Binasuan

The Binasuan is performed by dancers as they carry full wine glasses in both hands and on top of their heads. Wine is traditionally used in the dance, but any dark-colored beverage will do. The dance often involves balancing tricks, so there are no specific moves that are set in stone. If you'd like to try the Binasuan though, these steps will get you started. Consider practicing with empty, plastic cups until you get the hang of the movements.

1. Step in a flowing motion onto the center of your performance area. As you step, balance the wine glass carefully on your head. Also, keep your hands turned up to balance both wine glasses.
2. Sway your hips to the right while lifting the wine glasses high above your head.
3. Sway your hips to the left while lifting the wine glasses high above your head.
4. Twirl in place quickly while balancing the wine glasses for thirty seconds, concluding the twirl with your face to the audience.
5. Step forward with your right foot and bring your right arm forward in a flowing motion.
6. Step forward with your left foot and bring your left arm forward in a flowing motion.
7. Rotate your arms over your shoulder in small, circular motions as you step from left to right in small, quick motions for 30 seconds.
8. Twirl and rotate your arms below shoulder height.
