Step 1

Folk dance is considered a way for people to communicate, share, and engage with their conventional society and culture. Several styles and aspects of folk dance have been conducted all over the world for years, and are yet executed by numerous societies today. 

Folk dance commemorates the artistic origins of a specific community of people. One can describe Folk dance as a form of ritualistic activity at social parties and festivities. Several types of folk dance elaborate on a culture’s or civilisation's foundational stories, while others may completely promote cultural achievement and pride.

A traditional and formal dance in the Philippines engages us in the cultural deepness of that place. Most of the dances in the Philippines elaborate on the history, beliefs and glory and elegant beauty of the place it is connected with. The artistic dances in the Philippines developed from various regions which are different from one another as they are influenced by religion, belief and culture.
