TINIKLING
One of the most popular folk dances in
the Philippines is the Tinikling.
•
It involves a pair of two bamboo poles,
is considered to be the oldest in the
country and its appeal has spread
across the globe—particularly to the
United States.
the tikling bird
The Tinikling is said to be named
after the long-legged bird called
the tikling in the Philippines.

the Tinikling imitates the

movements of a tikling bird as it
walks over the grass or dodges
bamboo traps set by Filipino
farmers on vast rice fields.
historical backround
The Tinikling dance originated during the Spanish occupation in the Philippines—
particularlyon the island of Leyte.

Rice farmers on the Visayan Islands usually set up bamboo traps toprotect their
fields, yet tikling birds dodged their traps. Locals imitated the birds’ movement,
and supposedly, that’s how this dramatic traditional folk dance was born.

• •
historical backround
In some versions, according to legend, the dance originated during the Spanish
colonial era when
locals were ordered by the King of Spain to work on large plantations.
Those who did not follow his orders or worked too slowly were given a punishment: to
stand in between two bamboo poles. These poles were then clapped together in an
effort to beat the Filipino natives’ feet.

To escape this punishment, the Filipinos would jump when the two
poles were about to be clapped. This practice of jumping between the
poles eventually transformed from
a challenge into an artistic dance.

the Tinikling is
considered a national
•
dance in the Philippines
and almost every Filipino
knows how to do it.

Tinikling is usually performed on special

occasions like traditional Filipino festivals
or at school and theater performances.

Some say that this dance represents most

Filipinos’ two main character traits: They’re
resilient and fun-loving.
•
To dance the Tinikling, you need two
pairs of bamboo poles that are each 6–
12 feet long (about 1.8–3.7 meters).

While only two bamboo poles are

involved in this dance, some versions
use four bamboo poles, where the pairs
are arranged in a cross-like pattern.

To avoid getting their ankles caught in

between the poles, dancers must listen
closely and follow the rhythm of the
music.
FEMALE DANCERS
Female dancers usually wear a
dress called a Balintawak (a
colorful dress with arched
•
sleeves) or a Patadyong (a
checkered loose skirt that’s often
worn with a thin-fibered blouse).
•
Males wear an embroidered formal
shirt that’s untucked called the
Barong Tagalog—which is the
country’s national outfit for Filipino
men. The Barong is usually paired
with red trousers. All dancers
perform the Tinikling while
barefoot.
tinikling music
•
The poles are used as percussive
instruments accompanying rondalla music
played with string instruments (usually
bandurrias, guitars, laúdes, octavinas, or
ukuleles). They produce clapping sounds
as they are struck against the ground (or
two raised pieces of wood) and each
other in a triple metre pattern.
