Cariñosa, meaning the loving or affectionate one,

is considered as a courtship dance that portrays

acts of flirtation between a man and a woman.

The dance is known for its hide-and-seek

movements, which is also common in all different

versions of this dance.

Musical groups include banjos, mandolins, strings and drums. The orchestra used to only have men, but now more and more women are starting to take part.

The Filipino people changed the clothing and some the steps to show their love as a Filipino.

The music of Cariñosa

reveals a great Spanish

influence to the Filipinos.

It is a 3/4 rhythm like

some Spanish dances, and

it also resembles a bolero

or a waltz in both speed

and style.

The dance was

introduced to the

Philippines by

Spaniards when they

first arrived in

Panay Island during

their colonization of

the Philippines in 1569.

Soon after, the dance

spread throughout the

Philippines, creating

different versions from

different regions, such

as in Bicol, where both

dancers carry

handkerchiefs.

It is believed that the

Cariñosa originated from

the Panay Island, located

in the Visayan Islands

group.

It was traditional for

a Spanish 'Maria

Clara' costume

to be worn, which

consisted of a

long dress

and a long-

sleeved short

embroidered

dress made from

pineapple fibers.

The Cariñosa is a Philippine folk dance of Hispanic origin from the Maria Clara suite of Philippine folk dances, where a fan or handkerchief plays an instrumental role as it places the couple in a romantic scenario.

while men

wear white

shirts and

coloured

trousers.

The Cariñosa was named in honour of Maria Clara, who was the main character in Jose Rizal's novel "Noli Me Tangere" ('Don't Touch Me'). In the 19th century, after the publication of the novel, she became the female symbol of virtue for Filipina women.

But nowadays,

women wear

more

traditional

Philippine

dresses,

Cariñosa

The Cariñosa is believed to have replaced a famous native dance, called

"Tinikling," as the "National Dance of the Philippines" in 1992. Although,

according to the Philippine Information Agency, Tinikling is still the

National Dance of the Philippines.
