 A folkdance is a dance developed by people that reflect the life of the
people in that certain country or region. Not all ethnic dances are folk
dances. For example, ritual dances or dances of ritual origin are not
considered to be folk dances.

Ritual dances are usually called "Religious dances" because of their

purpose. The terms "ethnic" and "traditional" are used when it is required to
emphasize the cultural roots of the dance. In this sense, nearly all folk
dances are ethnic ones.

If some dances, such as polka, cross ethnic boundaries and even

cross the boundary between "folk" and "ballroom d (Sales n.d.)ance", ethnic
differences are often considerable enough to mention.

What is It

Folk Dance
a form of dance developed
by a group of people that
reflects the traditional life of
the people of a certain
country or region.

Philippine folk dances speak so much about the heartbeat of our people for they
tell about our customs, ideas, beliefs, superstitions, and events of daily living in a
certain community. Just by looking at the costumes, props, and implements of a
certain group or tribe would tell you of the origin of the dance. The kind of music being
used readily also tells about the influences brought by trade and settlement of our
neighboring countries such as China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Burma, Cambodia,
Thailand and Japan to name a few. Truly evident is the effect of acculturation in the
4 NegOr_Q4_MAPEH8_Module4a_v2
country as manifested by the kinds of costumes, props, music, and dance steps that
are used and integrated into some of our regional and national folk dances.

Study these dances carefully and imbibe in you their importance to the
development of cultural values.

Background:

Lingayen in Pangasinan means having to look backward and upward. It was

derived from “Li-King-Tung”, a Chinese word given to the name Lingayen, the capital
of Pangasinan, by the Chinese settlers of this place a long time ago. The barrio folks
who lived at Almazin, a small place between barrio Pangasinan (Pulong) and Maniboc
danced this to commemorate the stay of Limahong, a Chinese pirate who built his
kingdom here.

Background/Context:
Pangalay (also known as Daling-Daling or Mengalai in Sabah) is the
traditional “fingernail” dance of the Tausūg people of the Sulu Archipelago and Sabah.
This dance is the most distinctively Asian of all the Southern Philippine dances
because dancers must have dexterity and flexibility of the shoulders, elbows, and
wrists – movements that strongly resemble those of “kontaw silat,” a martial art
common in the Malay Archipelago. The Pangalay is performed mainly during weddings
or other festive events. The male equivalent of the Pangalay is the Pangasik and
features more martial movements, while a pangalay that features both a male and
female dancer is called Pangiluk.
