They made us do this in school. This beat you got is actually the basic one. Imagine doing this in a traditional costume and with varying beats with matching choreography. And yes, blindfolded. And... with a clay pot thing balanced on the top of your head. It was so damm hard. But it was fun.
When we did it, the tricks our teacher gave us were: -DON'T hold hands. If you managed to lose your balance, you'll make the other person lose theirs too. -When stepping out of the bamboo, make sure that your feet doesn't stray too far away. That way, you can step in without having to take another big step (it actually makes dancing a bit easier) -Try not to look down. The more you focus on your feet and trying hard not to get your feet struck with the bamboo, the more chances you'll get stuck, the more sore feet you get. -Keep your hands to your sides(like a penguin), and refrain from flailing your arms around. (It actually helped us steady our bodies) -Its a playful and traditional dance. Smile, feel the rhythm flowing through your feet. Dance Filipino Style.
Also, never go flatfooted. You push too much energy that way and you tend to lose balance more. Stay on your tip toes so that it can be quicker and be less likely to get clapped
also!! don't jump so high! the bamboo sticks move sideways, not upwards. you get tired sooner if you're leaping a foot in the air to avoid the bamboo sticks. just do a lil hop. don't raise your feet too high, either, it means you're slower to put them down.
"Do they have volcanoes in the Philippines?" DEAR GOD - *2020 edit:* I was like 15/16 when I wrote this comment...3 years later and y’all are STILL misunderstanding it 😭 I was born and raised in the Philippines. Bikolano ako. I KNOW about Mayon and all our other volcanoes. I was making fun of the person in the video for questioning if we had volcanoes. Chill lang kayo, guys. Mag V-Fresh muna kayo.
they should try that folk dance (i forgot the name) where they jump from one stacked wooden bench to another, or the one where you balance 6 pots on your head. Philippines have the scariest folk dances lol
Sayaw sa bangko, since it literally means "dancing on a bench" and the dance with candles is called Pandango sa Ilaw which is taken from the original Spanish version "Fandango" due to Spansh colonization for 300 years
Philippine dances are freaking amazing. Dances like this, the Tinikling, Sayaw sa Bangko, Palayok dance and Maglalatik are very hard to do, that, a dancer needs to have balance, agility, strength..anything an acrobat posses to accomplish them.
La jota Cagayana, Isabela and Quirino requires a lot of fast-paced intricate movements as well. Like you really have to coordinate your feet and arms and your partner all at once 😫
Haushinka Esquila binasuan is not that hard, me and my friends are a bunch of 12 year olds and we had to perform it to everyone, well i guess it is hard if you didn't practice even just a bit
Which Filipino dances to try next? - "Singkil". 4 instead of 2 bamboos. More complicated rhythm. - Sayaw sa bangko. Literally dancing on top of chairs stacked on top of each other,. Said chairs look like hurdles. - Pandanggo sa ilaw. balancing 3 glasses with candles inside them. Placed 1 on each hand, 1 on top of your head. - Binasuan. Same concept as ^ but with water inside the glasses instead of candles. - Ragragsakan. Balancing baskets on your head. - Bao. Balancing a clay pot on your head. Have fun, Buzzfeed! :D *I realized just now that we Filipinos have a tradition of showing off dancing prowess hahahahaha
I'm a Filipino who doesn't live in a large enough community to be able to practice tinikiling and it makes me really sad. Also they should try the candle dance next.
"Do they have volcanoes in the Philippines?" Me from the Philippines: Literally the whole country was formed due to volcanic erruptions. On top of that the country is sitting on the Pacific ring of fire.
Watch the 1955 Coca Cola infomercial about Coca Cola in the Philippines. They open the show with tinikling dancing. Search for : "Pearl of the Orient (1955) - Astonishing film on Coca-Cola and the Philippines"
In my school we did this as part of our project. The hard part was when we finally knew how the technique we had to dance in a blind fold without shoes. It hurts but luckily we pulled through
I used to be a part of my high school's Filipiniana Dance Troupe (the dance troupe in school who does Folk Dance like Tinikling). We trained so hard for this and on the day of our performance I got injured bcos the person holding the bamboo thought it was funny to play it while we were training. I had a super bad sprain after it. I didn't get to perform on the presentation itself. Hahaha! Felt like I needed to share this story but good for you guys!!!! More videos like this pls.
this reminds me of when was younger and watching all the older kids do the tinikling while i was doing the bulaklakan and wanting to grow up quicker so i could do it too i did grow up and was able to do it but at what cost
***** I'm not objectifying him, he has an adorable and loving personality, and many would agree he's incredibly cute. I know he's a person, I adore him as a person, not as an object.
I love how people complain about how dangerous tinikling is but in all truth it is a lot of fun. I just did a performance yesterday for school and I was the only white girl in the club lol!
This is not difficult, though it looks as it is hard to do it really isn't. I'm 12 and I've done it blindfolded, though it does get a bit challenging when a partner is thrown in along with position changes and partner interaction is added into the mix
I'm supposed to do this along with the candle dance for my cousin's debut and I'm pretty stumped because these are very hard to learn in a matter of 4 months considering that I can't dance at all.
+Nathalea Dugaduga I'm sorry but I haven't seen your country's name as much as I've seen the Philippines in Buzzfeed's recent (and past) videos. I seriously don't want to argue with you. let's just enjoy the video (or in your case, hate it, or whatever) :)
There are different patterns in this dance and if haven't noticed yet, there is actually 3 seconds before the bamboo clappers close the gap ( I am Filipino and Last year we had to perform tinkling just to pass my class in physical Ed)
Awesome job guys! I have always wanted to dance traditional dances like Tinikling as a Filipino, but our school sucked with favoritism... so they never picked me, and I never got the chance to...
Hey i love it! Trying out other cultures! I am a Filipino and I am happy about how buzzfeed is trying to reach out to different cultures, not just the Philippine culture but other cultures as well. :)
Everytime i do that with my friends since were filipinas we usually trip and mess up because skmetimes the one who handles the bamboos are not synchronized
I learned it when I was a teenager living in the Philippines. I'm probably too old to dance it any more, but I will always think the Tinikling is the happiest music in the world.
1:52 Simple you gotta memorize the bamboo's pattern and where they're placed and how fast they are and how high you gotta jump and you should be able to avoid it blindfolded...| Now do it faster
i’m currently doing tinikling for a school dance, it was super scary at first but you get the rhythm after doing it once or twice. it’s pretty easy, actually:)
I remember when I used to do tinikling in my school and it's just the hardest thing you could ever do but after moments of practice you actually get the beat. It's not that hard... unless you're blindfolded.
I remember dancing this in high school with a much complicated and choreographed steps. Also keeping your head up is a must. You can’t look down and just trust the beat. We also did sayaw sa banko, ragragsakan and pandanggo sa Ilaw but it’s almost impossible for us to balance the glass since we’re only grade schoolers so we had to glue it on a card board and Bobby pin it on top of our heads lol
If you have rhythm, you can do this! Even when young! My dance group and I back in my youth, won first place in the state of California doing the Tinikling! Its fun! Give it a try!

