Traditional Dance of Leyte Tinikling, Philippines | Ride N' Seek Philippines S4

Leyte is an island in the Visayas group of Philippines. The people of Leyte are also known across the archipelago as some of the finest dancers. It was here that the national folk dance of Tinikling was born, which imitates the movements of the native tikling birds when they evade the farmers’ bamboo traps.
The dance involves two bamboo poles, which set the rhythm and tempo, and the dancer has to evade these crashing bamboos with a light-footed dance. There is always the risk of a foot being caught between the two bamboo poles, especially for Tinikling rookies like Jaime.
