Regional and National Dances with Asian Influence
INTRODUCTION
Kumusta! Naimbag nga aldaw! Maayong buntag! Como esta usted? Assalam
Malaykum! Hello Grade 8 learners! How’s your day? I hope that you are as strong,
energetic, athletic and competitive as ever because for all you know, you will be
needing all your strengths for the activities found in this module.
When you were in Grade 7, you have learned to perform examples of local
and Indigenous dances. You also learned to value them in order to maintain good
health and eventually realized that folk dancing is indeed a good recreational activity.
Just like any other sports or games, dancing is also a physical activity that can
promote lifelong fitness and wellness. It is a good source of exercise that could help
develop grace and poise. It can even help in maintaining good health as it highlights
health-related fitness components such as cardio-vascular endurance, flexibility, and
strength.
With the effect of acculturation, indigenous dances of the Philippines may
have been modified since the culture of other countries has influenced our very own
dances. This is evident in the western style adopted in our folk dances. Along with
this are the influences of our Asian neighbors that have enriched our national dances
to a large extent. It is for this reason why there is a need for you to understand our
cultural rootby learning our dances.
This module will introduce you to the different regional and national folk
dances of the Philippines with influences from other Asian countries. We are part of
the on going history of trade and industry and that part and parcel are influences
retained in us like textiles, color of fabrics, and design reflected in the costumes of
the dance.
Furthermore, this module anchors its framework on the holistic approach of
using regional and national dances as potent sources for staying healthy and fit. At
the same time, they are prime educational tools for learners like you.
181
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, you should be able to


discuss the origin and location of folk dance through its costume and music
execute selected regional and national dances with Asian influences such
as the Binislakan, Sakuting, Sua-ko-Sua and Pangalay
 demonstrate the dance sequence appropriately
 identify the meaning of the gestures and hand movements of the dance selected.
 approximate interpretation of the dance literature
 promote folk dancing as a physical activity for the family.
Pre- Assessment:
To check how ready you are on in terms of familiarity to dances with Asian
influence, here are some basic ideas or concepts which will lead you to answer
queries relative to performing these regional and national dances.
Part I- Examine the following pictures and anwer the accompanying questions.
182
1. What general concept can be derived from the given pictures? Explain.
2. If you were to think of Asian countries that would closely relate to the given
pictures, what countries could that be? Justify your answer.
3. Are these dances influenced by other countries? Prove your point.
4. Just by simply looking at their costumes and props, can you give the place of
origin of these dances? What are your proofs to say so?
5. Can you give a storyline for each of these dances just by looking at their
poses, costumes, and props?
6. Is there a need for proper expression in folk dancing? Does it speak of
something?
7. Can you name examples of Philippine folk dances that have Asian influence?
Can you demonstrate examples of foreign folk steps? What are their step
patterns?
8. What are the implements that are commonly used in folk dances with Asian
influence? What are they for?
9. Can you explain the effects of acculturation in the country based on the kind
of dances we have?
After finishing the test, you are now
ready to face the Learning Goals and
Targets of this module. As a grade 8
learner, what are your expectations?
Write in your activity sheet your own
learning goals in relation to this
subject. One example of learning
goal is basis in making your own.

PART I: WHAT TO KNOW
LESSON I
Learning Goal: Describe and discuss the nature and characteristics of the dances.
Philippine folk dances speak so much about the heartbeat of our people for
they tell about our customs, ideas, beliefs, superstitions, and events of daily living in
a certain community.Just by looking at the costumes, props, and implements of a
certain group or tribe would tell you of the origin of the dance. The kind of music
being used readily also tell about the influences brought about by trade and
settlement of our
neighboring countries such as China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Burma, Cambodia,
Thailand and Japan to name a few. Truly evident is the effect of acculturation in the
country as manifested by the kinds of costumes, props, music, and dance steps that
are used and integrated in to some of our regional and national folk dances. The use
of gongs, kulintangs and the incorporation of pentatonic scale to our musical
compositions are just concrete proofs of acculturation in the country. These are the
reasons why Philippine folk dances contribute to the very rich culture of the country.
The following historical backgrounds and context of the dance literatures of
Binislakan, Sakuting, Sua-ku-Sua and Pangalay would give you a clear picture of the
nature and background of these regional and national folk dances. This will help you
184
understand its significance and cultural value, including the beauty and complexity of
the people’s lives living in those places.
Study these dances carefully and imbibe in you their importance to the
development of cultural value.

