TINIKLING HISTORY
TINIKLING is a bamboo dance imitating
Tikling birds walking where the theory of the
origin started by people who worked in the
fields. The dance originated during the Spanish
colonial era when locals were ordered by the
King of Spain to work on large plantations.
Those who did not follow his orders or worked
too slowly were given a punishment: to stand in
between two bamboo poles.
These poles then clapped together in an
effort to beat the Filipino natives’ feet. To
escape this punishment, the Filipinos would
jump when the two poles were about to have
clapped. This practice of jumping between the
poles eventually transformed from a challenge
into an artistic dance.
