INTRODUCTION

The history of Philippine folk dancing incorporates influences from immigrants and conquerors while at the same time maintaining distinctly Filipino roots. Philippine folk dancing is a true reflection of daily life in past centuries while enchanting modern audiences at the same time.

There is no recorded "start" to Philippine folk dance — as long as there have been people on the islands, they have been dancing. In fact, their mythology is filled with many different gods and goddesses that needed to be placated, implored, or thanked for various natural events like rain and harvests. Many of these festivals still feature ancient folk dances performed in the costume of the tribal period.

It is impossible to know when exactly dancing became a part of life in the Philippines. Many traditional dances were designed to thank the gods for natural and agricultural events, such as rain and harvests. The dances were performed during festivals and remembrances of past military victories, and they still are performed at celebrations of births and weddings in modern times. Many modern folk dance festivals still feature ancient dances performed in the costume of the tribal period of the Philippines.

Philippine folk dance mirrors the culture and tradition of the Filipinos. It has also been a source of cultural identity for the people. In this diversified country, there are also great diversities of dances in different forms and dynamics that grow out of various times, situations, and experiences.
