Tinikling is originated in the Philippines,in a region of Visayan Islands.If you dance using a bamboo that is called a Bamboo dance but not tinikling dance.Tinikling words comes from a bird called tikling of whom people wants to catch a bird using bamboo sticks,and ask visayan guy on how to walk tinikling and why?

@MrRathbun It would be wonderful to see the day more evidence is discovered to help modern day anthropologists put together these missing pieces of the puzzle. As of now, there is no solid evdence of the true origin of the bamboo dance. My educated guess would be, wherever bamboo grows is a possible origin. It may have started simultaneously in different places.
I am Filipina. Do not assume that because a dance uses bamboo sticks, that automatically it originated in the Philippines. Think of the origins of the Filipino people with the Indonesian and Malay influence. They have their own dances that may look similar, but are not from our Philippine dances (more likely we got it from them!), so do not say that the singkil or the tinikling are the originals. Give the other countries credit for their ethnic heritage as well.

@MrRathbun Hello Sir. Although it is taught in schools that the Philippines was populated by Malays and Indonesians, modern anthropologists now believe it is the other way around. Current belief is that people of the northern Pacific islands (like Guam) migrated east to Formosa (now Taiwan) and then spread south to the Philippines, then further south to Indonesia and Malaysia, eventually reaching as far east as Sri Lanka and Madagascar in Africa.
