Uiteraard kennen we allen de Tinikling ( zie de files van YouTube )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjs9zyzLA70&NR=1http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeZwzAIh-UsIk krijg rillingen als ik het zie uitvoeren, het lijkt zo simpel maar het is verdomd moeilijk.
Tinikling is very similar to jump rope, but instead of a spinning rope, two bamboo poles are used. Two people hold the poles, one pole in each hand. They hit the poles on the floor, then raise them, then hit the poles together. The person(s) in the middle hop over and outside the poles before they come together. The sticks are repeatedly being opened and closed by two performers during the dance. There is a rhythm that the performers with the sticks must follow, but the rhythm isn't the same for all the other performers. The speed changes, twists, turns, and steps are what make the Tinikling an exciting dance to watch.
The dance imitates the movement of the tikling birds as they walk between grass stems, run over tree branches, or dodge bamboo traps set by rice farmers. Dancers imitate the tikling bird's legendary grace and speed by skillfully maneuvering between large bamboo poles. Tinikling means "bamboo dance" in English.Voor hen die het willen uittesten, op deze site vindt je de muziek waarop je kunt oefenen.
