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.

I’ve been folk dancing since I was 10years old and love it. It all started when I was still living in the Philippines at the navy base, Subic Bay. Then I moved back to San Diego and joined the Samahan PhilippineDance Company and I danced with them for four years, also danced in Kababayan while I was attending Bell Junior High School. I still wanted to dance when I moved to Hawaii and I joined H. Wayne Mendoza’s Philippine dance group, Himigbayan. It is a one of the Philippine folkdance groups here on the island of Oahu. Hopefully after college I’ll still be dancing away…
