Group 3

The Itik-Itik folk dance is a traditional dance


from the Philippines, specifically originating
from the Visayan region. It's named after the
Philippine duck, "itik," and mimics the
movements of a duck. The dance is often
performed during festive occasions and
cultural celebrations.
It originated in the province of Surigao in
Mindanao. In Itik-itik (from the Tagalog word
for "duck"), the dance steps imitate the
movements of ducks among rice paddies
and swamplands, such as wading, flying,
and short, choppy steps.
The dance is believed to have originated from the dance
Sibay danced to the Dejado music.

The Sibay is a bird dance that came from neighboring


Visayan Islands. According to the folklore, this
traditional dance was first performed by a young woman
named KANANG who was the best dancer in the province
of Surigao del Norte. At a baptismal reception, she was
asked to perform and she improvised her dance steps to
imitate the way a duck walks and splashes the water on
its back to attract the other mate.
