Name of Philippine Folk Dance: Cariñosa

Place of Origin: The Cariñosa originated on Panay Island and was introduced to the
Philippines by the Spaniards during their colonization. It has ties to various Spanish dances,
such as the bolero, as well as the Mexican dance Jarabe Tapatio, or Mexican hat dance.

Classification: Cariñosa is a word that refers to a lady that is affectionate, kind, and lovable.
This dance is done in a flirty manner, with fans and handkerchiefs used to aid the dancers'
hide-and-seek moves.

Cultural Relevance:

The Cariñosa is one of our national dances that we should be proud of. With its flirtatious
moves, this is a courtship dance that is well-known throughout the Philippines. Cariñosa
(meaning "lovely or affectionate one") is a Hispanic-inspired Philippine folk dance from the
Maria Clara suite, in which the fan or handkerchief plays an important part in putting the
couple in a romantic situation.
Originally, the Cariñosa was danced with Maria Clara dress and Barong Tagalog for it is a
Maria Clara Spanish Dance when it was introduced. However, as the Filipino people saw and
imitated this dance, they wore the patadyong kimona and camisa de chino to reveal their
nationalism to their country and other steps were revised or Filipinized but the music did not
change at all and reveals a Spanish Influence to the Filipinos. As stated by the book of
Francisca Reyes-Aquino, dancers may wear balintawak style (a native dress of the Tagalog
regions), camisa (a white sleeve) or patadyong kimona (a dress of the Visayan of people) and
for boys, a barong Tagalog and colored pants. Because it is the national dance, the dancers
may wear any Filipino costumes.
The music of Carinosa, it is 3/4 in rhythm like some of the Spanish dances. The Philippine
Rondalla are playing this music of the dance where it is an ensemble or an orchestra of string
instruments in the Philippines similar to the Spanish musicians in Spain that comprises
bandurrias, mandolins, guitar, basses, drums, and banjos. Mostly men are playing rondalla
instruments but women may also take part.
