Introduction

What is your favorite folk dance? And why do you love it? Do you know of a
dance that is really loved by all men and women of all ages?

Philippine folk dances speak so much about the hearbeat of our people for they
tell about our customs, ideas, beliefs, superstitions, and events of daily living in a certain
community. The kind of music being used readily also tells about the influences brought
about by trade and settlement of our neighboring countries such as China, Malaysia,
Indonesia, Burma, Cambodia, Thailand, and Japan, to name a few.
Truly evident is the effect of acculturation in the country as manifested by the
kinds of costumes, props, music, and dance steps that are used and integrated in some
of our regional and national folk dances.
The use of gong, kulintang, and the incorporation of pentatonic scale to our
musical compositions are just concrete proofs of acculturation in the country. These are
the reasons why Philippine folk dances contribute to the very rich culture of the country.
