NATURE AND BACKGROUND OF THE FOLK DANCES

Folk dance is a form of dance developed by a group of people that

reflects the traditional life of the people of a certain country or region.
Philippine folk dances speak so much about the heartbeat of our people
for they talk about our traditions, ideas, beliefs, superstitions, and events of
daily living in a certain community. Just by looking at the costumes, props, and
implements of a certain group or tribe would tell you of the origin of the dance.
The kind of music being used readily also talks about the influences brought
about by trade and settlement of our neighboring countries such as China,
Malaysia, Indonesia, Burma, Cambodia, Thailand, and Japan to name a few.
Truly evident is the effect of acculturation in the country as manifested by the
kinds of costumes, props, music, and dance steps that are used and integrated
into some of our regional and national folk dances.

Study these dances carefully and imbibe in you their importance to the
development of cultural values

PANGALAY
Dance Francisca Reyes-Aquino
Researcher:
Meaning: Finger nail
Dance Culture: Muslim-lowland (Coastal)
Place of Origin: Sulu
Country of Thailand, Malaysia, Burma,
Influence: Cambodia, and Indonesia
Ethno-linguistic Tausug
Group:
Classification: Wedding/Festival Dance

Background:
Pangalay (also known as Daling-Daling or Mengalai in Sabah) is the
traditional “fingernail” dance of the Tausug people of the Sulu Archipelago and
Sabah. This dance is the most distinctively Asian of all the Southern Philippine
dances because dancers must have dexterity and flexibility of the shoulders,
elbows, and wrist – movements that strongly resemble those of “kontaw silat,”
a martial art common in the Malay Archipelago. The Pangalay is performed
mainly during weddings or other festive events. The male equivalent of the
Pangalay is the Pangasik and features more martial movements, while a
Pangalay that features both a male and female dancer is called Pangiluk.
The original concept of the Pangalay is based on the pre-Islamic
Buddhist concept of male and female celestial angels (Sanskrit: Vidhyadhari,
Bahasa Sug: Biddadari) who are common characters in other Southeast
Asian dances.

 BINISLAKAN
Dance Francisca Reyes-
Researcher: Aquino
Meaning: With the use of the
sticks
Dance Culture: Christian-lowland
Place of Origin: Lingayen,
Pangasinan
Country of China
Influence:
Ethno-linguistic Pangasinese
Group:
Classification: Social Dance

Background:
Lingayen in Pangasinan means “having to look backward and upward.”
It was derived from “Li-King-Tung”, a Chinese word given to the name
Lingayen, the capital of Pangasinan, by the Chinese settlers of this place a long
time ago. The barrio folks who lived at Almazin, a small place between barrio
Pulong and Maniboc danced this to commemorate the stay of Limahong, a
Chinese pirate who built his kingdom here.
The dancers look backward or upward in some of the movements
hence, the name Lingayen. They also use two sticks to produce rhythms,
imitating the chopsticks used by the Chinese eating. Thus, the dance is also
called Binislakan, which in Pangasinan means “with a use of the sticks.”

SUA-KU-SUA
Dance Ramon A. Obusan
Researcher:
Meaning: My Pomelo Tree
Dance Culture: Muslim-lowland
(Coastal)
0Place of Jolo, Sulu
Origin:
Country of China, Malaysia, and
Influence: Indonesia
Ethno-linguistic Tausug
Group:
Classification: Courtship

6
Background:
The Tausug of Sulu, Southern Philippines, though known as fearsome
warriors are also better known as sturdy seafarers and hardy farmers.
Extensive orchards are planted with coconuts and pomelos and fields with
staples like rice and root crops.
Their dependence on pomelo fruits for their livelihood inspired them to
create Sua-Ku-Sua Dance. The movements of the dance compare sua’s gentle
leaves, slender branches, attractive fruits, and fragrant flowers to a lady. During
the performance, the couples sing while flapping two white fans which
represent the leaves rustling in the wind.
The performers, especially the women, dance with faces thickly covered
with finely ground rice powder. Their eyebrows and sideburns are enhanced
with soot for aesthetic purposes.

SAKUTING
Dance Francisca Reyes-
Researcher: Aquino
Meaning: Refers to rhythmic
sticks producing the
accompaniment for the
dance.
Place of Origin: Abra and Ilocos Norte
Country of China
Influence:
Classification: Social Dance

Background:
This is a dance of the ethnic people living in the western side of the
Cordilleras way back before the coming of the Americans to our country. During
Christmas, young boys and girls accompanied by their elders would go to the
lowlands, especially in Abra and Ilocos Norte to dance in front of the houses
and ask for gifts. These young children hold sticks, one on each hand and strike
them together to make their dance livelier. The people in the homes would give
them money, homemade delicacies, and other things.
These dancing groups later reached as far as the coastal towns of Ilocos
region as years went by. The rhythmic sounds produced by the stick attracted
other children and adults and they also learned the dance. “Sakuting” is an
ethnic term which refers to the rhythmic sticks producing the accompaniment
for the dance.

BASIC DANCE STEPS IN FOLK DANCING

Regular physical activity is considered one of the most important factors

for lifestyle, for maintaining good health in older ages and increasing life
expectancy. Dance is considered an activity that involves coordinating
movements with music, as well as brain activation because it is constantly
necessary to learn and remember new steps. Dance as a musical-kinetics skill,
requires the coordination of body movements with rhythmic stimuli, developing
the adaptability of the movement.
Many people enjoy learning basic steps in folk dance in order to
participate in either a social or religious tradition, or sometimes just to get some
exercise. Whatever your reason for learning, folk dancing is a fun form of
movement that involves dancers from all ages and backgrounds.
Folk dancing is a broad term used to describe a wide array of
dances. Every culture around the world has its own folk dances, and there are
usually specific ones for big celebrations like weddings. The term "folk dance"
is simply defined as a dance that has a particular set of steps or figures that
repeat in time to music. There are also usually partners in folk dancing, where
everyone from one couple to many couples can dance at one time.
While folk dancing varies throughout the world, there are a few
fundamental steps that can be found in almost every dance and style. Many
steps are ones you have likely seen before, while others may seem unique and
challenging upon first attempt.
The following dance terms and dance steps are basically used in
Binislakan, Sakuting, Sua-Ku-Sua, Pangalay and Tiklos. You are to master all
these dance steps which will be used later in your activities.
Study them carefully and demonstrate the dance steps with the help of
your teacher.
