In the mid 1950's the late National Artist for
Dance, Dr. Francisca Reyes-Aquino and the
resident artist Simeona F. Chanyungco
thoroughly explored to search for a dance
around here. They discovered this dance in
the old Parang, Marikina (formerly part of
Rizal).
History discloses to us that Parang for many years was a
typical agricultural town. Today, we don't discover a hint of
the old Parang of yesteryears. But looking back one can
find a trace in the olden days, townspeople would group
together after their harvest in the spirit of sense of
community and fun. They would sing and extemporize
nonsensical rhymes to their tunes and afterward would
immediately put movement into their songs. The words in
Leron, Leron Sinta give a picture of a space loaded up with
trees and plants, birds and bees, animals and insects, being
observed and delighted in by the locals in their habitat.
Eventually these unadulterated movements of nature were
gradually absorbed in the life and culture of the town such
as in their expression of love and courtship. This was the
Parang of yesteryears that embraced Lerion as their festival
dance (a concocted) word from Leron Leron Sinta.
Being a Marikeño, it is a must that we know the folk dances of our
city. And at the same time, Balse and Lerion are two local folk
dances which allow you to use your body and help you to be
physically active and engage in dancing as a physical activity.
The name of the dance Lerion was derived from the popular folk
song Leron, Leron, Sinta. This festival dance is a favorite of the
old people of Barrio Parang in Marikina, Rizal.
