[MeriScrapper13]

This performance is amazing and outstanding. I've never seen anything like it before.  I'm watching with lots of emotion because I saw the tinikling when I visited my dad in the Philippines. I even tried it. If anyone thinks this dance

is easy, try it. I had the sore ankles to prove it.

[808krazykid]

[enpyogi]

what is the folk song called? the filipino club at my school is trying to find the name.

[alatariel001]

@enpyogi "tinikling"..the dance title is the song

[bediverestonewortr]

The dance has that indigenous and Hispanic roots and considered to be one of the oldest in the country.

[wimliedje]

the best tinikling ive seen so far. i hope you can perform that in the philippines!

[CarmichaelPete]

12AGGIEFAN your Anti Asian,Anti Irish,Anti Roman Catholic,Anti Latino comments are a disgrace to this school and country,i see your a 19 years old Scottish female if anyone knows your identity you should be reported to immigration the ACLU and the school,hopefully your student visa will be withdrawn and you will be deported back to Britain,you are nothing but a hatemonger i would ike you to see the human remains of the slaughter you advocate,your not just sick,your a danger to students too.

[bfncaravan]

BRAVOOO

[bkbkcat]

This is the best team I ever seen. I wish to learn too. anyone can tell me where can i learn tinikling in Hong Kong.

[mayadanteamihan]

Galeng!

[julycastro64]

QUE BARBAROS!!!!!... he visto mil versiones del Tinikling...pero ninguna tan expectacular como esta.....FELICIDADES!  ESO ES ARTE!

[twentius777]

@julycastro64

usted es un barbaro demasiado

[RobynRALS15]

fantasticccccckkkkk

[alvinregucera]

Creative! No frills and acrobatics...just plain precision and synchronization. It's Riverdance Filipino style. Thanks for posting.

[minholove]

yes i agree w/ jbentio. formally speaking, screaming should be done when the performance has already ended. but yea, it's actually normal to filipino culture.. btw don't bash me lol it's my opinion :P

[ginggingramos]

This is taking our beloved Tinikling to a higher level. I'm so proud and so awestruck. A little fine-tuning and this would be a perfect showcase of Filipino vibrancy, creativity and just simple down-to-earth beauty. Congratulations!!

[jbentio]

Why are people screaming in a middle of performance? Don't they find it rude. Scream after the dance. This is not a concert.

[lclc]

that is quite common. the screaming (or calls) are usually done by the performers - either the bamboo holders or some performers watching on the side (although there are none in this video). in this instance, i suspect dancers on the side of the stage are initiating it. it is part of celebrating and appreciating the dance.

[dphayce]

As this is yearly production, the crowd already knows to cheer on the dancers, so there's no need for initiation. The audience participation throughout both the dances and the acting is fairly common during PCN. You're right, there are other performers in the wings of the stage who are also cheering.

[dphayce]

During PCN, all the dances are cheered on during performance. It actually is a lot like a concert. In fact, cheering is encouraged even from the sides, as it does motivate the dancers. The dancers feed off the energy of the crowd.

[Diva89R]

mabuhay ang filipinas

[benjiesoriano50]

wow super, ngaun ko lang napanood ang ganitong klaseng tinikling.mahirap at dapat talagang ensayado ang mga dancers otherwise ipit ang mga paa.

[4comandancia]

[JMJSAzns]

wow, a work of art come to life! :D

[soulahhh]

[bilyak0sta]

not a single moderness into it.

5 stars for that!

unlike other tinikling dancers who messes up the traditional way and mixing it up with modern music and dance. what a shame.

[pw44salem]

[wh0saidwhaa]

Ang galing!! Saludo ako....

[krisisna]

simply amazing! superb! Filipinos are great! Keep it up!

[sunflower71852]

.Next, to the performers, GREAT JOB! for amateurs like you, there was minimal flaws and you all did it smoothly and keep your coordination. See what hard work, your time(well spent), patience, perseverance and of course the natural grace that every pinoy is innately endowed with(he!he!--mapa sayaw o kanta-magaling ang pinoy!)---these are ingredients to a masterpiece...timeless...GO!pi­noys, you rock!--so far the best of all the tinikling posted on you tube...i watch all of it..

[sunflower71852]

EXCELLENT! SUPERB! firstly, i congratulate the choreographers who certainly did a very good job here, coordinating and making the tinikling more interesting.I hope you DONOT follow suit with adding the hip-hop, it just doesn't blend. This is traditional yet has a modern twist which is going to be timeless.hip-hop will die, so, i strongly suggest you DONOT add it.

