    Spanish Influence of

    Dancing in the
    Philippines

    PE3 – GROUP ACTIVITY
    Dance, as a form of art, is one of the
    long-lasting Interwoven into our life to
    form the Fabric of Culture. Dance has
    existed since the dawn of time. People
    can communicate through dance
    movements because it has long been a
    significant factor in the expression of
    one's soul and character identity. People
    can also express their joys and sorrows,
    as well as their ideals and aspirations in
    life, through dance.
    Estudiantina, Mazurka Boholana,
    Mazurka Mindorena, and Polka sa
    Nayon are some of the folk dances with
    a Spanish influence. You will learn how
    to dance the Mazurka Mindorena and
    Polka sa Nayon, the last two dances.
    Early Filipinos considered dancing to
    be a religious activity. Priests and
    priestesses danced in thanksgiving for a
    plentiful harvest, a successful battle, a
    safe voyage, or the recovery from
    illness.
    Dancing was an important part of the people's
    social activity during the Spanish regime. The
    kumintang was the oldest dance and song
    among Christianized Filipino groups. It was a
    pantomime song and dance performance.
    Another dance is the Pampango, which is
    characterized by lion movements and hand
    clapping. With the arrival of the Spaniards,
    these dances were put on hold. Today's folk
    dances are adaptations of traditional native
    dances.
    The dances below were also some of the folk dances with Spanish influence not
    only with their movements and with the dance steps, but also with the costumes and
    music used in every dance.
    Estudiantina - is a lively dance that originated
    in the Quezon province of Unisan (formerly
    Tayabas). This dance was popular in social
    gatherings in the past, and it was usually
    performed by young men and women who
    were estudiantesby the barrio folks, as well as
    girls, estudiantinas. As a result, this dance was
    named after him. It was usually performed
    with a flute and a guitar as accompaniment.
    Mazurka Boholana - During the Spanish era,
    this traditional bottom dance was popular in
    Bohol and other provinces. This was
    originally performed with couples scattered
    around the room in an ad hoc manner, with no
    set sequence of steps or direction.
    Mazurka Mindorena - this lovely Mindoro
    festival dance was the premier dance of
    Mindoro's high society during the Spanish
    period. Don Antonio Luna, regarded as one of
    the best dancers of his time, was instrumental
    in preserving and popularizing this dance in
    Mindoro.
    Polka sa Nayon - this ballroom polka was
    popular in the province of Batangas during
    the Spanish time. It was usually danced
    during town fiestas and in big social affairs.
