    AND BENEFITS
    Tinikling is one of the most popular folk dances not only in the
    Philippines but to many parts of the world where there are Filipinos.
    This dance attests the close association of the Filipinos with the
    biodiversity in the environment. Tinikling was once the national dance
    of the Philippines portraying the attempts of the farmers to catch
    tikling or Slaty-breasted Rail. It is a traditional Philippine folk dance
    which began during the Spanish colonial era. The dance involves two
    people beating, tapping, and sliding bamboo poles on the ground and
    against each other in coordination with one or more dancers who step
    over and in between the poles in a dance. It is traditionally danced to
    rondalla music, a sort of serenade played by an ensemble of stringed
    instruments which originated in Spain during the Middle Ages.
    • Originated in Leyte during the Spanish
    colonial era.
    • Name comes from the "tikling" bird,
    since the dance imitates its
    movements
    • Performed at schools and during
    special events for Filipinos as a
    celebration of culture.

    ORIGIN STORIES
    • Coming from the Spanish colonial era itself. • When workers would go at home,
    When native Filipinos were working too slow they'd practice escaping the punishment,
    turning tinikling into a challenge, art, and
    at the plantations, they were punished by
    dance.
    standing between bamboo sticks. • Another story is simply that the
    • Natives would try to escape from this dance was made in order to prevent birds
    punishment by jumping when the sticks were from getting into the crops.

    The art of dance does not only serve as a
    symbolic expression of Filipino culture, but it
    enhances our health and skill-related fitness as
    well. Furthermore, dance may improve our
    emotional and mental personalities. Despite its
    age, the dance is essential for motor skill
    development.
    Tinikling embodies many of the values that are
    important to the Philippines as it represents
    nature and life through its props, attire, and
    entertaining dance moves. Likewise, many
    Filipinos believe Tinikling represents their main
    character traits, including resilience and fun.
    The main key feature of Tinikling dance is the iconic
    pair of bamboo poles, usually 6-12 feet long. There are
    also other variations where there are 2 pairs of poles
    (4 in total) forming a cross pattern.

    Tinikling Dance involves two people holding the poles


    and clacking and/or sliding them together in
    coordination to form a beat, or to follow the beat in
    music being played. Whilst the poles are beaten
    together, one or more dancers step in and out
    between the poles. The dancers must dance to the
    beat to the music so that they don’t get caught
    getting their ankles hit between the poles.
    • Women wear a dress called balintawak,
    a colorful dress with wide arched sleeves, or
    a patadyong, a pineapple fiber blouse paired
    with a checkered skirt.
    • Men wear a barong Tagalog,
    an embroidered dress shirt, the country’s
    national outfit for Filipino men. This is usually
    a light long sleeved shirt paired with red
    trousers.
    • All are barefoot while performing.
    There will be 2 people facing each other when
    performing this dance. Due to its rhythm, the
    poles are brought together on the third beat
    after being tapped twice on the ground on the
    first two beats. It moves at a speed of 171 BPM.
    At 86 BPM, it can also be used during halftime.
    With a time, signature of four beats per bar, it
    has a lot of intensity and has considerable
    dancing potential.
    At the start of this dance, the poles are placed on the left
    sides of two dancers. They have the right foot lead.
