Key facts from the background:
- Pangalay is also known as Daling-Daling, or Mengalai in Sabah. It is the traditional “fingernail” dance of the Tausug of the Sulu Archipelago and Sabah.
- It is called the most distinctively Asian of the Southern Philippine dances. Dancers need flexible shoulders, elbows, and wrists, with movements like those of kontaw silat, a martial art of the Malay Archipelago.
- It is performed mainly at weddings and other festive events.
- The male version, with more martial movements, is the Pangasik. A pangalay with both a male and a female dancer is the Pangiluk.
- The original idea comes from the pre-Islamic Buddhist concept of celestial angels (Vidhyadhari in Sanskrit, Biddadari in Bahasa Sug).
- Expert dancers wear janggay on each finger. Wealthy people have janggay made of solid gold or silver.
- When performed by the natives, the dance has no fixed directions, sequence of figures, or set steps. For teaching, figures may be created and combined.
Basic steps and dance terms
| Dance step | Time signature | Step pattern |
|---|---|---|
| Pivot turn | 2/4 | Step, ball and turn, repeated |
| Skip | 2/4 | Step and hop |

How to use this module
- Start with the pretest (What I Know). It has 15 multiple-choice items. A perfect score means you may skip the module. One or more mistakes means you should go through it.

For learners: Lesson 1 asks you to make a paper miniature Pangalay dancer as a “little ambassador” and paste it in your notebook.

Lesson 1 Nature and Background of the Dance
Philippine folk dances speak so much about the heartbeat of our people for they tell us about our customs, ideas, beliefs, superstitions, and events of daily living in a certain community. Just by looking at the costumes, props, and implements of a certain group or tribe would tell you of the origin of the dance. The kind of music being used readily also tells about the influences brought about by trade and settlement of our neighboring countries.
What’s In

Directions: Using the graphic organizer below, write down at least five (5) of the different health-related physical activities that you can do in order to improve your dancing skills. Write your answer in your activity notebook.

What is It
Philippine folk dances speak so much about the heartbeat of our people for they tell us about our customs, ideas, beliefs, superstitions, and events of daily living in a certain community. Just by looking at the costumes, props, and implements of a certain group or tribe would tell you of the origin of the dance. The kind of music being used readily also tells about the influences brought about by trade and settlement of our neighboring countries such as China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Burma, Cambodia, Thailand and Japan to name a few. Truly evident is the effect of acculturation in the country as manifested by the kinds of costumes, props, music, and dance steps that are used and integrated into some of our regional and national folk dances. The use of gongs, kulintangs and the incorporation of pentatonic scale to our musical compositions are just concrete proofs of acculturation in the country. These are the reasons why Philippine folk dances contribute to the very rich culture of the country.
The following historical backgrounds and context of the dance literature of Pangalay would give you a clear picture of the nature and background of this regional and national folk dance. This will help you understand its significance and cultural value, including the beauty and complexity of the people’s lives living in those places.
Study this dance carefully and imbed in you their importance to the development of cultural value.
