CARINOSA

1. CARIÑOSA

2. Cariñosa means the loving or affectionate one. It is
a Philippine dance of Hispanic origin from the
Maria Clara suite of Philippine folk dances, where
the fan and handkerchief plays an instrumental role
as it places the couple in romance scenario.
This is a kind of dance wherein it shows the
style of courtship between a man and a woman
during Spanish times. This dance steps also
resembles hide and seek actions.

3. The dance originated in Panay Island in the
Visayan Islands and was introduced by the
Spaniards during their colonization of the
Philippines. It is related to some of the
Spanish dances like the bolero and the
Mexican dance Jarabe Tapatio or the Mexican
Hat Dance.
HISTORY

4. COSTUME
Originally, the Cariñosa was danced with Maria Clara
dress and Barong Tagalog for it is a Maria Clara Spanish Dance when it
was introduced. However as the Filipino people saw and imitated this
dance, they wore the patadyong kimona and camisa de chino to reveal
their nationalism to their country and other steps were revised
or Filipinized but the music did not change at all and reveals
a Spanish Influence to the Filipinos. As stated by the book of Francisca
Reyes-Aquino, dancers may wear balintawak style (a native dress of the
Tagalog regions), camisa (a white sleeve) or patadyong kimona (a dress of
the Visayan of people) and for boys, a barong Tagalog and colored pants.
Because it is the national dance, the dancers may wear any
Filipino costumes.

5. MUSIC
It is 3/4 in rhythm like some of
the Spanish dances. The Philippine Rondalla are playing
this music of the dance where it is an ensemble or
an orchestra of string instruments in the Philippines
similar to the Spanish musicians in Spain that
comprises bandurrias, mandolins, guitar, basses, drums,
and banjos. Mostly men are playing rondalla instruments
but women may also take part.
