What learners will learn
The module states one learning objective. After going through it, learners are expected to:
- describe the nature and background of Tinikling.
Along the way, learners also practice the bamboo-pole rhythm, learn the basic steps, and identify the fitness components the dance develops.
Lessons in this module
The module has one lesson, Tinikling. The “What I Need to Know” page calls it Lesson 1, while the lesson page is headed Lesson 2. The lesson starts with a heart-rate workout that reviews the previous lesson on cardiovascular activities. It then introduces Tinikling’s origin, costume, and formation, and ends with hands-on rhythm and step activities.
About the Tinikling dance
- Origin: Tinikling comes from the province of Leyte. Its steps imitate the tikling bird, a bird with long legs and a long neck, as it plays in the rice fields and jumps over tree branches.
- Bamboo poles: Dancers move beside and between two bamboo poles about 9 feet long, laid flat on the ground. Two bamboo players sit facing each other and strike the poles together in time with the music. Two boards or pieces of bamboo, about 30 inches long and 2 inches thick, sit under the poles about one foot from the ends. The skill is in dancing between the poles without getting your feet caught.
- Costume: Girls wear the “Balintawak” or patadyong. Boys wear the Barong Tagalog and long red trousers with one leg rolled up. Everyone dances barefoot.
- Formation: Dancers stand at the left side of the poles, with the girls in front facing the audience.
Rhythm and basic steps
Tinikling uses a 3/4 time signature, which means three beats (counts) in every measure. The music has two parts:
- Music A: counted 1, 2, 3. Strike the poles (or two plastic bottles) on the floor on counts 1 and 2, then strike them together on count 3.
- Music B: counted 1, and, 2, 3. Strike the right bottle (count 1), then the left (count “and”), then the right (count 2), then strike both together (count 3).
In Activity 2, learners practice these rhythms at home with two plastic water bottles or empty cans on a table or the floor, in place of real bamboo poles.
The basic step (Activity 3.1) takes two measures:
- First measure: Hop on the left foot outside the poles (count 1). Hop on the right foot between the poles (count 2). Hop on the left foot in the same spot while raising the right foot, with the right arm bent up to head level doing “kumintang” (turning the hand counterclockwise) (count 3). Girls hold the skirt with the left hand; boys put the left hand on the waist.
- Second measure: Hop on the right foot outside the poles on the right side (count 1). Hop on the left foot between the poles (count 2). Hop on the right foot in the same spot and reverse the hand positions (count 3).
Fitness benefits of Tinikling
Besides cardiovascular endurance, the module explains that Tinikling builds muscular strength and muscle tone, helps with weight management, and relieves stress. It also links the dance to these skill-related fitness components:
| Skill-related fitness | How Tinikling develops it |
|---|---|
| Agility | Changing direction while turning or jumping out of the bamboo |
| Coordination | Doing hand movements while hopping in and out of the poles |
| Power | Clapping the bamboo poles while keeping the speed |
| Speed | Keeping up with the rhythm of the dance |
| Balance | Staying up on one leg while hopping |
| Reaction time | Jumping out before the bamboo closes |
How to use this module
- Learners: Start with the 15-item pretest (“What I Know”). Then do the heart-rate workout and record your resting and active heart rate, followed by the matching activity and the three “What’s More” activities. Finish with the four assessment questions and the additional activity, which is a drawing or paper doll of a dancer in Tinikling costume. Write your answers on a separate sheet, not on the module.
- Parents: Help your child find a safe space and two bottles or cans for the rhythm practice. Encourage honest use of the answer key, which covers the pretest, the matching activity, and Activity 1.
- Teachers: The Notes to the Teacher advise giving learners at least one week before presenting performance tasks. Learners may present through an online presentation, an uploaded or transferred video, or a home visit. Before using the answer key, check pretest items 9 and 11. The key gives A (Bicol) for item 9, but the lesson says Tinikling comes from Leyte. For item 11 the key gives D (Kamison), while the lesson says boys wear the Barong Tagalog.

Tinikling
Tinikling is a dance which originated from the province of Leyte. The basic movements and steps of this dance were made by imitating the movements of the Tikling birds (a bird with long legs and a long neck) while playing in the rice fields and jumping over tree branches.
The performers dance along the sides and between two bamboo poles, about nine (9) feet long, which are placed horizontally on the ground. The poles are struck together in time to the music. Skill is demonstrated in dancing between the bamboos, and in keeping the feet from being caught.
Two (2) bamboo players sit opposite each other on the ground holding the ends of the bamboo poles. Two pieces of board or bamboo, about thirty (30) inches long and two (2) inches thick, are placed under the poles, about one foot from the ends. (see Illustration 1)
Costume: In the dance, the girls wear “Balintawak” or Patadyong. The boys wear Barong Tagalog and long red trousers with one leg rolled up. They dance barefoot.
Formation: dancers stand at the left side of the bamboo poles, girls in front facing the audience (see Illustration 1)

Time Signature is a musical notation used to specify how many beats are there in each measure. The Tinikling dance, uses ¾ time signature. It has 3 beats (counts) in every measure (1m). The music of Tinikling dance is divided into two parts: Music A uses counting 1, 2, 3 in every measure, while Music B uses counting 1, 2 & 3 in every measure.

What I Have Learned
Aside from improving the cardiovascular endurance, Tinikling also improves other skills such as the following:
| Skill-related Fitness | Skills in Tinikling |

| Balance | Stay standing on one leg while hopping. |
| Reaction time | Jumping out of the bamboo before it closes. |
What I Can Do
Dancing does not only improve our cardiovascular endurance, it also develops muscular strength, muscular tone, and also helps you manage your weight. Tinikling also develops hand coordination, agility, foot speed, and rhythm. Since dancing Tinikling is fun and enjoying, it is also a good stress reliever and promotes fun and exciting experience.
