Agnes Locsin
• internationally known for her original work, and Igorot,
one of her ballets, won international acclaim in Europe
and Asia, and drew critical attention from dance
scholars.

• created a body of work that revels in our indigenous

rituals, beliefs, and lore, and contributes to our own
understanding of the complexity of our culture and
identity.
 The Tinikling
The Tinikling is considered by many to be the Philippines'
national dance. The dance's movements imitate the
movement of the tikling bird as it walks around through tall
grass and between tree branches. People perform the dance
using bamboo poles. The dance is composed of three basic
steps which include singles, doubles and hops. It looks
similar to playing jump rope, except that the dancers
perform the steps around and between the bamboo poles,
and the dance becomes faster until someone makes a
mistake and the next set of dancers takes a turn.
 The Sayaw sa Bangko

The Sayaw sa Bangko is performed on top of

a narrow bench. Dancers need good balance
as they go through a series of movements
that include some impressive acrobatics. This
dance traces its roots back to the areas of
Pangapisan, Lingayen and Pangasinan.
 The Binasuan

The Binasuan is an entertaining dance that is

usually performed at festive social occasions like
weddings and birthdays. Dancers carefully balance
three half-filled glasses of rice wine on their heads
and hands as they gracefully spin and roll on the
ground. The dance originated in Bayambang in the
Pangasinan province, and though it's usually
performed alone, it can also become a competition
between several dancers.
 The Pandanggo sa Ilaw

The Pandanggo sa Ilaw is similar to a Spanish

Fandango, but the Pandanggo is performed while
balancing three oil lamps - one on the head, and
one in each hand. It's a lively dance that
originated on Lubang Island. The music is in 3/4
time and is usually accompanied by castanets.
Improvisation,

in which a choreographer provides dancers with

a score that serves as guidelines for improvised
movement and form. Improvisational scores typically offer
wide latitude for personal interpretation by the dancer.
Planned choreography,
in which a choreographer dictates motion
and form in detail, leaving little or no
opportunity for the dancer to exercise
personal interpretation.[
