REMEMBER

Traditional dances are dances cosidered to be part of the culture of a

particular group of people. There are Visayan dances, Ilokano dances, Tagalog
dances, and Mindanao dances. Filipinos were able to create dances by imitating the
movements of animals or insects, just like the Alitaptap.

Alitaptap or firefly, is a nocturnal,winged, light- producing insect. On dark nights,

fireflies fly from tree to tree. It is always delightful to see their flickering
lights. Alitaptap is a tagalog native dance originated from Batangas.

For the dance costume, girls are dressed in Balintawak while boys are in Barong
Tagalog and white pants.

4. Kumintang- This is aturn of the hand moving from the wrist, either outward

5. Lateral- Raise both arm at one side, either sideward right or left. This may

6. Flutter- Move the hand and fingers up and down.
7. Do-Si-Do- This means walking forward to partner, passing back to back,
then going back to the original position.
