- This video is about popular Filipino dances. It is part of the Filipino culture inherited from our ancestors.
Here is the description of these 10 Top and Popular Philippine Folk Dances.
1. The Itik-Itik
The best description of the Itik-Itik is that the steps mimic the way a duck walks, as well as the way it splashes water on its back to attract a mate.
According to popular tradition, the dance was created by a lady named Kanang who choreographed the steps while dancing at a baptismal party.
2. The Tinikling
The Tinikling is considered by many to be the Philippines’ national dance.
People perform the dance using bamboo poles.
The dance is composed of three basic steps which include singles, doubles, and hops.
It looks similar to playing jump rope, except that the dancers perform the steps around and between the bamboo poles, and the dance becomes faster until someone makes a mistake and the next set of dancers takes a turn.
3. The Sayaw sa Bangko
Dancers need good balance as they go through a series of movements that include some impressive acrobatics.
This dance traces its roots back to the areas of Pangapisan, Lingayen, and Pangasinan.
4. The Binasuan
Dancers carefully balance three half-filled glasses of rice wine on their heads and hands as they gracefully spin and roll on the ground.
The dance originated in Bayambang in the Pangasinan province, and though it’s usually performed alone, it can also become a competition between several dancers.

5. The Pandanggo sa Ilaw
The Pandanggo sa Ilaw is similar to a Spanish Fandango, but the Pandanggo is performed while balancing three oil lamps - one on the head, and one in each hand.
It’s a lively dance that originated on Lubang Island.

6. The Pandanggo Oasiwas
The Pandanggo Oasiwas is similar to the Pandanggo sa Ilaw, and is typically performed by fishermen to celebrate a good catch. In this version, the lamps are placed in cloths or nets and swung around as the dancers' circle and sway.
7. The Maglalatik
The Maglalatik is a mock war dance that depicts a fight over coconut meat, a highly-prized food.
The dance is broken into four parts: two devoted to the battle and two devoted to reconciling.
The men of the dancewear coconut shells as part of their costumes, and they slap them in rhythm with the music.
8. The Kappa Malong-Malong
The Kappa Malong-Malong is a Muslim-influenced dance. The malong is a tubular garment, and the dance essentially shows the many ways it can be worn. There are men’s and women’s versions of the dance since they wear malongs in different ways.
9. The Cariñosa
The Cariñosa is a dance made for flirting! Dancers make a number of flirtatious movements as they hide behind fans or handkerchiefs and peek out at one another. The essence of the dance is the courtship between two sweethearts.
10. The Singkil
The Singkíl originated from the Maranao people who inhabit the shores of Lake Lanao. It is derived from a story in the Darangen, the pre-Islamic Maranao interpretation of the ancient Hindu Indian epic, the Ramayana. The name of the dance itself means “to entangle the feet with disturbing objects such as vines or anything in your path”. It is a popular dance performed during celebrations and other festive entertainment. Originally only women, particularly royalty, danced the Singkíl, which serves as either a conscious or unconscious advertisement to potential suitors.
The lead dancer, in the role of Putri Gandingan (the Darangen name for Sita), graciously step in and out of closing bamboos poles arranged in either a parallel, rectangular, or criss-cross fashion while manipulating either apir (fans), mosala (scarves), or even just their bare hands. A kulintang and agung ensemble always accompanies the dance.
These dances are often performed here in the Philippines and in other countries where there is a large concentration of Filipinos, as a program of festivals there. 🎶💃🕺

Thank you.
Some of dances & music have lots of Spanish/Mexican influence. Philippines is absolutely unique. It wouldn’t have hurt if Spanish was kept as a third National language. Good things more & more Filipinos are learning Spanish.
Thank you very much for sharing your thought. 🙂

Tinikling considered by many as Phil Natl Folk Dance? What does that mean?
It was the Phil. National Folk Dance before the Marcos Sr. administration in 1970's. During his term until now, Cariñosa is the national folk dance. I hope it helps. Thank you.😊

Yung mga sayaw na Rural at Maria Clara na ang musika ay Hispaniko, gamit ang bandurya, laud, oktabina at gitara, pati na bajo de arco na siya ding ginagamit na instrumento sa mga sayawin sa España, lalo na sa Aragon, pero iba ang tinig ng rondalya kay sa tinig ng nasa España
Marami pong salamat sa pagbabahagi ng ilang impormasyon. 🙂
