What is Folk Dance?

Folk dance is a way for people to express, share,


and connect with their own traditional culture.
Various styles of folk dance have been
performed all over the world for centuries, and
are still performed by many cultures today.
PHILIPPINE FOLK DANCE
Philippine folk dances incorporate influences from immigrants and
conquerors and at the same time maintaining distinctly Filipino roots.
Philippine folk dancing is a true reflection of daily life in the past
centuries while enchanting modern audiences at the same time.

There is no exact date as to when dancing became part of our lives in


the Philippines. The dances were performed during festivals and
remembrances of past military victories, and are still performed
during celebrations of birth and weddings in modern times. Many
modern folk dance festivals still feature ancient dances performed in
colorful costumes used during the tribal period of the Philippines.

with sticks known as bislak. Binislakan folk

History
A municipality named Lingayen Pangasinan is derived from
the Chinese word "LI-KING-TONG" (looking forward and
backward)

The term "binislakan" is derived from the Pangasinan word


"bislak," which means to strike or hit. As such, binislakan
literally translates to "striking" or "hiing with a stick."

Binislakan is not as widely known as some other Filipino


martial arts, such as Eskrima or Arnis, but it holds
significance within the Pangasinan community and among
martial arts enthusiasts who appreciate its unique
techniques and cultural background.
Costumes

The biniskalan costume is a traditional aire from


the Philippines, often worn during festivals and
celebrations. It typically consists of a long blouse
or shirt with intricate designs and large sleeves,
paired with a flowing skirt or dress. Additionally, it
is adorned with oversized fans and elaborate
jewelry, showcasing the richness and beauty of
Filipino culture.
