EXPLAIN
 
The teacher will introduce to the learners the nature and background of
Tinikling.
Tinikling
Tinikling is a dance which originated from the province of Leyte. The basic
movements and steps of this dance were made by imitating the movements of
the Tikling birds (a bird with long legs and a long neck) while playing in the
rice fields and jumping over tree branches.
The performers dance along the sides and between two bamboo poles, about
nine (9) feet long, which are placed horizontally on the ground. The poles are
struck together in time to the music. Skill is demonstrated in dancing between
the bamboos, and in keeping the feet from being caught.
Two (2) bamboo players sit opposite each other on the ground holding the ends
of the bamboo poles. Two pieces of board or bamboo, about thirty (30) inches
long and two (2) inches thick, are placed under the poles, about one foot from
the ends. (see Illustration 1)
Costume: In the dance, the girls wear “Balintawak” or Patadyong. The boys
wear Barong Tagalog and long red trousers with one leg rolled up. They dance
barefoot.
Formation: dancers stand at the left side of the bamboo poles, girls in front
facing the audience (see Illustration 1)
 The Tinikling dance is one of the most popular and well-known of
traditional Philippine dances.The tinikling is a pre-Spanish dance from
the Philippines that involves two people beating, tapping, and sliding 
bamboo poles on the ground and against each other in coordination with
one or more dancers who step over and in between the poles in a dance.
The name is a reference to birds locally known as tikling, which can be
any of a number ofrail species; the term tinikling literally means "tikling-
like."The dance originated in Leyteamong the Visayan islands in the
central Philippines as an imitation of the tikling bird dodging bamboo
traps set by rice farmers. The dance imitates the movement of the tikling
birds as they walk between grass stems, run over tree branches, or dodge
bamboo traps set by rice farmers. Dancers imitate the tikling bird's
legendary grace and speed by skillfully maneuvering between large
bamboo poles.
 Legend says that Tinikling originated during the time when the
Spaniards took over the Philippines. Natives worked on large plantations
under the control of the King of Spain. Those who didn't work
productively were punished by standing between two bamboo poles.

For this traditional folk dance, females wear a dress

called balintawak or patadyong, and males wear a uniform called barong
tagalog. The balintawak are colorful dresses with wide arched sleeves
and the patadyong is a pineapple fiber blouse paired with checkered
skirts. The barong tagalog uniform is usually lightweight long sleeved
shirts and worn with red trousers. Dancers wear no footwear while
performing.

Tinikling involves five steps; during the first four steps, the dancers
dance opposite each other, and during the last step, they start from the
same side of the poles.
 The bamboo is also used as a percussive instrument as it is banged
against the ground (or a piece of wood to make it easier to hold) and
each other in a pattern. The bamboo has to be closed hard enough to
make a sound, and the dancers must be quick enough to not get their foot
(or feet) caught. As the dance continues, the banging of the bamboo
becomes faster and harder, the sound of the clashing bamboo and the
quickness of feet demonstrated by the dancers thrilling and awing the
crowd. In the United States, this dance had been altered into a four-beat
rhythm to adjust to popular music. In some cases, it has been used in
conjunction with traditional Filipino martial arts to demonstrate fleetness
of foot and flow of movement.
Today Tinikling is taught throughout the United States. In grades K-12
they use this type of folk dance as an aerobic exercise for physical
education classes to help expand physical movements such as hand
coordination, foot speed, and also their rhythm. Tinikling is commonly
performed on special occasions such as the Filipino Independence Day 
Independence Day (Philippines). This traditional dance is a celebration
of Filipino culture and Filipino pride.
•The teacher will show video on how to demonstrate the beat
and measure of the dance by tapping and clapping.
ELABORATE
•After introducing the nature and background of Tinikling
