 What is It

Read to Understand

Tinikling is the official national dance of the Philippines and one of the
oldest dances in the archipelago which originated during the Spanish colonial
period. It is characterized by the movements of one or more dancers between
two bamboo poles while these are beaten in a certain rhythm against each
other and onto the ground.

Where does Tinikling come from?

This dance is a favorite of the Visayan

Islands, especially in the province of Leyte. The
“Tikling” is a bird with long legs and a long neck.
It is also a term that is commonly used for
a whole range of Squacco species. The
“Tinikling” dance therefore, imitates the
movement of the “Tikling” birds as they walk
between grass stems or run over tree
branches set by farmers. The dance is very
playful and upbeat and requires
endurance and grace. This spectacular dance is usually accompanied by a music.

How the Bamboo Dance Works?

There are mainly four people taking part in the dance – two male and
two female dancers. While one couple takes the dance position, the other
couple takes over the handling of the bamboo sticks. There is one person on
either end of the sticks kneeling on the floor and facing each other. The
bamboo poles are approximately 9 feet (about 2.75 m) long and are lying
parallel next to each other on the floor in the beginning. Two pieces of board
or bamboo, about 30 inches long and 2 inches thick, are placed under the
poles, about 1 foot from the ends. (See diagram 1 below)

What are the costumes for Tinikling Dance?

sleeves and the patadyong is a pineapple fiber blouse paired with checkered
skirts. They dance barefoot.
