Folk dances

Description

Folk dancing is an essential unit of the total physical education program. At present all public and private schools in the Philippines include folk dance instruction in their physical education classes. Folk dancing was never taken up by large numbers until recent years. The revival of interest and the increased popularity of our native folk dances must nave been brought out by the success of the performances of the different folk dance groups in the country and abroad.

Our folk songs and dances have been handed down to us our heritage. They evolved during a time about which have very written historical records. Except for the pioneering work of Mrs. Francisca Reyes Aquino, Philippine folk dance literature is unquestionably meager in this country. The publication of a book containing instruction in dancing is very appropriate at this time since it will meet the needs of many teachers and leaders in the physical and dance fields.
