Folk dances are the indigenous dances of any specific “folk” or the common people. They are traditional
customary or recreational dance forms of a given country that have evolved naturally and were handed down
across generations.
Folk dances are related to everything of importance in our daily lives, such as customs, rituals, and
occupations of a specific group of people. Most of these dances are related in origin to religious belief,
stemming from emotions, superstitions, festivals, ceremonies of birth, courtship, marriage, death, war, and
countless themes common to all people around the world. According to Duggan, Schlottmann, and Rutledge
(1948), “folk dance became the overt expression of emotions and ideas which were peculiarly significant or the
re-enactment of customs and events constituting an important part of their history and patterns of daily living”.
Lopez (2006) defined Philippine folk dance as a “traditional model” of expression that employs bodily
movements of redundant patterns linked to definite features of rhythmic beats of music. She further stated that
Philippine folk dance, to be called such, should have the following characteristics:
1. It is traditional.
2. It has expressive behavior.
3. Simple, basic rhythm dominates the folk dance and establishes the pattern of movement.
4. It is created by an unknown choreographer or by communal efforts.
