Abstract

Ethnic dances are found among the ethnolinguistic groups scattered all over the Philippine islands, who have not been substantially Westernized, either by Spain or the United States. These dances, which are integral to the community's way of life, are: the ritual dances, which connect the material world to the spiritual; the life- cycle dances, which celebrate an individual's birth, baptism, courtship, wedding, and demise; and the occupational dances, which transform defense and livelihood activities to celebratory performances.
