What is Folk Dance First? Folk dance refers to the dances
created and
Performed collectively by the
ordinary people .The term
usually includes so called
“Ethnic Dance” such as those of
the cultural community in the
 cordillera , in Mindoro, Palawan,
Sulu and Mindanao, and the
rural or lowland Christian
dances among the groups like
the Ilokano , Pangasinan,
Tagalog , Pampango, Bicol
Cebuano , ilongo and Waray.

Very Good!

There are 2 types of Philippine

folkdance
1. Rural(occupational dance)-
activities
such as rice production, broom
making,
good planning, fishing, tuba
making,
gathering of sweet potatoes,
fetching of
water , pot making, corn planting
have
been reflected in the philippine
folkdances
Example:
Tinikling-the tinikling is
considered by
many as Philippine NAtional
dance. The
dance movement imitate the
movement of tikling bird as it
walks around tall grasses
and between tree branches, people
perform using bamboo poles.
itik-itik- the best description of
itik-itik is that, the steps mimic the
way a ducks
walk, as well as the way it splashes
water on its back to attract a mate.
According to a popular tradition,
the dance was created by a lady
named kanang while
choreographed the steps while
dancing at the baptismal
maglalatik-mock war dance that
depicts a fight over cocout meat
the men of the dance wear coconut
shell as part of their costumes, and
they slap them in rhythm with the
music.
2. spanish inspired-mostly
Christian and wedding dances.
Example:
Carinosa- it is a courtship dance.
Carinosa
Means affectionate and lovable,
there are many versions of this
dance, but hide and seek
movements using a fan and
handkerchief are the most
common
Fandango characterized with
lively steps
And clapping while following a
varying ¾ Step.
