Kiriwkiw Folk Dance Literature

Kiriwkiw is a folk dance that originated from Ibajay, Aklan in the Philippines. It is derived from the
local word "kiriw", which means to shake or to vibrate. The dance is performed by couples who
mirror each other's movements and come together in an open arm position. The dance is
accompanied by bamboo instruments called "kiriwkiws", which are shaken to produce a rattling
sound.

The kiriwkiw dance is a reflection of the culture and history of the people of Ibajay. It is said that the
dance was inspired by the shaking of the coconut trees during strong typhoons that often hit the
region. The dance also symbolizes the resilience and unity of the Ibajaynons, who face the
challenges of nature with courage and optimism.
