LOOKING BACK TO YOUR LESSON

Folk Dance Title: Lapay Bantigue

Meaning: Seagulls of Bantigue Island, Masbate

Dance Culture: Coastal Christians

Place of Origin: Bantigue Island, Masbate

Ethnolinguistic Group: Masbateno

Classification: Comic, Mimetic (fowl)

Background / Context:

Like many small islands, Bantigue of Masbate rely on the sea to supply fish
to great parts of the Bicol region.

Each dawn, Bantigue village awaits the arrival of boats with their catch.
Gathered on the beach with the people are thousands of lapay or seagulls, flying
overhead or moving around the sand and seashore. To while away their time, people
turn their attention to the lapay, shooing them or imitating their flight, swoops, dives
and glides. This playful frolicking started the first steps of an unrehearsed dance.
Music was brought in later to lend order and form. It did not take long before couples
competed in show-offs lapay antics, the very core of what lapay is today.

BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Let’s Read:
What is Cheerdance?

Cheerdance is coined from the words:

“cheer”, and “dance.” To cheer is to shout
out words or phrases that may help motivate
and boost the morale of a playing team and
perform better during a game. While, to Dance
is a physical activity where one expresses
emotions or gestures while performing bodily
movements usually in time and rhythm. On
the other hand, Cheerleading is the
performance of a routine, usually dominated
by a gymnastic skill such as jumps, tumbling
skills, lifts and tosses combined with shouting
of cheers and yells to lead the crowd to cheer
for a certain team during a game or sport.
Therefore, Cheerdancing, is rooted from
cheerleading.

How did Cheerdancing start?

Cheerleading history is linked closely to the

United States’s history of sports, its
sporting venues, as well as the historical
development of overall crowd participation
at many Athletic events (history of
cheerleading, 2015). However, its origin can
be traced as far back as the late 19th
century where in 1860’s students from
Great Britain began to cheer and chant in
unison for their favorite athletes at sporting
events. This event eventually reached and
influenced America (timeline of
cheerleading, 2012).

In the late 1880’s the first organized

recorded yell done in locomotive style was
performed in an American campus and was
first seen and heard during a college
football game. However, organized all-male cheerleading only transpired when
Thomas Peebles, one of the graduates of Princeton University, brought the yell and
the football sports to the University of Minnesota in 1884.