Background:
Lingayen in Pangasinan means having to look backward and upward. It was
derived from “Li-King-Tung”, a Chinese word given to the name Lingayen, the capital
of Pangasinan, by the Chinese settlers of this place a long time ago. The barrio folks
who lived at Almazin, a small place between barrio Pangasinan (Pulong) and
Maniboc danced this to commemorate the stay of Limahong, a Chinese pirate who
built his kingdom here.
The dancers look backward or upward in some of the movements; hence, the
name Lingayen. They also use two sticks to produce rhythms imitating the
chopsticks used by the Chinese in eating, so the dance is also called Binislakan,
which in Pangasinan means, with the use of sticks.

Background/Context:
The Tausug of Sulu, Southern Philippines, though known as fearsome
warriors are also better known as sturdy seafarers and hardy farmers. Extensive
orchards are planted with coconuts and pomelos and fields with staples like rice and
root crops.
At harvest time, pomelo fruits are gathered in big baskets before they are sent
away. The Tausugs depend strongly on the income the pomelo bring them and this
relationship is romanticized by comparing the sua’s gentle leaves, slender branches,
attractive fruits and fragrant flowers to the virtues of a lady. Put to music, it is this
song that is sang by couples while flapping two white fans each resembling leaves
rustling in the wind in the Sua-Ku-Sua Dance.
Sua-ku-sua performers, some men but especially women come to the
festivities with face thickly covered with finely ground rice powder and their eyebrows
and sideburns enhanced with soot- all for beauty’s sake.

Background/Context:
Pangalay (also known as Daling-Daling or Mengalai in Sabah is the
traditional “fingernail” dance of the Tausūg people of the Sulu Archipelago and
Sabah.[1] This dance is the most distinctively Asian of all the Southern Philippine
dances because dancers must have dexterity and flexibility of the shoulders, elbows,
and wrists[2] – movements that strongly resemble those of “kontaw silat,” a martial art
common in the Malay Archipelago. The Pangalay is performed mainly during
weddings or other festive events [1]. The male equivalent of the Pangalay is
189
the Pangasik and features more martial movements, while a pangalay that features
both a male and female dancer is called Pangiluk.
The original concept of the Pangalay is based on the preIslamic Buddhist concept
of
male
and
female
celestial
angels
(Sanskrit: Vidhyadhari, Bahasa Sūg: Biddadari) common as characters in other
Southeast Asian dances.

For centuries, Tiklos has been a very important factor in the social life of the
peasants of Leyte. Tiklos refers to a group of peasants who agree to work for each
other one day each week to clear the forest, prepare the soil for planting, or do any
odd job in the farm, including the building of a house. At noontime, the people gather
to eat their lunch together and to rest. During this period, Tiklos music is played with
a flute accompanied by a guitar and the guimbal or the tambora (kind of drum).
The music of Tiklos is also played to gather the peasants before they start to
work.

