Sayaw sa Bangko is a famous Pilipino folk dance in which the dancers must
use good skill and balance as they dance on top of a narrow bench. This
dance dates to before the Spanish colonization of the Philippines, which
means it is a purely Pilipino Ancestral dance. Dancers showcase their
skills as they dance atop a narrow bench, while constantly trading places.
As opposed to competing to stay on the bench, dancers must complement each
other to ensure that they do not fall. This dance is usually performed in
town fiestas.
