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.
