ORIGIN

Pandanggo sa Ilaw is a very popular folk dance in the Philippines. It is said to have originated from
Mindoro, the seventh-largest island in the Philippines. This dance of lights simulates fireflies at dusk and
at night.

The word pandanggo is from the Spanish fandango, a dance in 3/4 time. The phrase sa ilaw is Tagalog
for “in light” and it refers to the three oil lamps that a dancer has to balance — one on the head and one
on the back each hand. The oil lamp is called tinghoy. Sometimes, candles in glasses are used instead of
an oil lamp.

Sayaw sa Bangko is a famous Pilipino folk dance in which the dancers must use good skill and balance as
they dance on top of a narrow bench. This dance dates back to before the Spanish colonization of the
Philippines, which means it is a purely Pilipino Ancestral dance. Dancers showcase their skills as they
dance atop a narrow bench, while constantly trading places. As opposed to competing with each other
to stay on the bench, dancers must complement each other to ensure that they do not fall. This dance is
usually performed in town fiestas.

MAGLALATIK -It originated in the town of Binan in the Laguna province of the Filipino Islands and is also
performed as homage to the town saint, San Isidro de Labrador. ... Maglalatik is an original native dance
of the Philippines in which the coconut halves are attached to the torso of the dancer.

CARINOSA-The dance originated in Panay Island in the Visayan Islands and was introduced by the
Spaniards during their colonization of the Philippines. It is related to some of the Spanish dances like the
bolero and the Mexican dance Jarabe Tapatio or the Mexican Hat Dance.

Itik-itik is a mimetic folk dance in The Philippines. It originated in the province of Surigao in Mindanao. In
Itik-itik (from the Tagalog word for " duck"), the dance steps imitate the movements of ducks among rice
paddies and swamplands, such as wading, flying, and short, choppy steps.

The waltz (from German Walzer [ˈvalt͡sɐ̯]) is a ballroom and folk dance, normally in About this
soundtriple (help·info) time, performed primarily in closed position.

Rhumba, also known as ballroom rumba, is a genre of ballroom music and dance that appeared in the
East Coast of the United States during the 1930s. It combined American big band music with Afro-Cuban
rhythms, primarily the son cubano, but also conga and rumba. Although taking its name from the latter,
ballroom rumba differs completely from Cuban rumba in both its music and its dance. Hence, authors
prefer the Americanized spelling of the word (rhumba) to distinguish between them.[

The CHA CHA(sometimes called cha-cha), is a dance of Cuban origin. It is danced to the music of the
same name introduced by Cuban composer and violinist Enrique Jorrin in the early 1950s. This rhythm
was developed from the danzón-mambo. The name of the dance is an onomatopoeia derived from the
shuffling sound of the dancers' feet when they dance two consecutive quick steps (correctly, on the
fourth count of each measure) that characterize the dance.

Swing dance is a group of dances that developed with the swing style of jazz music in the 1920s–1940s,
with the origins of each dance predating the popular "swing era". During the swing era, there were
hundreds of styles of swing dancing, but those that have survived beyond that era include: Lindy Hop,
Balboa, Collegiate Shag, and Charleston. Today, the most well-known of these dances is the Lindy Hop,
which originated in Harlem in the early 1930s. While the majority of swing dances began in African
American communities as vernacular African American dances, some influenced swing-era dances, like
Balboa, developed outside of these communities.

TANGO is a partner dance, and social dance that originated in the 1880s along the Río de la Plata, the
natural border between Argentina and Uruguay. It was born in the impoverished port areas of these
countries, where natives mixed with slave and European immigrant populations.[2] The tango is the
result of a combination of the German Waltz, Czech Polka, Polish Mazurka, and Bohemian Schottische
with the Spanish-Cuban Habanera, African Candombe, and Argentinian Milonga.[3] The tango was
frequently practiced in the brothels and bars of ports, where business owners employed bands to
entertain their patrons with music.[4] The tango then spread to the rest of the world.[5] Many variations
of this dance currently exist around the world.
