    LESSON 10

    THE NATIONAL ARTISTS OF THE PHILIPPINES FOR DANCE


    Introduction
    According to dance scholar B. E. S. Villaruz, “the diversity of Philippine dances, as manifested in different
    dynamics and forms, grew out of the various contexts and experiences of the people. This explains how the
    movement and choreography are based on the environments of the archipelago.
    One of the oldest dances in the country is the Tinikling, the word being derived from the movements of
    the tikling bird as it wanders on grass stems and crushes several branches of trees. Carinosa, another well – liked
    dance, is in itself a Spanish word that means “the loving or affectionate one”. This is a courtship dance which is
    closely associated with Panay Island in the Visayas region.
    Home to the Muslim majority in the country, Mindanao is known for its spirituality, royalty, and splendor,
    which are evident in its dances. Muslim dances are known by their colorful and elaborate costumes, and precise
    and regal movements. These include the Pangalay, Burung Talo, and Asik.

    Francisca Reyes Aquino is one of the pioneers of Filipino folk dances. She has conducted research on
    Filipino dances by visiting secluded districts and neighborhoods in Luzon in the 1920s. Her 1926 thesis entitled
    “Philippine Folk Dances and Games”, has been a thorough guide to educators and students in understanding the
    different dances in the country. She has received several awards, including the Republic Award of Merit, and a
    UNESCO Cultural Award.

    pioneered the blending of folk dance and ballet, making the latter more viable. Inspired by the dances of the Igorots,
    the Moros, and Christians, she has produced Filipinescas: Philippine Life, Legend, and Lore in Dance in 1960. In
    1980, she has produced another book The Dances of the Emerald Isles: A Great Philippine Heritage, which covers a
    comprehensive cross section of the inestimable music and dance tradition of the Filipinos.
