centimeter.
Wie erkennt man eine Nordmanntanne? Eine
echte Nordmanntanne lässt sich an ihrem charakteristischen, symmetrischen Wuchs und den sattgrünen,
gleichmäßig angeordneten Nadeln erkennen. Draußen wird
sie bis zu 60 Meter hoch und kann ein stattliches Alter von bis zu 500 Jahren erreichen. Die Nordmanntanne ist eine immergrüne Pflanze, die
geradlinig wächst und bereits im jungen Alter einen pyramidalen Habitus ausbildet.
Sie sind verhältnismäßig weich und pieken kaum. Die Nadeln sind 1 bis 3 Centimeter lang und 2 bis 3 Millimeter breit.
Auf der Oberseite sind sie dunkelgrün und leicht glänzend.
Den Glanz verdanken sie einer dünnen Wachsschicht, die
sie vor einer zu starken Sonneneinstrahlung schützt.
