What is Tribal Dance?


• Tribal dances, also known as ethnic dances,
originated in Mindanao and are the type of
dances that reflect Mindanao's natural
environment as well as their rituals and beliefs.
Each dance form is unique in step and design
as it is related to the lifestyle of the people
from differing tribes.
• Tribes in Mindanao are known for their
intricate craftmanship in metal, clothing, and
jewelry which they commonly use as costumes
for their tribal dances.

1. Malakas at Maganda
2. Binaylan
3. Bagobo Rice Cycle
4. Bugso
5. Kadal Tahaw
Malakas at Maganda
• Malakas at Maganda is a tribal dance. It interprets the
Manobo folklore wherein a weary bird perched on a large
bamboo heard strange noises inside. It pecked the
bamboo until it split open. From inside the bamboo came
the first man and woman Malakas (the strong) and
Maganda (the beautiful), respectively.

Binaylan
• The Bagobo tribe from the central uplands of
Mindanao originated this dance which imitates the
movement of a hen, her banog, or baby chicks, and a
hawk. The hawk is sacred, and it is believed that the
hawk has the power over the well-being of the tribe.
The hawk tries to capture one of the chicks and is
killed by the hunters.

Dugso
• Dugso (meaning 'dance') is a ceremonial dance among the Manobo
people in Bukidnon, Agusan and Misamis Oriental . The Dugso (also Dugsu)
is usually performed during important occasions like kaliga (feasts) or
kaamulan (tribal gatherings). Other occasions that call for the performance
of Dugso are festivities connected to abundant harvest, the birth of a male
heir or victory in war. Brandeis however, claimed that the dugso has no
specific occasion underpinning aside from that of the kaliga-on festivities.
He said that it is only performed to "entertain their deities". The Dugso for
a kaliga is usually performed on the third day which is usually the merriest
being the culmination of the whole celebrations.
•Dugso have at least twelve known versions and the most popular versions
are the Dugso Songco, Dugso Kalasungay, Dugso Cabanglasan, Lagoras,
Inaksyon and the Hinaklaran.

flying behavior of the Tahaw Bird. Malong and salakut
(hat) is worn in this dance. This is performed to celebrate
good harvest.
