Cariñosa
Cariñosa (Spanish pronunciation: [kari'nosal, meaning the loving or
affectionate one]) is a Filipino folk dance of Hispanic heritage that is part of the
Maria Clara suite. The fan or handkerchief plays a crucial role in setting up the
romantic scene by putting the couple in it.
The origins of Cariosa Filipino dances are a fusion of native, Asian, American,
Latin, and European forms. When the Spaniards arrived in the nation in the 16th
century, they brought with them the cariosa, a well-known traditional dance.
Popular traditional dances are performed all around the Philippines, including the
cariosa dance. It is a piece from the Maria Clara collection of Filipino folk dances.
These bear the name Maria Clara in recognition of the protagonist of Jose Rizal's
book Noli Me Tangere ('Don't Touch Me,' about the Spanish colonization of the
Philippines. Maria Clara, who is portrayed in it as a noble and devoted woman,
later became the 19th century's representation of women.
Cariosa's Dance Moves the basic footwork is similar to the waltz's steps: you
move your feet. By first positioning your right foot adjacent to your left, you can
circumnavigate the floor by stepping to the side with your left foot. You end this
three-movement sequence by tapping your left foot on the ground. Replicate same
actions, but this time start by stepping to the side with your right foot. Spins are
yet another essential component of cariosa. They pick the final two bars of an
eight-bar progression. The male partner in a dance duet either places his hands
on his hips or folds them behind his back. The most useful way to conceptualize
this modified hands-on-hips stance is to make sure your thumbs point inward
toward your waist and your knuckles rest on your love handles, even if you don't
have them. If you're the female, hold your skirt up a few inches off the floor by
taking each side of your skirt between your thumb and forefinger. You can either
do two turns, one for each three-beat bar, or one turn on the first three-beat bar.
For the latter, you simply stand still for the last three-beat bar. You'll always turn
to the right.
Cariñosa
When the Spaniards arrived in the nation in the 16th century, they brought with
them the Cariñosa, a well-known traditional dance. It is a member of the Maria
Clara collection of Filipino traditional dances. These were given this name in honor
of Maria Clara, the protagonist of Jose Rizal's book Noli Me Tangere 'Don't Touch
Me,' about the Spanish colonization of the Philippines. Maria Clara, who is
presented in it as a noble and devoted woman, later became the feminine
embodiment of virtue for Filipina women after the novel's 19th-century
publication.
The Cariñosa is a traditional Filipino dance from the Panay, Visayas, and
Bicol regions that symbolizes the courting stage of a love relationship. The
cariosa exhibits the strong spanish cultural influences in the Philippines and
has historical roots in the period of Spanish colonization. The fundamental
dancing moves will be covered in the first class. The various dancing
segments will be included in the second class. You can decide to finish all
of the sections or only some of them. As it is a partnered dance, students
are asked to cooperate. Additionally, kids will have the chance to use
accessories like fans and handkerchiefs in ways that mimic the cunning
game of hide-and-seek.
A man and a female cariosa typically dance together while facing one
another. One group may also execute it, but they must work in pairs. The
man must carry a handkerchief, while the female must wear a fan. The
female wears "patadyong" with a soft "panhuelo." The boy is dressed in
"kamisa de chino" or "barong taglog" of any hue.
