    PHILIPPINE
    FOLK DANCE
    with Asian
    Influence
    What is Dance?
    • Dance is an art form characterized by use of the
    human body as a vehicle of expression. Dance has
    been described as “an exciting and vibrant art
    which can be used in the educational setting to
    assist the growth of the students and to unify the
    physical, mental, and emotional aspects of the
    human being”.
    • Dance is immediately accessible for most people-no
    special equipment needed, just the ability to move.
    What is Folk Dance?

    • Folk dance, generally, a type of dance that


    is a vernacular, usually recreational,
    expression of a past or present culture. Folk
    dances are dances bound by tradition with
    movements passed down through the
    generations. Folk dance is not just one
    singular style of dance, but a collection of
    many dances. 
    Why is Folk Dance important?
    • Primarily, it keeps a culture of people alive,
    by sharing and teaching younger generations
    the dances. Dance keeps the history of
    people alive as well. Dance are ways a
    community celebrates a special event or
    important date in time. There are a place to
    socialize with family and friends, meet your
    neighbors, making new friends.
    Philippine Folk Dances speak so much about the
    heartbeat of our people for they tell about our
    customs, ideas, beliefs, superstitions, and events
    of daily living in a certain community. Just by
    looking at the costumes, props, and implements
    of a certain group or tribe, you can tell the
    origin of the dance. The kind of music being used
    readily also tells about the influences brought
    about by trade and settlement of our
    neighboring countries such as China, Malaysia,
    Burma, Cambodia, Thailand, and Japan.
    SUA- KU-SUA
    SUA- KU- SUA
    Dance Researcher : Ramon A. Obusan
    Meaning : My Pomelo Tree
    Dance Culture : Muslim- lowland (Coastal)
    Place of Origin : Jolo, Sulu
    Country of Influence : China, Malaysia and Indonesia
    Ethno- linguistic Group : Tausug
    Classification : Courtship
     

    The dependence of the Tausug on


    the Pomelo tree and its fruits have
    created a bond between the two
    which prompted the Tausog of Jolo,
    Sulu to make a dance honoring the
    latter. The Sua-Ku-Sua or “my
    Pomelo tree” is a dance that likens
    the sua’s gentle leaves, attractive
    fruits, its fragrance and slender
    body to that of a lady. Performed
    by couples, the Sua-Ku-Sua dancers
    make use of two white fans that are
    swayed, as if to signify the swaying
    Background
    Aside from being known as fierce warriors, the
    Tausug of Jolo, Sulu are also remarkable as seafarers
    and farmers.
    In Sulu, extensive orchards are planted with
    coconut and Pomelo and the field with stables like rice
    and root crops. Pomelo fruit serve as an important
    source of income of the people of Sulu. Their
    dependence on Pomelo fruits for their livelihood
    inspired them to create Sua- Ku- Sua dance.
    The movements of the dance compare sua’s gentle
    leaves, slender branches, attractive fruits, and
    fragrant flowers to a lady. During the performance,
    the couples sing while flapping two white fans which
    represent the leaves rustling in the wind.
    The performers, especially women, dance with faces
    thickly covered with finely ground rice powder. Their
    eyebrows and sideburns are enhanced with soot for
    aesthetic purposes.
    Movements/ Steps Particular to Dance
