    As a Lasallian student, I can help in preserving and promoting the dances in our region

    and the country to the rest of the world by keeping the culture alive.  People have been
    doing folk dances for hundreds of years, and there is value keeping that tradition alive.
    As the world advances on every front, folk dances, folk music, folk art, folk stories, are
    all important, even vital, toward keeping various cultures alive. We need to have a way
    for each generation of young people to get in touch with their own roots as well as to
    learn about the roots of others. This is part of what advances understanding and
    acceptance between races, creeds, and cultures and helps us to advance the human
    race into a place of greater exchange of love, acceptance and peace.

    Folk dances are important because they preserve the Philippine culture and pass it on
    to the next generation. They are a uniting force to the Philippine people. Our job is to
    preserve the joyful tunes we’ve inherited from our ancestors and to pass them on to
    others. Strengthening practices such as increasing, reinforcing, integrating, highlighting
    and harnessing folk dances. Folk Dances should not be practiced just for the sake of
    safeguarding our rich cultural heritage. Folk Dance is not just reminiscence of the past
    but acts as a passage connecting the past and the future. Through this passage we
    pass on ideas, values and knowledge which was experienced and gained by our
    ancestors.

    Therefore, dances’ authenticity must be retained as the literature specified. Both


    strengthening and preserving affirm what Phil Bartle (2010) says about the
    characteristics of culture. “Since those traditional songs, dances and music are
    important elements in the identity of those who perform and enjoy them; we strongly
    support the idea of preserving them and adding to them, as well as increasing their
    presence and profile in all societies, and in increasing and expanding their content. A
    strong sense of identity is a valuable element in the strengthening of communities and
    their culture.”
