RIGODON

-Dance origin

The Rigodon---also called Rigodon de Honor---is a traditional dance from the Philippines that evolved from dances brought to the Pacific islands by Spanish settlers in the sixteenth century (the Rigodon dance was also said to be popular in French and Spanish courts). Historically, the dance is meant to represent a certain sense of elevated status among those who take part in it, and is often performed at galas, balls and other formal occasions celebrated by the rich and powerful, especially those in government.

    Rudolf Laban was born in Bratislava, Hungary on the 15th of December 1879 into an aristocratic, military family. Laban’s parents were Austro-Hungarian but his fathers family was from France and his Mothers family was from England.

During the Santo Nino fiesta which falls on the third Sunday of January, children dressed moro-moro costumes also dance the Sinulog.…
