the fact is that the majority of students at any dance studio do not go on to have a

The world of dance is rich with history and personalities. In fact, the Cultural
Center of the Philippines (1994) compiled the extensive history of Philippine dance
Philippine Art. Similarly, Joaquin (1994) in his book titled “La Orosa: The Dance
Drama that is Leonor Goquingco” found it essential to delve into Philippine dance
history through discussing the biographies of its notable personalities and chronicles
of ideal moments in the history.In addition to this, the field of Dance comprises of a
wide and ever-growing list of genres including ballet, folk, and modern dance
(Mercado, 2009). Each of these genres is subject to its own history and evolution.

which incorporated feminist theories were Myra Beltran, Kristin Jackson, and Agnes

dances such as the Pandanggo, Cariñosa, and Subli, and even to more modern-day
dances like the ballet, it is no doubt that dance in the Philippine setting has
integrated itself in society over the course of many years and is significantly
imbedded in culture. Each of these dances originated in a unique way and serve a
certain purpose, showcasing how diverse Philippine dances are now. Furthermore,

folk dances as “really for and by the common people. A recreation program for these

relief from the monotony and dreariness of manual labor.” He continues, “This new
continuous labor in the interest of preserving for posterity the genuine culture,

1960a, p. I). In the third volume, Aquino notes:The value of folk dancing as a cultural
and recreational activity is more fundamental than its being a means towards
development of nationalism. Its higher value lies in the wholesome recreation and
spiritual satisfaction it can provide, and the preservation of the people’s culture Care

Goquingco (1980) uses two general categories to describe the different “ethnic”