Background/Context:
This is a dance of the ethnic people living in the western side of the
Cordilleras way back before the coming of the Americans to our country. During the
Christmas, young boys and girls accompanied by their elders would go to the
lowlands, especially in Abra and Ilocos Norte to dance in front of the houses and ask
for gifts. These young children hold sticks, one on each hand and strike them
together to make their dance more lively. The homes would give them money,
homemade delicacies and other things.
These dancing groups later reached as far as the coastal towns of Ilocos
region as years went by. The rhythmic sounds produced by the stick attracted other
children and also adults and they also learned the dance.
“Sakuting“ is an ethnic term which refer to the rhythmic sticks producing the
accompaniment for the dance.

some important points, ask your
teacher to help you analyze the
lesson before doing the next
activity.
Activity 2:
DRESS ME UP!
This activity will activate your knowledge on the location and origin of folk
dances based on the costumes worn by the dancers. Study the procedures given
and do what is asked of you to perform. This could be an individual or group activity.
196

Prepare a miniature boy and girl dancers made of cartolina and post it on the
board. Create different regional costumes in the Philippines made of Manila paper.

Dress up the miniature dancers and name the province where they come from.

In tracing where the costumes are usually worn, consider the geographic location
or terrain where the costumes are suited and the respective props used by the
dancers and even their facial expressions.

Be ready to share your knowledge about the origin and background of the folk
dances considering their costumes, expression and implements used. Justify your
answers.
Did you enjoy the activity? Did you
observe cooperation and teamwork with
members of your group while doing the
task? If you did, congratulations for
having done a great job! So you are now
ready to go to the next level. You are now
faced with a bigger challenge this time
by doing some movements. Here, you will
have a chance to express your feelings by
doing some rhytmic patterns that will be
needed for the dances cited.
LESSON II
Rhythmic Patterns of Selected Regional and National Dances with Asian Influence
Activity 3. Listening While Playing
1. Close your eyes and listen to the recorded music of Sua-ku-Sua and
Pangalay. What is the time signature of the music? Is it done in duple, triple,
or quadruple meter? Why do you say so?
2. Feel the beat and rhythm of the music and do the following activities with your
eyes now open:
a. Clap your hands in time with the music.
b. Stamp your feet and do some rythmic improvisations using the same
music.
c. Use any materials that could be used as percussive instruments as in
beat-box and produce rhythmic sounds.
d. Use body gestures or accompany it with vocal sounds in time with the
music being played.
3. For variation, repeat items 1-2 using the recorded music of Tiklos, Binislakan
and Sakuting.
197
Well done! How did you feel
while performing the activity?
Do you think that feeling the
beat and rhythm of the music
plays an important role in any
dance performance in so far
as proper timing is
concerned? You will find the
answer after doing the next
activity.
Now you can do another
activity to enhance the skills
you’ve learned.
Part II- WHAT TO PROCESS
In this activity, you’ll learn the importance of rhythm in the performance of folk
dances.
Activity 4: Let’s Get Loud!
1. Your teacher will group your class into four.
2. Using any medium for sound production, you and your groupmates will
produce sound in time with the rhythm of the music commonly used in the
regional and national folk dances. Using the douple meter as your basis in
producing the sound, divide your group into two and create different rhythmic
combinations for 16 measures to be played simultaneously with your
groupmates.
You can use any of the following that could produce sounds:
a.
b.
c.
d.
198
clapping your hands
stampping your feetproducing vocal sounds
snapping your fingers
using any materials as percussive instruments
3. This time, create rhythmic combination using the triple meter for another 16
measures.
4. Always observe the principles of accent, intensity, dynamics, and tempo in
your routine.
5. After a ten-minute rehearsal, perform your output in class. Perform the
rhythmic combination in douple meter first, then the triple meter or vice versa.
Refer to the following rubrics to be used for evaluation.
6. After the group performance, discuss in class the importance of rhythm in the
performance of folk dance.

Did you enjoy the activity? You must be
sweating out now. Perspiring while doing the
activity is a good indication of good health
because your heart beats faster as it
pumps harder while dancing. You know
pretty well that dancing is a good exercise,
thus, you are keeping your heart healthy.
Since you have already started doing
some movements, it’s now time for you
to test your own dancing skills by doing
the next activity. Enjoy and have fun
while mastering the rudiments!
LESSON III
Basic Steps in Folk Dancing
In this lesson, you will be made familiar with the basic steps and arm
movements of the dances: “Binislakan, Sakuting, Sua-Ku-Sua, Pangalay and
Tiklos”. This will give you a clear understanding of the nature of these folk dances.
If you study the literatures of these dances found at the end of this module,
you will notice distinct steps and movements that are inherent in each dance.
The following dance terms and dance steps are basically used in Binislakan,
Sakuting, Sua-Ku-Sua, Pangalay and Tiklos. You are to master all these dance
steps which will be used later in your performance test. Study them carefully and
demonstrate the dance steps with the help of your teacher.

