Pangalay
Pangalay is a traditional "fingernail" dance of the Tausug people of Jolo,
from the southern Mindanao province of Sulu. The pangalay is commonly performed at
weddings and other social gatherings. The movements of this dance strongly resemble
the movements of "kontaw silat," which is a martial art of the southern
Philippines. |
