Probably the best version of tinikling I've seen. Other groups when they do tinikling it seems more like calisthenics than a dance but this group does it best, from their complex routines, the expressions on their faces (smiles all around instead of worried looks or blank looks like in other groups I've seen), their nimble moves, etc.. Overall, this is what tinikling is all about, a fun dance to be enjoyed by dancers and the audience alike.

[@catead]

James Sal couldn't agree more. Makes me proud to be a Filipino!

[@amypagekaviani5661]

When I was 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade we did this as part of our gym class. I thought it very exotic and fun! But I am sure it looked more like calisthenics than a dance! Since we were natives of Virginia, USA I am sure when we learned square dancing we looked a little better!!!!

[@BairMendoza]

Yup. They taught them how to perform it instead of just survive it! 🥰

[@FRN2013]

Yes, James, and it's quite romantic, as it should be. The women are feminine, and the men portray a romantic interested in them. It's sweet! So much better than mere athleticism.

[@marilynr.1036]

The evolution of tinkling with this production is off the charts!!! Extremely complex routine with different sets of poles, several dancers involved, blindfolded, etc, etc. When I used to perform tinkling several decades ago (won't state how long & reveal my age), it was only one or two sets of poles. Also, at that time, the different versions I've seen wasn't even close to this production. This version is extremely over the top and clean!!!

[@imonlyhereforthelaughs]

I remember I leaned how to do this dance in middle school. There was a Filipino club and one day I saw them practicing and I thought it was super cool. They ended up letting me join and I actually did a few performances with them. The fact that they welcomed me with no hesitation was really special to me. I’ll always have respect for not only this dance but the culture.

[@angelamartzen7499]

Filipinos just like to have fun all the time lol Always wanting to have people join and share in the culture. Growing up, my family was part of our local Phil-Am club and almost every weekend somebody had a potluck party at their house and everybody was invited, not just club members but anybody else that wanted to come. Lots of food and karaoke singing. Parties all the time lol.

[@TheOriginalRick]

In one of my stranger memories of growing up I distinctly recall learning tinikling as a 4th grader back in 1961 at Longfellow Grade School in East St Louis, Illinois. This was a little school tucked away in a Midwestern city, yet somehow this Filipino folk-dance was transplanted from 8,000 miles away and we were taught it. The music was the same as in this video and the rhythm was too. I remember lots of sore ankles.

[@maayongaga729]

Wow I wish my kid learn it.. theyre FilAm.

[@lisaruggieri2359]

Yup, my elementary school taught this in physical education class. Same tune, same sets of motions, except we didn’t put our bamboo on end. We did it often enough that I still remember many of the different moves and of course the snap-snap-crack pattern.

[@johnbillard3817]

I just posted a comment where i said the same thing. Its so wierd. I wonder if there is some reason phys ed teachers know of this and use it?

[@kdavidm9715]

thanks for sharing. it is impressive that the dance was "modernized" not by the usual adding of non-pinoy movements [hip-hop,etc], but by upgrading the original steps to a higher level of difficulty, with exciting choreography. i enjoyed dancing tinikling in high school, and i would thoroughly enjoy doing this updated version.

[@TheSeth2003]

making the tinikling with a "twist" (removing one step or replacing sumthin) is strictly prohibited, some contestants did that and they were stopped immediately

[@hackieagoncillo1577]

I agree. This one's all about the basics but with great variations. Very creative indeed.

Tinikling. A bird indigenous to the Philippines. This dance known as The Tinikling or Bird Dance or Courtship Dance is the National Dance of the Philippines. However, with varied interpretations of the dance, it only goes in one and only single tune. The tune you hear here, titled Tinikling.

You can still learn! If you live near a large university with several international students, you will usually find students from the Philippines; they will get together for holiday events and they often have programs to teach the community more about their heritage. There are also many immigrants from the Philippines (and Filipino Americans) in the USA, particularly in California, Texas, Hawaii, and Washington. Because the Philippines has a large agriculture industry, many of its citizens come to the US to study at State Universities which have large Agriculture Education programs. Many come to the USA and end up staying here, while others return to their home or adjacent countries to share their knowledge and skills. Reach out to universities and communities and get acquainted with people who share your hetitage--they will be pleased to enclose you and teach you!

