PROPS AND COSTUMES
A true Tinikling performance is a feast for the senses, and it's more about the slamming bamboo poles. Colorful costumes and outfits that catch the eye, the agility of the dancers trying to avoid getting caught by the poles, and the rondalla olaying music that hypes up not only the dancers, but the audience as well; these are all important elements that make up a complete Tinikling performance!
BAMBOO POLES
BAMBOO POLES
The most crucial part of Tinikling is the rhythmic clapping of the bamboo poles. These aren't just sticks; they're percussive instruments and a dynamic part of the performance.
The poles are typically made of bamboo, long enough to accommodate one or more dancers, and are around 6 to 12 feet in length, held by two or more people known as the "clappers" or "clickers".