In your performance, what grade did
you receive? Are you satisfied with
it? If your grade is low, would you
want to improve your performance if
given
another
chance
by
your
teacher? If you got a high grade in
your performance, wouldn’t you want
to share your expertise to your fellow
classmates who are still novice? What
do you think?
The next activity will allow you and your
classmates to do peer-teaching. In here,
your teacher will divide your class into
two which will allow advanced learners
to enrich their mastery and the novice

system. Which group do you belong?
Activity 9: No Man Is An Island!
This activity aims to enrich your mastery skills in performing the dance
steps correctly while building cooperation and goodwill with your classmates.
1. Group yourselves into two. Group A for those who are familiar with the dance
and Group B for those who are still quite unfamilliar with the dance.
2. Those in group B should choose a partner in group A.
3. Your teacher will provide a list of step patterns with a minimal set of
combinations and directions for you to execute.
4. Help each other in interpreting correctly the step patterns provided.
5. Your teacher will supervise you as he/she guides you in doing the activity.
6. After the given time alloted by your teacher, a performance assessment will
be given.
7. Try to provide feedback on the performance of the other groups.
208
How did you feel while doing the
activity? If you belong to Group A,
what did you feel while teaching your
classmates? Does it make you proud
having done so? If you belong to
Group B, how did you feel while you
were being taught by your classmate?
Were you a bit embarrassed or
intimidated?
In life, we need one another. We need to cooperate and help those who are
in dire need. Along the way, we also need to seek guidance from people who are
knowledgeable on certain issues. Life should be based on a give - take - process.
That way, we can create harmonious working relationship in our community. This
principle is also applied in the teaching – learning - process of a dance
performance.
To measure how effective this
activity is, you will now demonstrate
more cooperation and harmony by
showing better performance through
the next activity. Let’s see if you
have improved.

PART IV : WHAT TO TRANSFER
Activity 10: Watch Me!
This activity will help you check your knowledge of the basic rhythm and step
patterns of folk dances. The leaders of the four groups shall draw lots and perform
what is written on the drawn sheet of paper.
1.
2.
3.
4.
Perform the dance steps correctly in figures 1 – 3 of Binislakan. (Group A)
Execute the dance steps correctly in figures 4-6 of Binislakan. (Group B)
Perform the whole dance properly with music accompaniment. (Group C)
Make a prelude of the dance Binislakan by presenting a typical scenario of
what is commonly seen in a barrio. Storyline should be related to the theme or
cultural background of the dance itself.
Note to the Learner: (Your teacher may select any of the five dances which will be
used in the performance.)
How was your dance performance?
Do you honestly believe that you
performed a lot better this time?
May Take note that performing does
not only mean dancing gracefully.
Proper expressions of the face and
body gestures are also important to
show the emotions needed in a
particular dance. The next activity
will teach you the significance of
gestures and hand movements in
finding the meaning of a certain
dance.
210
LESSON IV
In this lesson you will b able to identify the meaning of the gestures and
hand movements of the folk dance given.
Hand movements and gestures play a very important role in the whole
composition of a performance for they give life and meaning to the whole dance.
Just a simple movement of the hand or even a simple body gesture or facial
expression shown by the dancer would mean a lot in expressing the thoughts,
joy, or sorrow of the one performing.
You will discover the hidden meanings of certain gestures and hand
movements as you read and interpret the dance literature of folk dances later.
In this part, you will be
provided with motivating activities
that will establish your own
understanding of the topic and will
lead you to answer queries relative
to the performance of regional
and national folk dances with Asian
influence.
Part I : WHAT TO KNOW
Activity 11- GRAND TABLEAU
This activity aims to activate your creativity in conveying proper emotions and
gestures in different situations which will later be needed in the performance of Folk
Dances.
The following instructions will be facilitated by your teacher.
211
1. Your classmates and you will be grouped into five.
2. The leaders of the five groups will be asked to draw lots. Each piece of paper
describes one particular scene to be portrayed by the group. For one minute, you
and your groupmates will conceptualize a typical scenario given these situations:
a. Fishermen pulling up their fishnet from the sea
b. Farmers harvesting bountiful grains
c. Fiesta celebration of your town
d. Wedding ceremony
e. A man courting a lady
3. After conceptualization, another 10 seconds will be given for your group to act out
the scenes that you have planned, exhibiting the proper facial expressions and
hand or bodily gestures.
4. After the activity, your teacher will discuss on the importance of exhibiting proper
expression and gestures in performing activities like dance, music, theater and
other performing arts.
Part II : WHAT TO PROCESS
Did you have fun doing the
activity? I guess so. Now, you are
tasked to apply these learned skills
into the next activity. Applying
emotions and gestures to the step
patterns that you’ve learned will be
more exciting. Good luck! Have fun

