traditional filipino folk dance - sayaw sa bangko
Sayaw sa Bangko - ("dance on a bench") is a folk dance from the Pangasinan province of the Philippines. Performers dance on top of a bench that is normally six inches wide.

Please note that i am not a professional photographer. To those who are curious the camera i'm using is Canon Powershot A520.
UPDATE: a very kind soul gave me an ultra nice and spanking new Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS, last October 2008 which i have been using non-stop since then... Thanks again to the one and only Reyna Elena
UPDATE2: last 2009 i finally got myself a DSLR - Canon Rebel Xsi (Canon 450D) to be exact, and have been alternately using it with the PS from REynz
COPYRIGHT. i cant stop anyone from copying my photos, but if you are going to post it or use it in your blog or website please do link this blog or an attribution will do. thanks

I love this dance! Unfortunately, haven't seen it much in cultural shows :(
hi! Thanks for visiting my blog. Yup nakakatuwa sya panoorin and at the same time nakakatakot baka malaglag yun dancer sa makitid na bangko. But these dancers are really good. If you really want to watch try dining at barbaras in intramuros :)
