Philippines in the 14th  century, well ahead of the Europeans.
Their conversion of the populace was a modest affair; they were
more interested in commerce than colonization, although they did
establish strongholds and convert the local populace to Islam.
They also created their own folk dances in the areas where they
settled. Singkil is one of the most famous of these dances. It
depicts the plight of a princess caught in a magical earthquake in a
forest. Her faithful servant tries to shield her with a parasol as the
princess gracefully dodges falling trees and is eventually saved by
a prince.

• In 1521, Ferdinand Magellan came to the archipelago. However, the
Spanish did not get a foothold in the Philippines until 1565 , signaling the
start of Spanish colonization. Three centuries of Spanish rule left an
imprint on the Filipinos. Many of them were converted to Catholicism
and forced to take Spanish surnames. Society dance endure  the
European attack, and the artists adjusted forced Christian conviction and
culture to their very own moves, acquiring court movement yet
permeating it with Philippine soul. The Maria Clara dances
merged Spanish court style (and its adapted romance shows) with
Philippine abundance. Maria Clara is the unadulterated and honorable
champion of a novel who speaks to the best characteristics of Filipino
womanhood.

the Filipinos to work on large plantation. The
punishment given to those people who worked slowly or
did not follow the rule was to stand in between two
bamboo stick clapped together to beat their feet. to
prevent punishment try to jump when 2 bamboo stick  
closely to each other. This practice of jumping between
the poles eventually transformed into an artistic dance.
