Background / Context:

Like many small islands, Bantigue of Masbate rely on the sea to supply fish

to great parts of the Bicol region.

Each dawn, Bantigue village awaits the arrival of boats with their catch.

Gathered on the beach with the people are thousands of lapay or seagulls, flying

overhead or moving around the sand and seashore. To while away their time,
people

turn their attention to the lapay, shooing them or imitating their flight, swoops, dives

and glides. This playful frolicking started the first steps of an unrehearsed dance.

Music was brought in later to lend order and form. It did not take long before couples

competed in show-offs lapay antics, the very core of what lapay is today.

How did Cheerdancing start?

Cheerleading history is linked closely to the United States’s history of sports, its sporting venues,
as well as the historical development of overall crowd participation at many Athletic events (history
of cheerleading, 2015). However, its origin can be traced as far back as the late 19th century
where in 1860’s students from

Great Britain began to cheer and chant in unison for their favorite athletes at sporting events. This
event eventually reached and influenced America (timeline of cheerleading, 2012). In the late
1880’s the first organized recorded yell done in locomotive style was performed in an American
campus and was

first seen and heard during a college football game. However, organized all-male cheerleading
only transpired when Thomas Peebles, one of the graduates of Princeton University, brought the
yell and the football sports to the University of Minnesota in 1884.
