PAGGAWA Tinikling Dance

[1caramelpuppy]

i did this once in school for p.e. it was sooo fun exept my group kept messing up

[cyb11114]

Damn you trip up once might end up with a busted ankle very cool you guys!!

[jhon58782]

BRAVO!

[mish17a]

That's great. I think everyone should perform this dance at least once in their lifetime. It's a great workout. You think you can't do it at first but you feel a great sense of accomplishment after you get through the performance.

[NarniaCrazy01]

:D I'm filipino so I did this for the talent show with other Filipino people and it was fun :) then we won overall best :D

[cwfannumber1]

I did this in 4th or 5th grade, it was sooooo fun

[kittykat2210]

teaching my students this for international day at my school and they are having loads of fun

[Honeysingh555]

i is so hard i cant even do it

[Maranedy]

they're just ordinary pieces of wood. They're best made out of bamboo wood though...

^^

[peanutbutterswirl]

So I'm trying to learn this for our Barrio. I thought it would be easy, but oh my goodness. Seeing and hearing the bamboo sticks clap together and knowing that you might not be fast enough is scaaarryyy o_O. Maybe I'll get the hang of it during our second practice? haha

[richiardos]

haha same here but i got the hang of it

[asiahero89]

Nice move people. i used to slingshot a tikling bird where the tinikling dance was based. Shooting a tikling bird is no joke. They can do the moves like in the dance

[juliexxx14]

ive tried this dance before , OH MY GOSH! it was painful! LOL! my feet got hit by the stick couple of time and cant hardly touched it , it hurts so much! :-))

[HitlerOnToast]

Haha, one wrong move and they can end up with bruised ankles. Aint it fun?

Love the Filipino culture~~

[Msflower100]

Making fun of it? i did that in school and no one even messed up we did groups and everything so WHAT

[BloodLineAuthor]

that's because u had to do very easy skills... try having the poles crossed

[gakone0572]

1414rg, u dont look like a filipino coz u got kinky short hair LOL,,,,

[gakone0572]

hahahahah, we never know maybe " ITA" pala c 1414rg,,,,,where on earth were u from 1414rg????????

[oujouchi]

LOL. What the hell? we're not Hawaiins. -_-"

We Filipinos are Asian specifically in Southeast Asia. We are also "Pacific-Islanders" because obviously, the Philippine islands is near to the Pacific Ocean.

[bokee21]

baduy

[OmGBaNaNaSXD]

hayyyyy pepps my music teacher made us tininkle in music it was funn

[xiaolaoshu520]

i think maybe.. it can be traced to hainan, china since the culture is 5000 + very old.. i found this similar dance there. so our roots can be from hainan china. im from hawaii.. half chinese/pinoy. i dont want to be called 'hawaiian' since i dont have hawaiian blood. only called that were a melting pot of people there. common term. the other pacific islanders are fat, big for nothing, lazy and like to go out and drink lol..

[1414rg]

Be proud of who you are, I'm from an Island that's control by the Philippines and I see my self as a Pacific Islander not as a Filipino,and the older people see them self as Filipino, but their always talking shit about Filipino people, i.e. main land filipino people. We don't even look like filipinos. We look more Hawaiian and other pacific islanders. Also, I'll drink too if someone took my Island from my people, i.e the white man,chinese and the japanese. FACE IT,YOUR HAWAIIAN! BE PROUD!!

[filipino1nDaUS]

LOL 1414rg..ur such a confused individual...what island controlled by the Philippines do you live in....if you r under the rule of the Philippines...then your the same as the rest of us...Asian

if you don't like that then go move to hawaii or something

[asiahero89]

1414rg. what island is controlled by the philippines? name it and I will tell you who you are.

[xiaolaoshu520]

uhh excuse me, im not hawaiian native and i dont have hawaiian blood! only chinese and filipino in me. 100% azn

[df2toochewy4u]

hey, can i get the song title/artist asap or is there a way you can send it to me plz xD? thanks

[4EVABUTIFUL]

Hello, could u please tell me what the title is for this tinikling dance?

[mish17a]

Tinikling Dance, a traditional filipino dance originated in Leyte among the Visayan islands in central Philippines as an imitation of the tikling bird.

