Tinikling


Carmencita Y. Kazan - Tinikling

LP released in 1972; includes instructions and diagrams

From the liner notes:

The Tinikling Dance is one of the most dramatic dances in the Philippines. The dance is named after the long-legged "Tikling" birds as they hop between tall reeds and tree branches.

Dancers perform along the sides and between two bamboo poles which are struck together in time to the music. Hopping in between the bamboo poles without getting caught demonstrates skill but it is still a lot of fun even if you get caught.


Equipment:

Two bamboo poles approximately 9 feet long

Two heavy boards at least 2 inches thick and 2 feet long


Costume:

GIRL DANCER - a plaid colorful wrap-around skirt, a loose overblouse with butterfly sleeves
BOY DANCER - bright colored pants with one leg rolled up to mid-calf, with long-sleeved shirt worn outside the pants; a colorful scarf around the neck
Dancers perform barefooted.
