That is always the case. The printed dance literature always depends on the author's informants performance. Our Kuratsa for example have as many versions as any body can think of. One characteristic yan ng folk dance. Wala tayong dance alphabet 'ika nga. Lahat pwedeng mag interpret as he feels it.
hi! i am from zambales and we used to dance the habanera botoleña during school presentations.. while it is true that there are many variations in our folkdances, especially the botoleña, a dance depicting the marriage of a man & a woman... i observed that there is only a LITTLE RESEMBLANCE from the original dance.
ok lng aman sana gumawa ng version as long as connected pa din sa original para ma preserve naten...

The Mariposa dance looks cuter with that little boy dancing. And.. he was also among the "ulitawo" in the Paseo de Ilo-ilo
