Singkil Dance Steps
- Start the Singkil dance by using hopping and stepping patterns. Climb onto a designated set of bamboos being held horizontally by two men. Continue hopping and stepping patterns on the bamboo to move around while making body and hand movements.
- Enter making slow point steps while a fan is in each hand. Using the wrists, move the fan in a variety of ways, including up and down movements and swirling movements to tell a story.
- Enter and dance to the center of the stage with a fan in both hands and moving your hips and arms. In the center, dance in a stationary position. Move only the hips and arms. Use the fan in both hands to make swirls along the body while continually dancing. The men will begin clicking the bamboos; move along the bamboos, avoiding any of the clicking. Continue this when the male dancer comes out to end the courting aspect of the dance.
