Lecture Discussion
Traditional dances are
dances of the indigenous
communities that show
cultural traits of peoples
from a specific time and
place.
Custom and traditions
( through dance) are
preserved in traditional dance.
Handed down from generation
to generation with fixed set of
patterns, these dances can
either be ethnic o folk.
 According to some
literature, ethnic dance in the
Philippines are classified into
two categories
1. Dances of the non-
Christians referring
to Pre-Hispanic and the
Muslim dances.
2. Dances of the Christians

Performed by the lowland

Filipinos. Dance under this
category have strong
influence from the Western
culture particularly Spain.
 Folk dances are classified according to geographical locations and the
nature of the dances. According to geographical locations folk dances can
be national ( dances with a common basic movements, with slight variations)
or
