Alright, thank you very much Mary and Marilyn.
Next we have a Kenning, Kenning Cling dance.
The Kenning Cling is considered by many to be a Philippines national dance.
It originated in the Leyte area of the province.
The dancers movement, imitate the movement of the tickling bird as [Bb] it walks around [N] through the salt mass.
And it has three branches.
A tossed over branch set by farmers.
People perform the dance
[E]
People perform the dance using bamboo poles.
[N] The dancers propose three basic steps which include singles, doubles and hops.
[B] It looks similar to playing jump rope except the dancers perform the steps [N] around and between the bamboo pole.
The dance [G] becomes faster [B] until someone is [Bb] on stage and the next set of dancers takes a turn.
[Bbm]
[Bm] Dancers perform the [N] dance with remarkable grace and speed jumping between bamboo and pole.
This evening we have John and Janie DiCastro, Jason Tadich and Melanie Cruz as our dancers.
Kelly Medrado and Jan Kim Lynn are the clappers.
Without further ado please welcome the Kenning Cling performers.
