Caucasus/Russian Dance and Filipino Dance

www.youtube.co...

[@eigen1255]

The Philippine dance tells the story of a princess and a prince trying to find their way to each other in the midst of a sudden earthquake. It shows the grace of the princess under pressure, and the dedication of the prince to her. The two characters are both courageous. The princess typically has a maidservant who holds an umbrella over her head, but it looks like she wasn't present here.

[@annapmark536]

I feel the need to share the story of Russian dance as well. I'm not sure which nation it is from but that's certainly a Caucasus nation and many of their dances hold to this principle: all of the dancers are graceful and prideful like birds, males are harsh and determined like eagles and females are reserved and tender like swans. They circle each other the whole dance with males trying to 'impress' females with their moves, much like a mating dance.

[@GG_MELINA]

you're correct, however your translation of it is literal and a western viewpoint of what this actually is. This is the Warrior Dance... which is derived from our DATU Ancestors from Borneo/Malaysia... specifically the Murut Tribe... this story they are telling is about the Tree of Life and how to Access it. In fact there is hidden symbology in everything you see from the colors, to the bamboo... to the women and men... everything has meaning and is connected to something spiritual.

As a Chinese Australian, i would say these dances are both amazing in there own unique way. But i found the Philippine dance with quite lots of skill and dazzling movements. All in all i do think the Philippines slayed here. But for Russia, it was a very elegant, clicky sort of dance. The movements were clean and synchronized. The thing i like about the Russian dance is how neatly they walk and how synchronized they are. Both cultures are astounding in they're on way.

[@zane3125]

TRUE

[@janjamesramos247]

Actually the Filipino dance here is very modified. It's twisted to appeal to modern standards. It's swifter than usual I believe. Whoever is the choreographer here, Im very impressed!!! Im a Filipino as u may have guessed.

[@mikaomiable]

@@janjamesramos247 the first one is singkil dance from the Muslim Maranao tribe. You'll actually danced from the beginning the slowest pace until it gets fast. It's my favorite Moro dance out of all other Moro tribal dances. I dance singkil before and it's pretty difficult with the tiptoeing with the fast hand and legs movement and my feet was caught by the bamboo poles quite times. There's only 3 of us dancing: I, the princess, my prince and my maid carrying the beautiful umbrella and 4 guys holding the 4 bamboo poles. This version is highly modified but I still like it because it's mesmerising to watch to dance between those poles.

Russian is more difficult dance ... It's carrying the balance of the body the elegance of the slow movement is not easy.. We just seen in our eyes that it is very easy but not ...The upper body from shoulder to head it's controlled of less movement is difficult... From the down the toe is obviously carrying all the weight of the body and moving in the air with mussel control and they do it very well very synchronized....impressive .... Philippines is also different level and amazing Both of them is fantastic....

[@maximilianc9897]

Thanks for uploading these videos Larry.

[@gloriationgson2806]

I find our Filipino cultural dance more exotic. The complexities of the moves are hard to execute. That perplex the audience and were delighted as seen by the big applause given to our dancers. Mabuhay Pilipinas!

[@kmen07]

I'm Filipino and danced folk dances through out my high school life. Both dances are hard but I can tell you that the Russian dance is harder because it's much more restricted with movement. But I love my own culture so Go Pinas!

[@sanshirada1119]

Yes. I also commented this one as I was a part of a dance group which showcased tribal dances here in Mindanao. Seeing that Russian dance made my legs and hands shake/cramp remembering the slow dances that I did before 😅 And they are wearing high heels, diba? It looks stilts to me which is woah. I pity the persons on the last lines (V formation) as they would take larger steps. Each has its own beauty and charm. Singkil has thrills which I love - it always brings something from the audience. But in terms of difficulty, I'd rather not do that Russian dance 😅

[@katawamagiliw4963]

Agree..

[@thaaannnn]

Its not a fight between which one is harder but the beauty of their performance.

So impressed with Russian dance,it's my first time to watch them,so well-synchronized,takes alot of discipline and balance. Philippines made the pace alot faster,usually it's slower for those dance, both are awesome,great watch,👍

[@emelmah8821]

Singkil actually goes faster as it progresses. It starts slow then picks up speed and that's what makes it so exciting to watch and dance.

[@ricardogalicinao899]

I love any cultural dances of the world both are unique in their own ways dancers did a very good execution 👏👏👏

[@freddiealviola]

On this performance pareho lang naman po maganda walang lumamang. Pero Kung eh kumpara ang level of skills natin sa mga dances sa Russia? lamang talaga sila.

I hate to say these but. That representation of the Meranao Culture is Nowhere near authentic. I am Part Meranao on my Mother’s side and I have been Immersed in this culture all my Life. The Apir(Hand Fans) are Held, and Maneuvered sloppily. Huge nono for the Outfit! Meranao women do not wear Sablay(sash). They are supposed to wear a Malong(A barrel shaped Garment with Okir Motifs) as a Skirt. The Bai Lawanen(Princess Lawanen) does not wear the sarimanok on her Head because the Sarimanok is a Sacred Figure. Her Color scheme is Wrong, A meranao Princess only Wears Yellow. Green is the Color of The soldier Class. Huge Mis-use of the Malong at the back during the end of the performance. You Tagalogs Should do more Research 👀

I disagree with you completely. Russians and Filipinos belong to two very different cultures, so their dances, their food, their attitude are also different than Filipino. I am Filipino, and I love to see all the Philippine folk dances, but I also appreciate and love to watch dances of another cultures. I do not like to compare, because there is nothing to compare...both are beautiful in their own right. I just came across this video, and ask myself: why would anyone compare dances of different culture? It is like comparing apples and oranges. By the way, I enjoy both Russian and Philippine dances in this video.

This Filipino folk dance is actually Singkil which has its origins from the courtship dance of the Maranao people of Lake Lanao whereas the Tinikling comes from Leyte and it imitates the movements of the tinikling bird trying manuver through trees or dodge the bamboo traps set by rice farmers.

This kind of Filipino dance called Singkil is actually of Indian origin. At some point, Thailand, Philippines, Laos, Indonesia, Cambodia, and Malaysia were all under the influence of Indian culture. IMO, Singkil is very regal and it showcases the elegance of pre-colonial Philippines.
