folk dances, we see a bigger picture and a deeper meaning. A traditional dance in the
Philippines connects us to a place’s culture. It is about history, traditions and majestic beauty
of the place it is associated with. The cultural dances in the Philippines evolved from different
regions which are distinct from one another as they are affected by religion and culture. Before
you learned different folk dances, we have Fundamental positions which includes five
positions both arms and feet.

hands about an inch apart.

the left arm remains in the position.
