Every individual has rhythm. It is found in all of

nature and is natural to every individual. Rhythm is most clearly seen through dance- the art
of movement
What is rhythm? ---- It is the regular recurrence of accented and unaccented beats.

Everyone reacts to music or rhythm in one form or another. A head swaying, a foot
tapping, fingers snapping, shoulders and body moving while a musical piece is played are
physical reactions.

structure and pattern. It is a composition that implies arrangement of parts into a form.

accompaniment. The word dancing came from an old German word “danson” which means
to “stretch”. Essentially, all dancing is made up of stretching and relaxing.

INTRODUCTION TO PHILIPPINE FOLK DANCE

ILOCOS SUR
POLYTECHNIC STATE
Tagudin Campus
COLLEGE
MODULE
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. Folk dancing originated in the 18th
century to distinguish dance forms of common people from those of the upper classes. It is
traditional dances of a country which were evolved naturally and spontaneously in
connection with everyday activities and experiences of the people who developed them.
Folk dances, unlike most other dance forms, tend to have no stringent rules, and are
sometimes formed spontaneously among groups of people. The steps of folk dances are
passed through generations, rarely being changed.
Philippine Folk Dance is a cultural art form handed down from generation to
generations. It communicates the customs, beliefs, rituals, and occupations of the people of
a region or country. Folk dancing is usually associated with social activities, although some
folk dances are performed competitively. Folk dancing belongs to the people. It emanates
from them. Folk dancing is the heartbeat of the people.
HISTORY
Filipino folk dance history is not the history of a single national dance of one or two
regions. Dances evolved from different regions which are distinct from one another as they
are affected by the religion and culture.
Many people especially Filipinos are fond of dances. Our country is very rich in
different native dances like Cariñosa, Tinikling, La Jota Banal, La Jota Caviteño, etc. Many
of us find it hard to enjoy and get information about dance at the same time. This proposed
system would make it possible for us to enjoy and learn different native dances here in the
Philippines by means of computerizing it.
Folk Dance, recreational or ceremonial dance performed usually by members of the
community to which the dance is traditional. Varying criteria have been used to differentiate
folk dance from other kinds of dance: For example, the dancers are said to belong to a
certain economic level or come from certain locales; the steps are simple and repeated, so
that any member of the community can participate; the dances require no audience; and
they are passed down through many generations. Each of these criteria can be contradicted
by dances that are indisputably folk dances, and in each of these criteria, folk dance
overlaps with other kinds of dance.
During the last few centuries many trends have affected folk dancing. As the spread
of industrialization brought rural people into the growing cities, dances related to agricultural
activities or to communal rituals gradually lost their meaning. In the changing circumstances
of urban life, new dances evolved. Colonization also affected dances-frequently, indigenous
forms fused with dances of the colonial powers. In the Philippines, for example, new dances
developed when Spanish influenced dancers of traditional native forms and Islamic dance
forms and styles.

Types of Folk dances:
1. National – traditional dances of a given country.

2. Regional – local.
3. Character – created by individual or group.
Characteristics of Philippine Folk dances:
1. In general, dancers stand apart.

2. There is little, if any, bodily contact.
3. Most of the dances are done by pairs or couples.
4. Hand movements play an important part.
5. Most dances are in long formation.
6. Most dances begin and end with “saludo.”
7. Dances from the lowlands have more foreign elements those found in the uplands.
8. War dances are found among non-Christian tribes.
Classification of Philippine Dances
CLASSIFICATION OF PHILIPPINE FOLK DANCES
 Muslim Dances
 Igorot Dances
 Tribal Dances
 Maria Clara dances
 Rural Dances
Igorot Dances
Long before the Spaniards, the indigenous people in the mountainous regions had
already their folk dances which reflect their worship, their celebrations, their wars and even
their everyday lives. Scholars refer to them as mountain dances which consisted of different
mountain tribes. When Spaniars came, they called them Igorots.
They dance to appease their ancestors and gods to cure ailments, to insure
successful war-mating activities, or to ward off bad luck or natural calamities. They dance to
congregate and socialize, for general welfare and recreation, and as an outlet for repressed
feeling. They also dance to insure bountiful harvests, favorable weather, and to mark
milestones in the cycle of life.
So the dances evolve as they need them to express their feelings, their sadness and
their anger.
Muslim/Moro 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 of Muslim however predated the Muslim influence. Like Ipat which 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
Course Code: PE 103
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.

ILOCOS SUR
POLYTECHNIC STATE

MODULE
Singkil was introduced after the 14th century. It was based on the epic legend of
Darangan of the Maranao people 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.
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. As in
most ancient cultures, unlike the Muslim tribes in their midst, their dances are nonetheless
closely intertwined with ceremonials, rituals and sacrifices.
The only dance that is believed to have evolved during the Spanish colonization is
the Talaingod dance which is performed to the beat of four drums by a female, portrays a
virgin-mother bathing and cradling her newborn baby, named Liboangan. She supposedly
had a dream, or pandamggo, that she was to bear such a child. This concept of a virgin-birth
may have been derived from the Catholic faith
Maria Clara Dances
The history of the Philippines is that of a country constantly melding its culture with
that of outsiders, a narrative that is exemplified well by Filipino folk dance history. For
example, the 300-year Spanish occupation of the Philippines profoundly influenced folk
dancing. The ‘Maria Clara’ style of dance is named after a Spanish-style dress, and its
performance includes Spanish footwork with Filipino modifications such as bamboo
castanets and Asian fans. Contact with ancient Indian civilization is also evident through
Indian-influenced dance, which thrives particularly in the South. Numerous other influences
including Muslim and Indonesian can be found throughout the Philippines.
The coming of the Spaniards in the 16th century brought a new influence in
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. Maria Clara was the chief
female character of Jose Rizal's Noli Me Tangere. Displaying a very strong Spanish
influence, these dances were, nonetheless, "Filipinized" as evidence of the use of bamboo
castanets and the abanico, or Asian fan. Typical attire for these dances are the formal Maria
Clara dress and barong tagalog, an embroidered long-sleeve shirt made of pineapple fiber.
Rural and Barrio
Perhaps the best known and closest to the Filipino heart 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 for music, and pleasure in the simplicities of life. Typical attire in the Rural Suite include
the colorful balintawak and patadyong skirts for the women, and camisa de chino and
colored trousers for the men. The dances developed during the three hundred years of
Spanish
Course Code: colonization.
PE 103
A good example of rural or barrio dances is Sinulog. It is a ceremonial dance
performed by the people of San Joaquin, Iloilo, during the feast of San Martin. It originated in
a barrio of San Joaquin called Sinugbahan. It was believed that the image of San Martin was

Dance has been used for many purposes throughout the

ages and in different cultures. Dance has been a part of a ritual and religious occassios and is a vital
part of self-expression. Dancing is a great outlet for conveying feelings or emotions.
Through dance, people can identify and express their innermost emotions and bring those
feelings to the surface. In doing so, this can bring about a sense of renewal, feelings of unity and
completenes.
Philippine folk dances are a celebration of daily life, health, peace, war, harvest times and other
aspects of life. According to the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, Philippine folk dances
imitate nature and life because they are rituals for social and spiritual expression.
Thus, dancing can be a tool in improving not only our physical health but also in improving
emotional, mental, psychological and religious life of a person. Learning about dance is not only
learning how to move but learning how to express what cannot be spoken.
