The TINIKLING dance, is the traditional, national dance of the Philippines where dancers gracefully step over and between rhythmic bamboo poles, imitating the movements of a Tikling (rail) bird dodging bamboo traps set by farmers. Originating in Leyte during the Spanish colonial era, it requires skillful, quick footwork performed in traditional Filipino attire and is performed in festivals, and school events to promote culture.
