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.
