What Is It

Forms of Philippine Folk Dances

Rural Dances Perhaps the known and closest to the Filipino hearts are the dances from the rural Christian lowlands: a country blessed with so much beauty. To the Filipinos, these dances illustrate the fiesta spirit and demonstrate a love of life. They express a joy in work, a love of life. They express a joy in work, a love for music, and pleasure in the simplicities of life. Typical attire in the Rural Suite includes the colorful Balintawak and Patadyong and skirts for women, and Camisa de Chino and colored trousers for men.

Spanish Influence Dances The coming of the Spaniards in the 16th century brought a new influence in the Philippine life. A majority of the Filipinos were converted to Roman Catholicism. European cultural ideas spread and the Filipinos adapted and blended to meet the local conditions. These dances reached their zenith in popularity around the turn of the century, particularly among urban Filipinos. They are so named in honor of the legendary Maria Clara, who remains a symbol of the virtues and nobility of the Filipina woman.

4 | P a g e Maria Clara was the chief female character of Jose ’s Noli Me Tangere. Displaying a very strong Spanish influence, these dances were, nonetheless, “Filipinized” as evidence of the use of bamboo castanets and abanico, or Asian fan. Typical attire for these dances is the formal Maria Clara dress and , an embroidered long-sleeve shirt made of pineapple fiber.

Mindanao Dances Mindanao and Sulu were never conquered by Spain. Islam was introduced in the Philippines in the 12th century before the discovery of the islands by Magellan in 1521. The dances in Muslim however predated the Muslim influence. Like Ipat wich was a dance to appease ancestral spirits. Before Islam, the Maguindanaons held the view that diseases are caused by tonong (ancestral spirits). Thus, a folk healer performs the pag-ipat while being possessed by the tinunungan (spirit). Another is the dance Baluang which creates the illusion of an angry monkey, and is always performed by male dancers. The popularity of this dance comes naturally, since the baluang, or monkey, enjoys an affectionate place in Asian folklore. Singkil was introduced after the 14th century. It was based on the epic legend of Darangan of the of Mindanao. It tells of the story of a Muslim Princess, Gandingan who was caught in the middle of a forest during an earthquake caused by the diwatas, or fairies of the forest.

Cordillera Dances These are the dances of mountain tribes in Northern Luzon, such as those of the and people. Cordillera, a name given by the Spanish Conquistadors when they first saw the mountain ranges. Meaning “knotted rope”, the Spanish term refers to the jumbled rolls and dips of this long-range traversing the northern part of part of Luzon Island. Today, if one is to generalize one of the six ethno-linguistics tribes as an “Igorot” is considered degrading. Living amidst the rice terraces that tower over Northern Luzon are a people whose way of life existed long before any Spaniard or other foreigners stepped foot on the Philippines. The Bontoc, Ifugao, , , and the Kalinga tribes reign over Luzon’s mountain terrain.

Ethnic/Tribal Dances The cultural minorities that live in the hills and mountains throughout the Philippine Archipelago considered dances as basic part of their lives. Their Culture and animistic beliefs predated Christianity and Islam. Dances are performed essentially for the gods.
