What are the differences between folk, national and ethnic dances?
Folk dances are traditional dances found in a certain country while national dances

danced throughout a given country, often with a number of regional variations.
The Philippine dances Cariñosa, Curacha, and Pandango are examples of
Philippine folkdances as they are popular dance in the country. Pandango for example,
has different variations coming from both Luzon and Visayas island; examples of
pandango dances are:
❖ Pandango Ilocano

have retained their close kinship with religious ritual and community custom.
In the Philippines, dances originating from Ifugao people of the northern Luzon,
T’boli tribe from southern Mindanao, and Tagbanua tribe from Palawan are examples of
ethnic dances.
Examples of different types of ethnic dances:
1. Ritual dances – dances that depict ritual ceremonies. Examples are Dugso
(Bukidnon) and Pagdiwata (Palawan).
2. Life-cycle-dances- dances relating to the cycle of human life such as birthing,
courtship, wedding and funeral. Examples are Binasuan (Pangasinan) and Daling-
daling (Muslim courtship dance from Sulu)
3. Occupational dances- dances that exibet work and occupation of the dancers.
Examples are Magasik (Cotabato) and Mananagat (Cebu) dances.
All national and ethnic dances are folk dances, but not all folk dances are
considered national or ethnic dances.
What are the different types of Philippine folk dances?

There are several ways to classify Philippine Folk Dances. According to

Francisca Reyes Aquino, folk dances may be classified by geographical extent of
origin, nature, speed of movement, formation and distinguishing feature. Lately
folkloric specialists merge regional and functional classifications, to sort out the
different dance materials (Lopez, 2006).
The three major regional classification of Philippine folk dances

1. Tribal dances from Cordilleras-include non-Christian dances from

Cordillera.
2. Lowland Christian Dances- dances coming from places with Western
influeces such as that of the Tagalogs, Ilokanos, Pampangueños,
Pangasinense, Bisayans and Bicolanos. These dances are influence by
Hispanic and European cultures.
3. Muslim Dances- dances from the people of southern islands of the
Philippines such as in Mindanao and Sulu. This dance is influenced by
Arabic and Indo-Malayan cultures.

Classifications According to Cultural Origin

Cordillera Dances – These are dances of the Kalingas, Ifugaos and other ethnolinguistic
groups of the Cordillera mountains. They are known for their distinct costumes such as G-
strings and tapis and grounded movements which is a reflection of their daily routine.

Spanish-Influenced Dances - These dances are a reflection of Spanish culture merged with
that of ours. From the costumes alone, you can really tell whether it’s a Spanish- influenced
Folk Dance or not. Males swear the Barong Tagalog and females wear the Maria Clara of
different elaborate design
Rural Dances - These are dances which reflect the true spirit and character of the
Filipino people. They wear peasant—occupational costumes but reflect in their
movement activities of fishing, farming, courtship and merrymaking. Some others
mimic movements of animals like birds, fish and others.
Muslim Dances - The are dances of the exotic southern part of the country. They
mirror the character and colorful culture of Muslims as seen in their discrete
expression and brightly colored silk costumes.
Tribal and Indigenous Dances - These dances are of tribal origin. They reflect the
culture and ways of a specific tribal group in any point of the country. They may be
from Luzon, Visayas or Mindanao.
Another category of Philippine folk dances regardless of their classification

Festival dances – dances that are either religious or secular and are connected with
the celebration of recurring events of special significance.
Game dances – derivation from local folk games. One example of this is Pukol dance
from aklan and Capiz in the Panay region. Pukol means “to strike or bump each
other” (Aquino 1979).

Joke and trickster dances – includes trick or jokes played by a dancer on another
or group of dancers who are one of them. The intension is to render physical or
mental indignity or discomfort (Lopes 2006). Example of these is Pandanggo
Sambalilo dance from the Tagalog regions where in the girl teases her male partner
by playing with his hat then pushes him when he is about to succeeding getting back
and putting on his hat from the floor.
Mimetic or Drama dances – dances that mimec animals, inanimate objects or
other people. Example is the Itik-Itik dance from Surigao, as it imitates the
movement of a duck.
War dances – dances that express feud and enmity where in two male dancers
engage in physical combat with Spartan-like intensity. Example is Maglalatik of
Biñan Laguna.
Social amenities dances – dances that express social graces, hospitality and
offerings
of gifts to friends. All social ballroom dances and most of “Filipinized” Western dances that
show camaraderie merriment belongs to this group (Lopez, 2006). Examples are Minuete
Yano (Iriga Cam Sur), Alay (Tagalog Regions), and Habanera Botoleña (Botolan, Zambales)
