What Is It

Rhythmic activities aim to study the body movements which are used to express the theme,
feelings, moods, religious rites, occupation and social activities. Folk dances tell us about customs,
mores, culture and traditions, superstitious beliefs and events of daily life of countries all over the
world.

DANCE
is a performance art form consisting of purposefully selected sequences of human movement.
This movement has aesthetic and symbolic value, and is acknowledged as dance by performers and
observers within a particular culture.

PHILIPPINE FOLK DANCES

Long before the discovery of the Philippines by Magellan in 1521, the archipelago has been
inhabited by the three (3) different groups, the Pygmies, the Indonesians and the Malays. The
Negritos and the Proto-Malays were descendants of the Pygmies. As early as those days, dancing
among the Negritos was mostly pantomimic to depict the events of the daily chores. Among the early
Filipinos, dancing was considered as religious activity. It was performed by priest and priestesses in
thanksgiving for plentiful harvest, a victorious battle, a prosperous voyage or recovery from sickness.
During the Spanish regime, dancing played an important part in the social activity of the
people. Folk dances of today are adoptions of the old native dances. As a people, Filipinos love
singing and dancing and also feasting. For every slight occasion, we celebrate them with singing and
dancing.
The Philippines is composed of numerous islands, and because of the scattered positions of
these islands great variety of dances are found, the different customs and traditions existing in these
region gave rise to variations in the manner of executing the dances, dance steps and some arm
movements. Our traditions of grace, rhythm and songs started from pre Magellan days. Our folk
dances have a peculiar combination of Spanish and Oriental movements. Spaniards influenced our
music and dances so that we have absorbed much Occidental movements. As a form of recreation,
folk dances help promote national goodwill through depicting the habit and customs of all.
