PHILIPPINE FOLK

DANCE
MINDANAO
• The Philippine folk dances are perhaps the easiest
dances to understand and perform due to its
simplicity, quickness and liveliness.
• No single Philippine dance exists without
meaning since most of them if not all reflect
lifestyle, moods, feelings, sentiments and the soul
of their total social being.
Dugso
The dance must have originated from bukidnon, northeastern
Mindanao since they are performed as an entertainment for
deities in fiestas organized for them.
Itik-itik

• The dance originated from Surigao del Norte, Mindanao,


Philippines. According to the story, a young woman named
Kanang (short for Cayetana) was the best dancer in that
province. At one baptismal celebration, she introduced new
steps which were improvisations of the dance Sibay. She
imitated the movements of the ducks or itik. Because of its
unusual steps and fascinating interpretation, the audience
began imitating her
Singkil
• Also known as the Princess Dance or Royal Maranao
Fan Dance, the dance is based on the Maranao
interpretation of the ancient Indian Epic, the
Ramayana: the Darangen.
Karasaguyon

• The dance is classified under Tribal dance. It originated


from Lake Sebu, South Cotabato. “Karasaguyon” of the
T’boli portrays a polygamous mali in the process of
picking his next wife from among four sisters vying for
his attention. The jingling of beads and brass bells
around their waists and ankles provide musical
accompaniment.
Asik( ah-SIHK)

attendant to win the favor of her sultan master. Asik
usually precedes a performance of Singkil.
Udol( ooh-DOHL)

• This dance is classified under Tribal Dances. It


originated from the Tagakaulo tribe of Southern
Davao. This is a ceremonial dance which portrays
death and revenge. It opens with three women walking
in the votive candles, mourning the loss of a relative.
Maglangka

• Originated from Jolo, Sulu is classified under Muslim


Dance. Literally meaning “to dance”, the Maglangka is
used to mold the adolescent girls into ladies of good
breeding and accomplished dancing skills.
Pangalay(pahng-AH-lahy)

• This dance is classified under Muslim/ Moro dance. It is a


popular festival dance dance in Sulu, during wedding
celebrations among the affluent families. They may last for
several days or even weeks depending on the financial status
and agreement of both families.
• Dancers perform this dance to the music of the kulintangan,
gabbang, and agongs during the wedding feast.
Pag-apir/Pig-apir

• Originated Lanao del Sur, a dance which represents a stately


way of “walking” among the Maranao people. The ladies,
usually from the royal court or affluent members of society,
perform this royal dance preparation for an important
gathering.
