Singkil is a dance that takes its name from the bells worn on the

ankles of the Muslim princess. It's one of the oldest of Filipino

dances. Singkil recounts the epic legend of the "Darangan" of the

Maranao people of Mindanao. The dancers wear straight, solemn

faces and maintain a dignified pose while dancing at a slow pace.

The music gradually progresses to a faster tempo while the

dancers skillfully manipulate their fans, representing winds. The

dancers weave expertly through criss-crossed bamboos.
