    ITIK-ITIK

    The best description of the Itik-Itik is that the steps mimic the way a duck walks,
    as well as the way it splashes water on its back to attract a mate. According to
    popular tradition, the dance was created by a lady named Kanang who
    choreographed the steps while dancing at a baptismal party. The other guests
    copied her movements, and everyone liked the dance so much that it has been
    passed along ever since.
    TINIKLING

    The Tinikling is considered by many to be the Philippines' national dance. The


    dance's movements imitate the movement of the tikling bird as it walks around
    through tall grass and between tree branches. People perform the dance using
    bamboo poles. The dance is composed of three basic steps which include singles,
    doubles and hops. It looks similar to playing jump rope, except that the dancers
    perform the steps around and between the bamboo poles, and the dance becomes
    faster until someone makes a mistake and the next set of dancers takes a turn.
    BINASUAN

    The Binasuan is an entertaining dance that is usually performed at festive social


    occasions like weddings and birthdays. Dancers carefully balance three half-filled
    glasses of rice wine on their heads and hands as they gracefully spin and roll on
    the ground. The dance originated in Bayambang in the Pangasinan province, and
    though it's usually performed alone, it can also become a competition between
    several dancers.
    PANDANGGO SA ILAW

    The Pandanggo sa Ilaw is similar to a Spanish Fandango, but the Pandanggo is


    performed while balancing three oil lamps - one on the head, and one in each
    hand. It's a lively dance that originated on Lubang Island. The music is in 3/4
    time and is usually accompanied by castanets.
    MAGLALATIK

    The Maglalatik is a mock war dance that depicts a fight over coconut meat, a
    highly-prized food. The dance is broken into four parts: two devoted to the battle
    and two devoted to reconciling. The men of the dance wear coconut shells as part
    of their costumes, and they slap them in rhythm with the music. The Maglalatik is
    danced in the religious procession during the fiesta of Biñan as an offering to San
    Isidro de Labrador, the patron saint of farmers.
