BEST ANSWER :

Philippine Folk Dance is a diverse. element of our society. A folk dance is not just an ordinary dance. It is not just something that you sway on. Each folk dance has a distinct meaning that also

represents distinct Filipino traits. Philippines folk dances convey meaning

in its:

Beat and Rhythm

Steps

The Region it Represents

Step-by-step explanation:

Beat and Rhythm

The faster and louder it is, the stronger message it portrays. We Filipinos are known to be brave people. That is why there are folk dances such as Tinikling, Pandanggo sa llaw, and Singkil. The beat and rhythm of these dances all convey the bravery of the Filipinos.

Steps

Our Folk Dance like Tinikling is a good representation. The bamboo sticks represent anybody who would like to possess our land. In the steps, dances should be careful and fast enough so they don't get caught by the bamboo. sticks. This again represents our cultural heritage and bravery. Dancers are Filipinos who don't want to be underdogs

of other countries who want to possess

our land.

The Region it Represents We are an archipelago. Each region has a specific trait to convey. That is why, we have a lot of folk dances. Each region conveys a certain message that represents Filipino traits.