[hitsu98]

i love doing this dance :D

its so fun, especially when you put in all the different steps you find on youtube into one dance :)

so fuuun :)

[tarokirl]

FILIPINO AMERICANS DOING A NATIVE FILIPINO DANCE, INSTEAD OF A POLYNESIAN DANCE? NO WAY!!!! GREAT JOB! WE NEED TO SEE MORE OF THIS. FILIPINO AMERICANS MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK DUMB BY ONLY DOING HULA AND CLAIMING TO BE PACIFIC ISLANDERS! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORk!

[mish17a]

Thank you. That's so true. It was my first and last filipino tinikling dance. I'm so glad that I did it.

[akinJR]

Is it because Philippines is next the Pacific Ocean that many Filipinos erroneously call themselves "Pacific-Islanders" or do some Filipinos who reside in islands like Hawaii all together associate themselves with the indigenous people of the region?

[flipxy]

In my opinion the reason may be that many filipinos who first settle in hawai'i have adapted to that particular culture and have adapted it as their own, which is not wrong, but is one of our trademarks. Wherever filipinos go we tend to pick up on the culture of other people and adopt it as our own. As for Filipinos who don't know their roots; that is a different story.

on a side note, did you know that filipinos with Malays, Hawaiians, Maori, etc shared common ancestry that started in taiwan?

[xiaolaoshu520]

i think maybe.. it can be traced to hainan, china since the culture is 5000 + very old.. i found this similar dance there. so our roots can be from hainan china. im from hawaii.. half chinese/pinoy

[bernz70]

my teachers did this

[W0nd3rw0m4n]

I am 1/4 Filipno and born in America and feel bad for not knowing my filipino culture that well (along with other nationalities. I am now married to a filipino man and we have family from the same are of Baguio.. He is now sharing the filipino culture with me and I have picked up some words andp [hrases.. I just feel I will not be Filipino enough lol...

[20evolution12]

we did this at my school for international day and it was so fun

[hkdragonfly]

You can learn it! I have been teaching my second graders simple steps and they want harder ones now! BELIEVE!

[hkdragonfly]

Could you please tell me the name of this piece of music, the artist, and the name of the recording? I am a music teacher in Hong Kong and would like to use this in a presentation about music from the Philippines. THIS IS GREAT!

[zzZWushuEclipseZzz]

bery nice!ahh**

[BrianMelo4Life]

yay!!!!!! i was curious about my culture and curious bout da tiniklin dance TYVM!!!!!!!

[Mumzie49]

Thankyou George for sending me this video, I had not seen this dance before. Very enjoyable. Blessings......Diane. 5/5

[flufbus]

I'm not sure why someone sent me this video. Maybe it was a joke.

[OOHLALAAS]

Are you disappointed? Don't be. This is our

culture, and it is almost impossible for any

culture to be disappointing.

[larryaragon]

Disappointed? not at all. Filipinos in America are held in high respect due to thier work ethic, kindness, and gentleness. We are the # 1 minority in Americas health field. The other half is German. The American version is the same. I'am proud of my Fathers determination to be successful regardless of the racism he faced as a immigrate!

[OOHLALAAS]

I wasn't talking to you when I said are you disappointed lol. I was talking to the person

who says "I'm not sure why someone send me this. Maybe it was a joke."

I am Filipino too, btw...

[larryaragon]

I wish I had tried this when I was younger. I'am half Ilocano and remember this dance at all the fiestas here in the US. I plan on visiting My fathers home in 2009 maybe if I drink enough Basi I will try it!

[OOHLALAAS]

What is your other half?

[0fatz0]

OMG! I love watching people do tinikling. Me and my sister would use to take the ends of broomsticks, and do tinikling in the driveway!

I wanted to do it in the talent show, but I ended up forgetting about it =P

Man, I wish I could learn it...

I'm flip by the way, so I can't be called a white person trying to be flip... :P

[casiesilverman]

[S2HoNeYS2]

[Sassfire]

LMFAO, we had to learn that in elementary school. You know square dancing and this. I never knew where it came from. Guess the P.E. teacher was filipino.

[insanerhapsodist]

we had to learn this in elementary school too, but a bit more americanized version. i always knew it was a filipino dance but my classmates wouldn't believe me.

[OOHLALAAS]

What was the Americanized version like?

[insanerhapsodist]

unlike the filipino version where it goes by the 1,2,3, 1,2,3 count... the version we learned was 1,1,2,2,1,1,2,2 (hit the floor twice, hit the sticks twice) and obviously the music was different.

[OOHLALAAS]

Oh, okay. BTW What was the music?

[insanerhapsodist]

i was just american country music with a 1,1,2,2 beat. lol

[OOHLALAAS]

aah.

lol.
