    Basic movement skills in traditional Philippine folk dances include hopping, leaping, pivoting, shuffling, and brushing steps. Hopping involves springing into the air from one foot and landing on the same foot. Leaping is transferring weight from one foot to the other by pushing off and landing on the ball of the other foot. Pivoting is a travelling turn executed with thighs locked and feet apart. Shuffling is a triple step similar to a polka without any lift. Brushing involves sweeping or scuffing the foot against the floor. Western influences incorporated swaying, waltzing, and tap dance moves into Philippine folk dances.

    stretching from side upwards.
