the diversity of Philippine dances is
“manifested in different dynamics and
forms, grew out of the various contexts
and experiences of the people.”
This explains how the movement and
choreography are based on the different
environments in the archipelago.

 It is derived from the movements of the tinikling
bird as it wanders on grass stems and crushes
several branches of trees
 Dance performers skip gracefully back and forth
while trying to avoid getting their feet caught by
two bamboo poles.
