The Filipino culture is rich with music and dance. Some of the most-loved dances include:
- Tinikling - Considered the national folkdance, dancers hop in rhythm between two bamboo poles held just above the ground and struck together in time to music. The dance is a tribute to "tikling birds" who hop over trees, grass stems and bamboo traps set by farmers.
- Binasuan - The word means "with drinking glasses" and the dance showcases the balancing skill of each dancer. Glasses filled with lit candles or ice wine are placed on the head and on each hand.
- Sublian - From two tagalog words: subsub -- falling on head; and Bali -- broken. The movements are lame and crooked.
