Cultural Connections: A Weekend of Identity and Inspiration
DAY 2: "Pangalay Ha Baluy" - The Woven Mat Dance
Join us in our continued journey through Filipino culture, ethnic identity, and folk dance as we learn the Pangalay Ha Bulay, or the woven mat dance! Guided by Philippine dance and culture practitioner Don Aguillo, this workshop will explore the principles of Pangalay dance with the use of the "Baluy" or woven mat! Not only will you learn the elegant dance movements featured in Pangalay, you'll also be able to appreciate the intricate design and masterful weaving of the Tausug mats.
