Skyline College Kababayan Dance Group
Filipino and Filipino American students are one of the two largest Asian American/Pacific Islander groups at Skyline College, comprising about 20% of the student body. To address the needs of this growing population, the Kababayan Program was created.
The Kababayan Program is a transfer and community support program with the goal of increasing proficiency in English skills for success in college, work, and life. It is open to all students and focuses on the Filipino and Filipino American student experience.
The Kababayan Dance Troupe grew out of the Filipino Folk Dance Class that was offered at Skyline College under the Kababayan Program earlier this year. Pandanggo sa Ilaw at Oasias Dance
Two dances featuring the use of oil lamps balanced on heads and swung in transparent scarves to signal fishermen to shore from a night's fishing.
