Itik-itik (Philippine Folk Dance)

Part 2 of Sinulog Festival 2008 series.

Itik-Itik is a mimetic dance that depicts the movements of wading and flying itik (ducks). Dancers mimic the short swaying gait of waddling feet and the intense energy of close-cropped flapping wings.

LOL Ron, have you never seen The Sword Dance of the Highland Fling? lols

[rontv]

national dance of Highland Scotland. Composed in the duple rhythm of the strathspey, a variety of reel, it is characterized by the Scotch snap (a succession of sixteenth notes alternating with dotted eighths). The "fling" emphasizes a kicking gesture.
