Philippines Dance | Filipino Culture Rotating Header Image

Dance has always been an integral part of the Philippines culture. Traditional dances including Maria Clara, Rural, Tribal, Mountain and Moros are now performed all around the world by Filipino migrants wanting to preserve and pass on their cultural identity. Filipinos also excel and participate in Modern dance, ball room dancing and traditional ballet at a world class level. Wherever you find Filipinos you will find them dancing and singing.


FOLKLORICO

In line with the objectives of Canadian Multiculturalism, Folklorico Filipino (Canada) aims for the development and promotion of the Filipino identity through performing arts by:

Depicting Philippine culture through music, song, dance, and drama

Training interested Filipinos of all ages in Philippine folk music, dance, and drama

Showing the public Philippine customs, traditions, and history through folk song, dance and drama

Encouraging Filipinos and other Canadians to discover and develop their talents and abilities and to develop their potential in the performing arts.

As a cultural group, Folklorico proudly operates as a non-profit organization working from voluntary donations and contributions through sponsorship and performance fees. Dancers, choreographers and administrators work without financial remuneration. Volunteering is rewarded by the fulfilment achieved through the sharing of filipino culture and heritage. Folklorico has been involved with the social and cultural affairs of many organizations, schools, colleges, and governments. Since its founding in 1974, the commitment to promote the Filipino identity within the Canadian mosaic remains unchanged.
