On the fourth spot of our list of 7 easiest Filipino folk dances with steps is the Tinikling. Tinikling refers to the tikling bird, and Tinikling means “tikling-like.” This is the most popular dance in the Philippines. It may look difficult for a pair of dancers would hop in between clap beating bamboos but it is actually easy to learn. Tinikling may be a fun dance but looking back in the Spanish era, it was a form of punishment for the farmers who are slow with their work. The basic steps for the dance are singles, doubles, and hops.