Activity 12- IT’S SHOWTIME!
This activity aims to amplify your learned skills in expressing proper emotions
in specific situations which are needed in any performance.
212
1. With the same grouping, you and your groupmates will be asked to develop a
story using the theme you have drawn earlier and perform it through movements.
Expressing the right emotions needed in the given situations should be observed.
Two to three minutes will be allotted for each group performance.
2. Bear in mind that while one group is performing, the other groups will be instructed
to note their observations.
3. An evaluation on the performances of the five groups will be conducted by you
and your groupmates by answering this question, “Which group do you think
performed best?” Why do you say so?
Part III : WHAT TO REFLECT AND UNDERSTAND
Self- Check:
Put a checkmark on the appropriate line.
To what extent did you learn the dance in terms of:
1. cultural heritage?
___________to a great extent
___________to a moderate extent
___________to a lesser extent
2. cultural values?
____________to a great extent
____________to a moderate extent

Reflection
How is life connected to dancing? Can
you explain this?
In life, we always aim to be successful. One way to attain our goals is for us to stay
focused just like the focus that is needed while learning the steps in dancing. We need
to put our heart and mind into the things we do to in order to gain mastery. Through
dancing, we may be able to develop health fitness, such as having cardio-vascular
endurance, flexibility and strength which are key factors in achieving success.
Part IV- WHAT TO TRANSFER
Activity 13- CONTEMPLATION!
Answer the following questions.



214
What is the importance of proper expressions in folk dancing?
How are the movements shown in Binislakan, Tiklos, Sakuting, SuaKu-Sua and Pangalay reflect the kind of life people have on those
places?
Compare the expressions exhibited in the performance of folk dance of
Luzon with that of Visayas and Mindanao.
Congratulations! You’re smart to
be in this level. Check the next
activity. Try as much as you can to
study and analyze the stepprocedures
of
the
dance
literature. This part requires
patience and understanding for
you to interpret perfectly the
dance. Have patience Good luck!
LESSON 5
Interpret dance literature of Binislakan, Tiklos, Sua-ku- Sua, Pangalay and
Sakuting
It is very enriching to be able to interpret a dance literature. Since folk dances
are documented, it is always an edge to correctly interpret the text of a dance
literature. Herewith are the dance figures of the four dances. It is hoped that through
these dances, your ability to interpret dance literatures will lead for you to appreciate
other folk dances.
Note to the learner: One dance should only be taught by your teacher for the fourth
quarter. However if there is still time for you to lear one more dance or all of the five
dances, then that will be a lot better.

