This article uses ethnographic interviews to examine the production of Filipino traditional dance in three separate settings in the Filipino American community: community associations, student ethnic identity organizations, and professional dance companies. Participants in each setting have used tradition making to pursue different cultural purposes: "nostalgia" in community associations; the celebration of "cultural identity" in student ethnic organizations; and a technically distinct "cultural representation" among professional dance companies. At issue is the social construction of authenticity and the negotiation of appropriate cultural resources to reproduce the past in the present, that is, a "living tradition" in each cultural context. Anselm Strauss's (1963, 1978) concept of the negotiated order is used to analyze the static and dynamic qualities of tradition making and to better understand the social construction of "local authenticity" in each setting.
