The traditional dance of the country is derived from a unique mix of Spanish, Malay and Muslim influences. Tinikling (bamboo or heron dance) and pandanggo sa ilaw ('dance of lights') are among some of the most beautiful Malay dances while singkil (court dance) is the most popular Filipino-Muslim dance. The Spanish dances such as habanera, jota and paypay (the fan dance) can be seen performed in the Philippine variations. Many good old folk dances, especially the national dance named tinikling have become a hit with tourists.
Bayanihan Dance Company excels in cultural dance while the country's leading ballet company is Ballet Philippines based at the Cultural Center of the Philippines.

"Pagdiwata," or "Thirteenth Moon"
In August 2003, in conjunction with MOONFEST's inaugural year, The Bayanihan National Folk Dance Company of the Philippines (the Bayanihan) performed a piece derived from the Pagdiwata, a seven-day rite of the Tagbanua tribe in Palawan City on the island of Mindanao. It's based on the belief that on the occasion of a thirteenth moon, three goddesses descend from the heavens, become priestesses and join villagers in celebration, blessing the planting of the rice fields.
The piece was taught to the Bayanihan by Carmen de Jesus Tiglao, choreographer and founder of the Baile Foundation of the Philippines. It was originally researched and choreographed by Lucretia Reyes Urtula. The choreography distills the Pagdiwata to a seven-minute dance performance. The three goddess-priestesses balance lighted bowls on their heads while carrying bowls in their hands. The bowls contain burning candles meant to light the villagers' way to the fields. As the goddess-priestesses dance between bamboo poles, the villagers dance around them.

Tiklos (also called "pintakasi") is the Waray equivalent to the "bayanihan". Groups of people work for somebody without hoping for anything in return. They work odd jobs like clearing forests, digging the earth for wells, moving a nipa hut to a new location or even building a house! In all these for free. Of course grateful benefactors would offer drinks and food; but it is not always expected. During breaks these people dance the tiklos accompanied by the subing (plawta), gimbal and tambora drums or when available, the "sista". The Tiklos music is also played to call them back to work.