My little orange tree I had planted,
With its six lovely green leaves,
Reminds me of her,
Thus causing my heart to beat.
That loveliest beauty among the many,
That pretty one I cannot change,
Walking hurriedly along the street
Hand in hand with me-I
To that lovely beauty I lost my heart.

LESSON VI
LEARNING GOAL- Promote folk dancing as a physical activity for the whole
family.
An activity becomes more meaningful when done and participated in by the
whole family. The support given upon watching and applauding a family member
boosts ones confidence and self esteem. It is also a good form of bonding for the
whole family watching together dance festivals in any various places in the country
or even just in theatres. Somehow, you’ll be learning different culture through folk
dances while spending leisure hours together. Furthermore, these activities promote
lifelong fitness and wellness for they are potent sources of exercise that could
develop grace, poise, and even help in maintaining good health for you and your
family members.
239
Suggested Activities:
1. Together with your family, you may join in a field demonstration during your
campus’ Foundation Day or in a stage performance/street dancing during
your town fiesta.
2. You and your siblings can also join contests on Philippine folk dances.
3. Your family can go to theaters or museums to watch folk dance festivals and
presentations.
SUMMARY/SYNTHESIS/GENERALIZATION:
Now that you are done reading this learning material, I’m pretty sure that you
are ready to face the challenges folk dancing brings in terms of its origin, historical
background, dance steps and step patterns, dance interpretations and performance.
You discovered that just like any other sports or a game, dancing is also a physical
activity that can promote lifelong fitness and wellness. It is a good source of
exercise that could help develop grace and poise. It can even help in maintaining
good health as it highlights health-related skills such as cardio-vascular endurance,
flexibility and strength. Surely, this module has enriched your mind to explore the
wonders of folk dancing.
In lesson 1, you have learned the significance of the origins and locations of folk
dances by identifying the performers’ costumes and music. Here, you realized that
just by merely looking at the costumes and props and listening to the music would
tell you right away about the point of origin of a particular dance. You also learned
the effects of acculturation brought about by the trade and settlement from our
neighboring countries like China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Burma, Cambodia, Thailand
and Japan.
Lesson 2 has provided activities that led you to understand rhythmic patterns of
selected regional and national dances with Asian influence particularly Binislakan,
Sakuting, Sua-Ku-Sua, Pangalay and Tiklos. You discovered that rhythm plays an
important role in the performance of the dance. Feeling the beat and rhythm of the
music is a motivating factor for them to perform well.
Also Lesson 3 has provided you activities that inspired you to demonstrate and
master the basic steps of Binislakan, Tiklos, Sakuting, Sua-Ku-Sua and Pangalay. It
enabled you to enhance your dancing skill and motivated you to show and share the
steps you’ve learned. Thus, you realized that mastering the basic dance steps could
be used in the interpretation of the dance literature to a large extent.
Moreover, Lesson 4 has presented you ways and means to discover the
meaning of the gestures and hand movements in the performance of a particular
dance. It enabled you to use your creativity in conveying proper emotions and
gestures in different situations as found in the different settings needed in the given
dances.
Meanwhile, Lesson 5 has provided you with insights that made you master and
understand the dance literature of Binislakan, Sakuting, Sua-Ku-Sua, Pangalay and
240
Tiklos. Those insights enabled you to perform the dances appropriately and
gracefully. In this part, you found out that the correct interpretation of the dance
depends on the mastery and accuracy of your understanding of the elements of
dance such as dance steps, step patterns and counting.
Finally, Lesson 6 gave you a better perspective on the importance of folk dancing
in relation to your family and community as it gave you opportunities to perform the
given dances with your family members during town fiestas and school foundation
days. It also gave you time to bond with your family members by watching
culminating activities/cultural shows which gave you a chance to develop family
solidarity as well as family wellness.
We hope that through this module, you have become more acquainted with the
significance of folk dances, and somehow you could use the knowledge you learned
from this module not only during dance performances but also in maintaining a well
and fit body and a sustainable life.
