Gaway-Gaway (Philippines Folk Dance) - Lahug Elementary School - Grade 1

The Gaway-Gaway is a traditional Visayan folk dance from the Philippines. This dance celebrates the bountiful harvest of the gaway (also known as gabi or taro), a plant that is a staple food among the Waray people.
The dance is characterized by its lively and playful movements, which mimic the actions involved in harvesting the gaway. Dancers, often holding a nigo (a type of woven tray), perform steps that represent digging, pulling, cutting, cleaning, and bundling the gaway.
