The Philippines' famed tinikling dance will be featured in the 28th Fil-American Community of the Carolinas (FACC) gala night next week.
The tinikling, one of the oldest traditional Filipino dances will be performed by the members of the Philippine Cultural Dance Troupe of Charlotte, said Florami Lao Cordero-Lee, past FACC president and chairperson of the dance troupe.
Florami Lao Cordero-Lee and Alma Butler will be joined by the bamboo clickers and background dancers Marichor Ducusin, Sony Krupp, Ghing Voght, Dhi Donato and Amira Issa.
Lee said the group never tires in performing cultural dances of the Philippines especially tinikling.
This year the troupe performed several Filipino cultural dances at the Unity Festival with Asian countries, the “Hello Asia Inspire” event at the UNCC, Wells fargo, Christian Adoption Services and at several nursing and senior homes among others.
Tinikling, also called the bamboo dance, is said to have originated from Leyte province and takes its name from the movements of the “tikling bird” as it moves through its habitat.
The 28th annual black tie gala night of the FACC will be held at the Embassy Suites at Concord on Nov. 14.
