Question

Create a one paragraph of the history of tinikling dance​

Answer 1

Story behind tinikling: It was a form of punishment for workers who worked too slowly in the large haciendas the Spanish had. More specifically, two spine-tipped bamboo poles were used to hit the feet of the field workers. Legend claims that after a while, the workers trained themselves to dodge the strikes of the bamboo poles.

Answer 2

The dance originated in Leyte. It was created in the likeness of how the tikling birds walk and jump over branches as well as dodge traps set by farmers with its long stilt-like legs. An urban legend also says that the dance was a form of punishment during the Spanish colonial era.
