Philippine Dance

Salidsid
Tribe : Kalinga
 The Salidsid is the Kalinga courtship dance, performed by a
male and female.
 The dance starts when each or the dancers are given
a piece of cloth called ayob or allap.
 Usually the most important people in the village are
the second to dance after the host has signified that the
occasion is formally open. The background and the
meaning in this dance is evident.
 The male simulates the rooster trying to attract the attention
of the hen while the female imitates the movements of a hen
being circled by a rooster. Their walk imitates the climb up the
Rice Terraces in the mountain provinces of the Philippines.
