Sinulog
The Sinulog is a ritual dance that is performed in honor of Santo Niño.
It's now a part of the annual Sinulog festival, and dancers wear brightly colored, traditional costumes for it. Drum music must accompany this entire dance.
- Stand straight and offer candles (real or symbolic) towards a painting or other depiction of Santo Niño.
- Recite a prayer to the saint.
- Using slow, steady movements, bounce with your torso in a wave-like, circular motion.
- Continuing the flowing movements, take two steps forward.
- Take one step backward as you try to keep the steady movements.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 for as long as the drums are playing.
- Conclude the dance with a prayer.
