Singkil-Muslim Dance

Singkil (or Sayao sa Kasingkil)falls under Muslim dances. It is a famous Philippine dance of the Maguindanao people, but was popularized by the nearby Maranao peoples of Lake Lanao and later the Bayanihan Philippine National Folk Dance Company.

Also known as the Princess Dance or the Royal Maranao Fan Dance, the dance is based on the Maranao interpretation of the ancient Indian epic, the Ramayana: the Darangen. The Singkil narrates a scene in which Sita (Putri Gandingan) escapes her abductor, the demon king Ravana and is lost in the forests of Alangka, thereupon being found by her husband, Prince Rama. Interesting to note is that in the original Ramayana epic, Rama selects Hanuman, the Hindu monkey-god, to find Sita on his behalf; the fact that in the Singkil it is Rama (Rajah Bantugan) who finds her suggests a modification of the original Hindu narration in order to agree with monotheistic Islamic ideology.

Kasingkil refers to the art of moving one’s feet in and out of two clicking bamboo poles in imitation of Putri Gandingan who gracefully avoided the falling trees brought about by an earthquake.

Performers would therefore gracefully step in and out of bamboo poles, arranged in crisscross fashion while manipulating either fans or simply their bare hands.Played at celebrations and festivals, traditionally the dance was performed by a girl of royal blood intend on advertising herself to would-be-suitors for her future marriage.

The dance is said to have been named after either the leg bracelets or anklets of silver, nickel or brass with chiming bells of the same name or the act of voluntarily or accidentally entangling on one’s feet in either vines or tall grass.

Pandanggo sa Ilaw

Pandanggo sa Ilaw - The word pandanggo comes from the Spanish dance “fandango”characterized with lively steps and clapping while following a varying ¾ beat. Pandanggo requires excellent balancing skill to maintain the stability of three tinggoy, or oil lamps, placed on head and at the back of each hand. This famous dance of grace and balance originated from Lubang Island, Mindoro.



PANDANGGO SA ILAW

Nang pista sa nayon
Nagsayaw ka hirang
Napakagandang pagmasdan
Ang maliliit mong hakbang
At ang tatlong basong
May taglay na ilaw
Ay tinimbang mong lahat
Sa ulo't sa mga kamay
Ngunit 'di mo alam
Na minamasdan kita
At nabihag mo ako
Sa iyong pandanggong kay sigla
Magbuhat na noon
Ay inaalala ka
Dahil sa walang lakas
Ang puso kong limutin ka
Sa pandanggo mo'y
Hanga ang lahat
Tangan mong mga ilawan
Ni isa'y walang lumagpak
Puso kong ito
Nais ko liyag
Ay ingatan mo na rin
Pagka't ikaw ang may hawak.

Carinosa

Cariñosa ( [ˌkariˈɲosa]) is a flirtatious Philippine group dance in the Maria Clara suite of Philippine folk dances where the fan or handkerchief plays an instrumental roll as it places the couple in a hard-to-get romance scenario.

CARIÑOSA
Traditional

Ang pangarap ko sa pag-ibig
Ay maging akin hanggang langit
Ang isang tapat kung gumiliw
Ang pagsuyo'y di mawawaglit
Matupad ko lamang ang nais
Hahamakin ko ang panganib
Sa pagkat ako'y cariñosa kung umibig

II.
Ang puso laging malulumbay
Kung lilimutin mo
Ang pagsintang wagas aking mahal
Irog ko nahan ang pag-asa
Ng tanging pagsintang
Wari'y magdurusa

III.
Panaligan mo aking giliw
Kailan ma'y hindi lilimutin
Ang iyong pagsuyo sa akin
Iingatan ko hanggang libing
Kung ako'y naging cariosa
Sa piling mo lang aking giliw
Ang pag-ibig ko ay asahang
Walang maliw.

TAGALOG FOLK SONG-TINIKLING

TAGALOG FOLK SONG-TINIKLING
by Levi Celerio

TINIKLING is a folk song and a folk dance at the same time. The man entices the woman to dance with him the tinikling, a dance that has been passed on to generations.





Tayo irog ko magsayaw ng tinikling
Tulad ng sayaw ng lolo't lola natin
Ang mga padyak kung di pagbubutihin
Dalawang kawayan tayo'y iipitin.

At sa tinikling na labis na panganib
Ang hindi maingat ay maiipit
Nguni't mahal ko ganyan din sa pagibig
Ang hindi tapat ay maiipit.
