Pre-colonial period
The Philippines have many popular folk dances which have evolved and changed as they have
been passed down from generation to generation. Although a particular dance might be
performed slightly differently from one region to the next, its remains true to its roots.
Dancing plays an important role in Filipino culture, telling their history and preserving traditions
through folk dances and music. These dances are entertaining to observe, and even more fun
to learn and perform yourself.

The Polkabal
The Polkabal shows some European
influence in its steps. The dance is
composed of nine different steps which
include various movements such as
fluttering, stepping heel-to-toe, a
reenactment of a bull fight, and even a
leisurely walk.
