Philippine Dance in Focus

Early Philippine dances were used for religious rituals and celebrations of important life events like birth, marriage and death. Dances incorporated influences from Hindu, Arabic and Malay cultures and changed over time with Spanish colonization, Japanese occupation, and American education. Traditional dances vary between the different ethnic groups in the Philippines, including dances from the Cordilleras, Muslim groups, and other indigenous peoples across the islands. Some dances imitate nature while others incorporate props like bamboo poles. Dances continue to evolve by blending traditional steps with foreign influences.
