This is an educational purpose.
Before I begin, I would like to pay respect to the Tausug Indigenous peoples from
whom the dance Sua-Ku-Sua came from and to the Indigenous peoples of the
Philippines.
Did you also know that there is a place in the Philippines where they made a dance
for the Pomelo tree? In particular, the Tausug Indigenous group in Southern
Mindanao, Philippines made a dance for the Pomelo tree called Sua-Ku-Sua. Shall we
try saying it again? Sua-Ku-Sua, literally means “My Pomelo Tree” or “My Pomelo
Flower.” “Sua” is also a local term for Pomelo.
Sua-Ku-Sua is a Filipino Indigenous dance that is influenced by the culture of
Indonesians, Malaysians, and Chinese.
Because of the abundance of Pomelo in Jolo, Sulu, the Tausug Indigenous peoples
built a connection with them and made a dance in honor of the Pomelo tree. Sua-KuSua is an Indigenous dance from the Philippines that compares the tree with people--- the slender shape of the trunk and branches, gentle leaves, and beautiful flowers.
As a courtship dance, the dancers communicate with each other through the use of the fans and the movements of the dance. They make use of two white fans that are swayed, as if to signify the swaying of the leaves of the Sua tree while singing along with the music.
