Creator's description


It’s time we had a look at a bit of folk dancing… As you might expect it is a slightly odd mixture of oriental and Spanish styles.

But this, I suppose, is a true Filipino dance, and it’s trickier than it looks at first sight. You have to step in and out between the bamboo sticks without getting your feet caught.
Bonar, Andrew Graham
