Jazz dance

jazz dance can be traced to African ritual and celebratory dances from around the seventeenth century.
These dances emphasized polyrhythm and improvisation. From the sixteenth to the nineteenth century,
the transatlantic slave trade brought ten million enslaved Africans to the Americas. By 1817 in New
Orleans, city laws "restricted gatherings of enslaved people to Sunday afternoons in Congo Square,
known as Place Publique.

Break dance

Breaking, also called breakdancing or b-boying/b-girling, is an athletic style of street dance from the
United States. While diverse in the amount of variation available in the dance, breakdancing mainly
consists of four kinds of movement: toprock, downrock, power moves and freezes. Breakdancing is
typically set to songs containing drum breaks, especially in hip-hop, funk, soul music and breakbeat
music, although modern trends allow for much wider varieties of music along certain ranges of tempo
and beat patterns.

Ballroom

Ballroom dance is a set of partner dances, which are enjoyed both socially and competitively around the
world. Because of its performance and entertainment aspects, ballroom dance is also widely enjoyed on
stage, film, and television.Ballroom dance may refer, at its widest definition, to almost any recreational
dance with a partner. However, with the emergence of dance competition (now known as Dancesport),
two principal schools have emerged and the term is used more narrowly to refer to the dances
recognized by those schools.

Ballet

Ballet (French: [balɛ]) is a type of performance dance that originated during the Italian Renaissance in
the fifteenth century and later developed into a concert dance form in France and Russia. It has since
become a widespread, highly technical form of dance with its own vocabulary based on French
terminology. It has been globally influential and has defined the foundational techniques used in many
other dance genres and cultures. Ballet has been taught in various schools around the world, which have
historically incorporated their own cultures and as a result, the art has evolved in a number of distinct
ways.

Hip hop

Hip-hop dance refers to street dance styles primarily performed to hip-hop music or that have evolved
as part of hip-hop culture. It includes a wide range of styles primarily breaking which was created in the
1970s and made popular by dance crews in the United States. The television show Soul Train and the
1980s films Breakin', Beat Street, and Wild Style showcased these crews and dance styles in their early
stages; therefore, giving hip-hop mainstream exposure. The dance industry responded with a
commercial, studio-based version of hip-hop—sometimes called "new style"—and a hip-hop influenced
style of jazz dance called "jazz-funk". Classically trained dancers developed these studio styles in order
to create choreography from the hip-hop dances that were performed on the street. Because of this
development, hip-hop dance is practiced in both dance studios and outdoor spaces.

Maglalatik

The Maglalatik (also known as Manlalatik or Magbabao) is an indigenous dance from the Philippines.
Coconut shell halves are secured onto the dancers' hands and on vests upon which are hung four or six
more coconut shell halves. The dancers perform the dance by hitting one coconut shell with the other;
sometimes the ones on the hands, the ones on the body, or the shells worn by another performer, all in
time to a fast drumbeat.

Like many native Filipino dances, it is intended to impress the viewer with the great skill of the dancer,
and in some "Filipino Martial Arts" (FMA) circles, it has been noted that the Maglalatik "consists of a
trapping and boxing method hidden in a dance."

The name of the dance means "latik-maker", from latik, a coconut product that is used in Filipino
cooking.

Pandanggo

Pandanggo is a Philippine folk dance which has become popular in the rural areas of the Philippines. The
dance evolved from Fandango, a Spanish folk dance, which arrived in the Philippines during the Hispanic
period. The dance is accompanied by castanets[1]. This dance, together with the Jota, became popular
among the illustrados or the upper class and later adapted among the local communities. In the early
18th century, any dance that is considered jovial and lively was called Pandanggo.

Itik-itik is a mimetic folk dance in the Philippines. It originated in Cantilan, Surigao del Sur. Itik-itik was
discovered in this town by National Artist for Dance Francisca Reyes-Aquino. Originating from a dance
called Sibay and performed to the tune of Dejado, the story was told that an expert young dancer
named Cayetana at a barrio of Cantilan during a baptismal party had become so carried away with the
rhythm that she began to improvise short, choppy steps similar to ducks and then splash water on their
backs. The dance immediately became popular in the province for stage performances and social
dancing. Later, Mr. Antonino Arreza, a native of Cantilan and a grandfather of Prospero Pichay, Jr. was
believed be the one who compose the lyrics of Itik-itik. Below is original version of Itik-itik in native
Cantilangnon dialect.

Tinikling

Tinikling is a traditional Philippine folk dance which originated during the Spanish colonial era.The dance
involves two people beating, tapping, and sliding bamboo poles on the ground and against each other in
coordination with one or more dancers who step over and in between the poles in a dance. It is
traditionally danced to rondalla music, a sort of serenade played by an ensemble of stringed instruments
which originated in Spain during the Middle Ages.

Singkil

Singkil originated from the Maranao people who inhabit the shores of Lake Lanao. It is a re-telling of an
episode from the Maranao epic legend Darangen involving the rescue of Princess Gandingan (abducted
by the diwatas) by the legendary Prince Bantugan. It is a popular dance performed during celebrations
and other festive entertainment. Originally only women, particularly royalty, danced the Singkil, which
serves as either a conscious or unconscious advertisement to potential suitors. The dance takes its name
from the heavy rings worn on the ankles of the Muslim princess.A kulintang and agung ensemble always
accompanies the dance.
