Singkil Filipino Folk Dance in Pennsylvania, USA (Cathedral of Learning Open House) 

Labis akong nasisiyahan, na maging sa ibang bansay mga yamang talentoy nakikilala. Ating ipamahagi at lalong tangkilikin talentong ipinagkaloob sa atin. Proud Cultural Adviser here..

the Lakan/Datu should not look down on its path but instead to the princess only. overall good performance

The datu should always look into the eyes of the princess never looking down .. proud to have this culture in me ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇵🇭

Singkil is known as One of the most difficult cultural dance in the Philippines and i teach singkil Four times with 4 flying colors 3 Champions and 1 1st placer both Elementary and High School division in Cultural Folkdance Competition in different part of NCR Philippines way back 2006-2011.... If you were all Filipinos performing this piece, its so really proud to see FilAm doing our native traditional dances and if you were all foreign or collab. You guys did a good job 2 thumbs up! God bless! :-)

I remembered dancing this in high school “linggo ng wika” folk dance contest, luckily we were not supposed to smile during the dance, we danced on an open sunny quadrangle barefooted where we can feel the heat on our feet....we won second place😁

I remember performing this when i was 6 years old... this being a part of our culture made it natural not to fear the bamboos and helped to focus on performance

the datu is scared! remember to always hear the rhyme of the bambo ther is two sound the 1st is the bamboo or kawayan touches the floor 2nd is when both of the bamboo or kawayan hit together but still salute to this new generation bringing our culture to other countries watching from Qatar # frontliner # houskeeping supervisor # mabuhay ang 3 star and a sun

everyone got mistakes but they represented with pride. good job every one!! keep at it!

OMG!! How i miss performing this Ethnic Dance❤️ I'm Proud of you Guys💃❤️

Many times i saw this dance when i was in MSU- Marawi..its always been my favorite folkdance and everytime i watched cant help not to feel nervous for the dancers..😅

I have not seen this kind of folk dance with sticks in over 20 years. Last time I saw this in Manila

The venue looks so beautiful. Great job with the dance too 👏

Grace under pressure must be the goal of this particular dance. I only see pressure though.

The datu- is looking down so he does not suffer ankle injury from the bamboo clapping. Sense of timings important like my mom says. I once wore a sarong & clapped too. Anyway, on internet I came across the Javanese town- namesake of the Singkil dance name. Southwest Java. Again, our cultures- dance, food, weaponry, music the same. An Indonesian female once mistook me for Indonesian😄

The Datu should not look down on the bamboo. His eyes should only focus on the princess. And the bamboo should always get faster and faster as the Princess walks on the bamboo

❤❤❤❤❤

Kulintang would have made it even more perfect. Great show tho.

Una at huli akong nakapanood ng singkil sa MSU!

More practice pa

Now i know what vice ganda danced in private benjamin

ladies behind the camera please Shhhhhhhhhhh....sa ba

It's not from Maranao tribe it's from the Tausug tribe

Sorry,but singkil word is maguindanon tribe,not maranao only in maranao Muslim they called it singkir,but they should not only represent the maranao tribes ,in Philippines but maguindanon specially

sayang naputol..

No need for a sword in church.

I'm sorry, pero di nabigyang ng tamang hustisya ang sayaw, I'm sure napakaraming beses nilang ni rehearsed ang mga stepping dyan, pero wala, gracious dapat ang sayaw na yan, pressure ang nakita at lumabas....🤔🤔🤔

Ano ba yan eto ang pinakapangit kong napanood na singkil. Kakahiya

lousy

Not so impressive. Most of them are looking down.
