La Jota, at one time was the most popular dance performed by the Spanish Senoritas and Caballeros in Spain. Apparently, they brought it with them to many areas of the world, including a town called Moncada, Tarlac in the Philippines. The people from Moncada adapted the dance and through time, created their own version uniquely Filipino, calling it La Jota Moncadena. The use of bamboo castanets make the dance lively and delightful to watch.
The clicking of castanets accompanies this dance with influences of polka, waltz and mazurka