Oh! My!! Gosh!!! I loved this! In grade school @ 1970 I remember being taught the very most basic moves of this form of dance during a cultural dance section of our PE class. I have never forgotten how hard - but fun! - it was. I still have a treasured scar on my right ankle bone from tripping over one of the bamboo poles as I tried to step sideways. 😅 Of course, we never got further than learning the basic rhythm of the poles and dance steps. I had no idea that it could get as complex as this with a large group of dancers moving together, moving from one set of poles to and through others, changing partners, switching seamlessly from dancing to pole holding, and dancing blindfolded. BLINDFOLDED!😀😃 I got goosebumps watching the very end when it got so fast - and not a toe or ankle twisted or bloodied!😅 Thank you so much for sharing this!

Last night i had a filipino dance,but i didnt do the tinikling but the person who said everything said that whoever is risky can try,and we even did it in quads,like one on top of the other!

[@jrmaglangit6587]

Try "Sayaw sa banko "

[@charlottewhitelock2926]

Wonderful performance. One of my granddaughters was fortunate to have a grade school gym teacher who taught them Tinikling as an after school activity. Went to a couple of her performances and then sadly the teacher was transferred. This activity obviously takes good timing and stamina.

[@beverlyphillips8572]

That was fantastic! I held my breath through the whole thing. The timing, the skill, the coordination involved, it just boggles the mind. Well done ladies and gentlemen!

The basic steps and forms are there, but I admire the creativity and changes made to make the group dance interesting and complicated! Congratulations!

[@ericditan5539]

I was a Filipino folk dancer all throughout my student life and I danced Tinikling for the nth times already from elementary up to my college days . This specific dance routine has a several modifications which made it more challenging , festive and very entertaining. I can say that it might not had a super smooth or clean execution and some forms or steps were not perfectly done as they should be, it still deserves 5 thumbs up for me because as a dancer myself, dancing Tinikling is already a challenge by itself as it requires so much energy, focus, coordination and endurance more so for this kind of modified version. Kudos to the performers!!

[@Sarah-gv1oz]

I love this dance so much. It always made me like feel it was some insane video game bonus challenge level. Shows how awesome Philipinos are that they risk getting their ankles chopped off for fun. 💯 ALSO, I love that they taught them how to perform it instead of just survive it! 🥰 The blindfolded part where the tempo goes up is truly wild though. What an awesome clip. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏼

[@angelamartzen7499]

When I was a kid my family was part of our local Philippine-American club and we did folk dances every year. I always wanted to learn tinikling but only the older teens were allowed to do it. By the time I was an older teen, we weren't part of the club anymore (life happens and people move on) so I was kind of disappointed about not ever performing this dance but it's okay, I still performed the other dances that the younger kids could do.

[@imadumdum2043]

[@UkeGirl100]

I’m from Kailua. This is performed in Hawaii. Now I live in California, and I, too, feel detached from my culture. It is wonderful to see it again!

[@lesliebooth2833]

This was awesome! We did this in my elementary school back in the late 60’s, early 70’s in PE out in west Texas! Obviously not to the skill level of these young folks but we did this for indoor PE activity when the weather was bad and it was a blast! After that was those ankle skippy ball things which was similar but different. Each person got their own and you had to be aware of the needed area of your ball related to your neighbor’s but again, lots of skipping around each other and lots of fun!

[@stralbem]

I love this dance. It actually just looks scary at first but once you get the hang of it, it becomes natural to dance and jump along the bamboos :D. But in my opinion, Singkil is a lot harder ahaha

[@jfmshortfilm154]

stralbem hahahahahhahaha true!!!

[@andoylanggid]

Same dance. Different culture. Tinikling is Filipino Christian Folk Dance. Singkil is ritualized courtship dance of the royal Muslim sultanates in the southern Philippines. The lead dancers are technically the Princess and the Prince-Warrior vying for her hand.

[@stralbem]

@@andoylanggid I think the steps and rhythm is a lot faster in Singkil and that makes is harder for me to dance it