[Hotwires45]

Subarashiiii!!!!!galing talaga!

[gnhoj69]

After watching the performances of other universities Pilipino Cultural Night (PCN) Tinikling Performances (UCLA, Stanford, CSULB, etc.) as well as professional dance group like the Bayanihan dance group, have to admit that this is the best. Maybe because the camera has a better angle, but nonetheless the creativity, originality, and execution is SUPERB! Tinikling remained about the same as far as I can remember for many many years, but these students revolutionized it. Outstanding job!!

[kellycvivar]

Bravo! To all those who participated in this dance including the choreographer/s...you just proved that there is no limit to creativity! You are awesome! This is the best Pinoy You Tube feature ever!

[egjundis]

I guess all that bike ridding does help the cardio of Aggie students. :) I'm over here in the Philippines and people keep sending this to me - congrats!

[pn0ys0fresh]

=O

all i have to say is wow xP

that must have taken soo long to perpare and practice fer

tinikling is funn xP aha

i liked when you switched the stick thingy aha it was awsome

[CARMELax3]

i thought it'd be boring at first coz the music sounded a little slow, but damn.

it was amazing.

so well done.

[presbi15]

you're amazing. this is the best tinikling I've ever seen. congratulations.

[carolianas]

Just awesome!

Wish you can perform at our fundraising party for a surgical mission! You would rock the party and shake attendees pockets for donations!!!

[nesslad]

Ang galing talaga ng mga PINOY! I wish i could dance. Do you think a woman in her mid 50s can still dance or learn how to?

t

[LoveOlderWomen]

@nesslad i could teach you *wink* *wink*

[chuvachuva2]

this is one way of making the tinikling popular among our youth...make it even more dynamic, more challenging, and more fun! kudos to all who were part of the presentation.

[bonerknobs]

ang GALING !!! Now, if we can only have about 2,000 dancers, dancing in synchronized unison, the Philippines can have an opening number for the Olympics!!! BEAT that CHINA!!! (he he)

[georgee70]

marvelous

[zenykt]

wow...fantastic, how i wish i could dance "TINIKLING" at my age hehehe>>>>>

[L00king4Lov3]

my mum watched it, and told me about when she used to to do that!

[gudgal25]

Wow this is the first time I saw tinikling with dancing bamboo poles too

[Leling5]

Lahat sumayaw! Magaling ang mga bata, mahusay and Choreographer, Ok rin ang Rondalla! Walang naipit, continuous ang sayaw at musika! Galing talaga.

Thanks for posting this, Leejaybeats!

[kingergo]

The dancing is excellent but the rondalla was out of tune at certain spots and out of timing on the speed transition. Luv it still.

[homer1961]

Wow!!! Thanks for posting this. It was so fun to watch and made me homesick for what little flilipino culture I have enjoyed as a filipina-american.

[1inchik]

wow this is awesome!. way cool!!! sali ako!

[kulog2kidlat]

ang galing!

[tedvoight]

that was very beautiful and unique tinikling dance i have ever seen. i am holding my breathe watching them dance scared they gonna miss some steps and hit the pole but they did it very very good! good job for the kids.!!!!

[AshtonPelham]

this could have been one nasty mess but they were FANTASIC!!! what a fresh take on the traditional dance. and with this performance posted in this site for the whole world to see, it will be studied and copied. do not be surprised when you see similar versions of the tinikling when you next attend a filipino cultural show. the choreographer should get royalties. hmmmm...

[uoytnawi]

imagine how the dance can evolve,,, i did join an entertainment group in Hokkaido in my 30's some 20 years ago & i did a more "laidBack version",,, in that same area though another group performed bravoWell like this video,,,

[krisgmina]

proud of our overseas Filipinos! superb creativity! if the Irish have Riverdance as the extreme version of their folk dance, then i vote this to be our extreme tinikling!

[Batulao83]

Wow ang galing galing. First I saw it done like that. Super these kids are really good. Go Filipinos. To think they are the kids living here in the great US of A. Keep up the culture through the succeeding generations.

Fantastic Job! Not a very clean routine, a few missteps here and there but very entertaining! It's got to be one of the hardest dances in the world- combining both skill and grace...and courage.

[Champaca41]
