Same performance as the other video but from a different angle and with MCees' intro and outro. Great job to our Mcees, KT and Nikki and to everyone else who helped write the script. Thank you to all the supporters/sponsors. And again, thank you to my amazing dancers and to all of FASA for making the seniors last PCN the best ever! heart

Doing this dances represent that balance is possible, that multicultural identities can be harmonized. This is how we chose to harmonize our cultures. We received compliments from everyone including the Filipino Community. The older generation LOVE when we fuse modern music with traditional Filipino dances because, for them, it shows that we do know our culture and are using it in our own way, fitting it in our lives.
Also, I'm sure there are folk songs that have been sampled in rap music.
Wow! It looks so hard! :)
Why is everyone trippin'? LOl' It's not slandering someone else's heritage. It's combining two different cultures. and these people did a great job. My Filipino group does the same thing. We try to make Tinikling more entertaining for Americans by making the dance a little bit different by adding hiphop into it. People need to chill(:
@ThtOnePinoy And for you information, I love my culture. There's nothing I love more then being in the Philippines and being completely immersed in it.
@ThtOnePinoy People can hate all they want. This is my art and I will stand by it and defend it.
@ThtOnePinoy - I choreographed this when I was a member of a Filipino AMERICAN group and, like our advisor always told us, we can't ignore the fact that we are Americans and that the American culture is just as influential in our lives as our Filipino heritage. Ignoring it would be like ignoring that we are Filipino. Many Asian Americans struggle with these duel cultures because they can't find a balance.
@ThtOnePinoy We're taking our culture and making it our own. We do dance traditional dances as well but there's no reason why we can't make our culture our own. People do it all the time. People make variations of traditional foods and clothing, modernizing to fit in with the times or by using different ingredients and materials based on whats available to them wherever they may be. Your entitled to your own opinion, but don't bash ours. This is the art form we chose to showcase OUR culture.
Wow. At least reading the first page doesn't make me feel proud having the Filipino ethnicity in me. Makes me wish I was mixed blooded so I don't have to deal with adjusting to cultural activism lol. Forget the culture crazed Filipino who doesn't welcome one traditional dance fused with another culture, he has his opinion. You control the video comments.
I liked your video. (If you're still in FASA) Do your thing! :) That's something I never seen in my state (Washington).
@ThtOnePinoy Actually I do know it's origin. Which would you like to hear? The one about how tinikling is representative of the tikling bird and how it uniquely and gracefully walks between tree branches and grass stems and how Filipinos used their creativity to create a beautiful and fun dance that imitates the bird using bamboo poles?
@ThtOnePinoy Actually, I've seen a lot of Japanese and Chinese groups do the same thing we did. And don't insult our advisor, she was the Filipino language and cultures teacher for several years. We also got a lot of support from the faculty and students in the South East Asian and Filipino studies programs at our school. In fact, one of our biggest supporters happens to be very involved in the Filipino American National Historical Society.
@ThtOnePinoy I told you, I've studied Asian and Pacific Islander American studies. Don't insult me by accusing me of not knowing my own culture or the origins of dances that I do choreography for.
I'd really like to see a dancing group take this, mix it with a little breakdance, to something dubstep maybe, and with sticks that have lights in them. That is something that would be ridiculously awesome and I'd pay a lot to go see live. Tinikling is one of the coolest things ever, and it should be incorporated into lots of other kinds of dance!
@ThtOnePinoy This is no joke, I assure you. Don't insult me, you don't know me. I have mentored Asian American youth for YEARS. I have studied Asian and Pacific Islander American Studies with some of the most respected professors and lecturers in the field. I am involved in the Filipino American community. I have been involved in movements fighting for Filipino/Asian rights and have raised money to help people back home. So don't put me in the category of giving up on my people.
@ThtOnePinoy Your exact words was that our advisor "doesn't know what they're talking about" that's an insult considering our advisor is well respected in the Filipino community and has been an educator at a very good university of several years. Trust me, she knows WAY more then you every will and she definitely knows what she's talking about. Don't call me "kid". You don't know me.
@ThtOnePinoy Or would you like to hear about the other origin that says that the Spanish use to punish slow Filipino field workers by making them stand between bamboo poles as they clapped the bamboo poles together and that the Filipino people used their creativeness to turn a punishment into a beautiful and fun dance making what was once a punishment into their own beautiful and fun dance?
@ThtOnePinoy OMG!! I didn't "slander someone else's heritage" because I thought it was cool. We did this as a representation that two different cultures (Filipino and American) can coexist harmoniously together, it doesn't have to be one or the other. And if you haven't noticed, we do traditional dances too. Seriously, just stop.
@ThtOnePinoy Well guess what, the people in this video? yeah, they don't care what you think. They like what they're doing and they're having fun. and you saying that your American friends like it better when hiphop isn't added, well that's your friends. Our audience here likes it better when we make it more lively. They get bored when it's too simple. If you didn't like this video, why'd you even watch it. No ones gonna get mad just because we added hiphop to Filipino dances.
@ThtOnePinoy Yeah, you are entitled to your own opinion. I'm merely arguing my point. We don't have to agree and I'm not going to argue with you anymore but stop talking about our advisor! You don't know her, she probably one of the best advisors our group could ever have because she understands that culture is constantly evolving and it doesn't have to be one thing and you can make it your own and fit it into your life so long as you know its origin.
@ThtOnePinoy Don't talk to me like I'm stupid, it's rude and unnecessary. We do these cohesion dances (tinikling or whatever dance we choose to do) not as hit against anyones culture but to show that two different cultures can exist together. You probably missed this earlier, but I DON'T CARE if people get mad about my art. Let them. It's my art, I stand by what I do and will defend it. Not everyone has to like it and I don't expect them to.
ENJOY THE VIDEO. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT THERE'S A SHIT TON ON THE SIDE ------->
galing, mahirap to, kelangan ng tamang bilang pag nagkamali sakit sa paa
@ThtOnePinoy No, I didn't need to look that up and I'm done arguing with you since your very closed minded. If you don't like this dance or any of the other modern tinikling that I or other people have posted onto CZcams then don't watch. It's that simple.
what"s the title of the song/
? first song
Song titles are in the description :) The first song is Appreciate by Latoya London and the second song is Fuego by Pittbull :)
@ThtOnePinoy No offense but there is nothing truly indigenous about Filipino culture anymore unless there is a part of the Philippines that lies untouched from other outside cultural Influences...look at the Barong Tagalog for example, it was never looked upon as indigenous and especially that the Spanish made the Filipinos wear it to emphasize as a status symbol. Pick your own fights but I feel like this argument is going nowhere because we have two polar ideas in which there is no real answer.

Booooooorriinnnnnggggg.........
