 What Is It

Tinikling is the official national dance of the Philippines and one of the oldest
dances in the archipelago which originated during the Spanish colonial period. It is
characterized by the movements of one or more dancers between two bamboo poles
while these are beaten in a certain rhythm against each other and onto the ground.

Where does Tinikling come from?

This dance is a favorite of the Visayan Islands,

especially in the province of Leyte. The “Tikling”
is a bird with long legs and a long neck It is also
a term that is commonly used for a whole range
of Squacco species. The “Tinikling” dance
therefore, imitates the movement of the “Tikling”
birds as they walk between grass stems or run
over tree branches set by farmers. The dance is
very playful and upbeat and requires endurance
and grace. This spectacular dance is usually
accompanied by a music.

How the Bamboo Dance Works?

There are mainly four people taking part in the dance – two male and two
female dancers. While one couple takes the dance position, the other couple takes

sticks kneeling on the floor and facing each other. The bamboo poles are
approximately 9 feet (about 2.75 m) long and are lying parallel next to each other on
the floor in the beginning. Two pieces of board or bamboo, about 30 inches long and
2 inches thick, are placed under the poles, about 1 foot from the ends. (See diagram
