Physical folk dances
speak so much about the
heartbeat of our people.

customs
ideas
beliefs
superstitions
events of daily living

Just by looking at the
costumes, props, and
implements of a certain
group or tribe, you can tell
the origin of the dance.

The kind of music being used
readily also tells about the
influences brought about by
trade and settlement of our
neighboring countries.
