    The Philippines has a rich tradition of dance that was influenced by different cultures over time. Originally, indigenous tribes had their own dances like those from Cordillera. Under Spanish rule, European dances like jotas, fandanggos and waltzes became popular. Later, American vaudeville and Broadway musical styles gained interest among Filipinos. As American culture grew, Filipinos formed their own dance troupes and ballet became more established, while modern dance also emerged.

    The Philippines has a very rich tradition in dance.

    Filipinos already had their own set of music and


    dances before the Spaniards came, for example are Cordillera Dances in Bontoc, Ifugao, and
    Kalinga tribes. While jotas, fandanggos, mazurkas, and waltzes are Spanish influenced dances that
    reflects Christianity, and European art and culture. Just like in the Spanish colonization, the
    Americans brought in their own commercial and global culture which influenced Filipinos. They got
    more interested in the American vaudeville (bodabil) or “stage show” Which is filled with both
    theatrical and circus acts, and more reminiscent of Broadway musicals. As with the growth of
    American influence over dance in the country, Filipinos had started creating their own dance
    troupes;  European classical ballet also gained more popularity following the American dances.
    Aside from the rise of American dances and European style ballet, modern dance had also started
    taking form during this period in the vaudeville circuit. Other modern dancers also performed in the
    country which led to some Filipinos training under this dance style.
