Filipino Dances

APAMSA as their contribution for this year's Cultural Fair (a collaboration b/t different SOM student organizations) will be doing Filipino Dances choreographed by Knic Rabara! I've attached some youtube versions to give you an idea of what these dances are if you've never seen them. They aren't the best videos but you'll get the idea. If you are interested (you do not have to be Filipino or Asian, you just have to want to learn that's all), please email me and let me know.

On the docket possibly are:
tinikling (bamboo stick dance), kinda reminds me of double dutch for some reason =)

sayaw sa bangko (bench dance)

maglalatik (coconut bra dance), men in coconut bras, need I say more??

Hi my name is Knic Rabara and I was googling my name and came across this site cuz I was mention in it. Although I was the one who choreographed the cultural dances I just found it funny that my name was being mentioned. =) Thank you by the way for trying to advertise for us. Have a good day!
