TINIKLING
WHAT IS
TINIKLING
DANCE ?
Tinikling is a traditional Philippine folk
dance which originated during the
Spanish colonial era. The dance involves
at least two people beating, tapping, and
sliding bamboo poles on the ground and
against each other in coordination with
one or more dancers who step over and
in between the poles in a dance. It is
traditionally danced to rondalla music, a
sort of serenade played by an ensemble
of stringed instruments which originated
in Spain during the Middle Ages. The
locomotor movements used in tinikling
are hopping, jumping, and turning.
IN WESTERN
WORLD
In the Western world, particularly in the United
States, the Tinikling dance is taught in many K-12
classes as a form of anaerobic exercise.
Because of the unique and fun dance steps of
the Tinikling dance, many schools have adopted it
in their physical education classes to train the
students on physical skills like hand coordination
and foot speed and sharpen their sense of rhythm.
However, the Tinikling dance in the US is a
modified form. Instead of a three-beat pattern,
they’re usually taught with a four-beat pattern to
fit with the rhythm of modern pop music.
Then, instead of bamboo poles, the poles used in
such classes are typically fashioned from PVC and
plastic pipes.
Many classes even remove the poles altogether
and tie the feet of two students together with
elastic bands. The dancers will hop in between the
bands held by these two students, and the elastic-
banded students will simulate the “clapping”
motions by jumping with their feet apart and
together.
This way, it’s not just the dancers that get to do
anaerobic exercise, but the students that are
chosen to hold the rubber bands are too.
IN ASIA
The Tinikling dance is mostly performed in
the Philippines. In the country, this dance is
usually performed as part of a “rural suite,”
which includes other colonial-era dances
from the regions of Luzon and Visayas. Such
performances aim to imitate the simple and
modest lifestyles of the people back in the
day.
THE
HISTORY
OF
TINIKLING DANCE
1ST VERSION
The first version says that the Tinikling dance
came into being during the Spanish
colonization of the Philippines, specifically,
the island of Leyte.

At the time, the people living in the Visayas (a


chain of six islands that includes the Leyte)
were mostly rice farmers. The rice crops were
often attacked by a species of bird known
locally as Tinikling.
Today, in the
Western
world, these
birds are
known as buff-
banded rails
(Hypotaenidia
philippensis).
The locals set up bamboo traps to
protect the crops from these birds.
However, the traps didn’t work, and the
birds would jump over the bamboo poles
built to trap them.

Soon, the locals imitated the hopping


motion of the birds, and the Tinikling
dance (also named after the bird) was
created! .....
2ND VERSION
The second version also takes place in the
Spanish-occupied Philippines. The King of Spain
ordered the local Filipinos to work the fields in
large plantations.

Anyone who worked too slowly or didn’t meet


the quotas at the time was punished. The
punishment involved standing in-between
bamboo poles that clapped together to strike the
farmer’s feet.
The farmers would jump before the
bamboo poles were clapped to dodge
the punishment. Eventually, the jumping
motion was converted into an artistic
dance form, which we now enjoyed on-
stage as the Tinikling dance today.
Tinikling
Dance Music
During a Tinikling performance, a live string
band will usually play Rondalla music in the
background. Rondalla music is a type of Western
music that originates from Medieval Spain.
As you may have guessed, it was brought over
from Europe to the Philippines during the colonial
era and was incorporated into the fabric of the
Philippines’ culture.
The string band performing the music will
usually consist of several musicians, each playing
a special instrument ranging from guitars and
ukuleles to bandurrias, octavinas, and laúdes.
