Tinikling - Philippine Dance

Tinikling - This is one of the most popular and best known of the Philippine dances. The dance imitates the movement of the tikling birds as they walk between grass stems, run over tree branches, or dodge bamboo traps set by rice farmers. Dancers imitate the tikling bird's legendary grace and speed by skillfully maneuvering between large bamboo poles. Tinikling means "bamboo dance" in English (cited from http://www.likha.org/galleries/tinikling.asp , and amended after comments indicated that it is not the official "National" dance). Performed by housestaff during Philippine Cultural Awareness Event at Morristown Memorial Hospital, in Morristown, New Jersey, on 24 December 2007.

The two men who was controlling the bamboo was like:

Man 1: When I say go let's go and run 'cause I'm tired."

Man 2: Yea! Let's go!

Man 1: 1-2-thr.....

Girl who's dancing: hurry up the music is getting faster!"

little boy who's watching: What are they doing? Are they tired or not in the mood....?