plus when there was like four or more bamboos at once.
i experienced the same and the costume was super hot to wear
And with four4 bamboo sticks
Adiynchti
Cariñosa is easier compared to tinikling though
ohhh the banga
"tinikling? sounds like tickling *laughs*"
oh believe me, it does NOT feel like tickling
t a d a n e More like Ankle and Toe pains
LOL
t a d a n e why do u have to make fun of ur traditional songs and dances.. hay Naku.
I don't know if you understand the comment itself or...
t a d a n e its a traditional filipino dance

Good tips 👍
also!! don't jump so high! the bamboo sticks move sideways, not upwards. you get tired sooner if you're leaping a foot in the air to avoid the bamboo sticks. just do a lil hop. don't raise your feet too high, either, it means you're slower to put them down.
Also just listen to the clapping of the bamboo. I think it's the most important thing if you're scared of getting hurt. Get used to the beat.
@@Phin_Again Yeah...i never use the heel of my foot..just the front so i can hop easily and quick
What's worse is when you're clapping the bamboo poles, and a dancer steps on the pole and the pole crushes your finger. >:|
i feel you, one time my pinkie got badly bruised because the dancer stepped on the bamboo.
yeah, why didn't they put a block of wood under the poles!
Rachel Dato
2:09
Would make the poles too high for beginners.
yes! that has happened!! or when you step on the bamboo and the pole gets crushed then you lose all balance.. tragic! lol

Hi po
Heyyyyyyyyyyyy
'Di naman mahirap mag tinikling sundan lang yung beat.
they should try that folk dance (i forgot the name) where they jump from one stacked wooden bench to another, or the one where you balance 6 pots on your head. Philippines have the scariest folk dances lol
Sayaw sa bangko and Pattong.
Don’t forget the candle dance
Pandanggo sa Ilaw. haha.
Omfg it does have the scariest folk dances. I can only do the Cariñosa lmao
Sayaw sa bangko, since it literally means "dancing on a bench" and the dance with candles is called Pandango sa Ilaw which is taken from the original Spanish version "Fandango" due to Spansh colonization for 300 years
I nearly broke my ankle 5 times when I was performing as a child 😂
YES
me too
I feel you...
Me too
But it's so cool! are you better at it now ? I'd love to give it a try , probably break all my bones but I'd love to try .
Fun Fact: Filipinos made the running man challenge by accident (I think you know how by watching this vid xD)
Omg XD I see it 😂😂😂
ohhh now that I think about it... yeah.
Really?!? I'm Filipino and I never knew XD
+SamanthaJaySketch is that sarcasm?
+Apple White no......
Philippine dances are freaking amazing. Dances like this, the Tinikling, Sayaw sa Bangko, Palayok dance and Maglalatik are very hard to do, that, a dancer needs to have balance, agility, strength..anything an acrobat posses to accomplish them.
+nOnOy borbun Even the Pandanggo sa ilaw.. Balancing a candle in the head is hard.
Do not forget the invigorating and skillful Sakuting dance.
Rembrandt Van Gogh ragragsakan and binasuan is the hardest of all folk dances😂
La jota Cagayana, Isabela and Quirino requires a lot of fast-paced intricate movements as well. Like you really have to coordinate your feet and arms and your partner all at once 😫
Haushinka Esquila binasuan is not that hard, me and my friends are a bunch of 12 year olds and we had to perform it to everyone, well i guess it is hard if you didn't practice even just a bit
"How hard can it be?"
*Flashbacks of me getting my foot injured *
EhehehehAhAHAHAHAHAHA
Me when we incorporated blindfolds to our faster choreography
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Which Filipino dances to try next?
- "Singkil". 4 instead of 2 bamboos. More complicated rhythm.
- Sayaw sa bangko. Literally dancing on top of chairs stacked on top of each other,. Said chairs look like hurdles.
- Pandanggo sa ilaw. balancing 3 glasses with candles inside them. Placed 1 on each hand, 1 on top of your head.
- Binasuan. Same concept as ^ but with water inside the glasses instead of candles.
- Ragragsakan. Balancing baskets on your head.
- Bao. Balancing a clay pot on your head.
Have fun, Buzzfeed! :D
*I realized just now that we Filipinos have a tradition of showing off dancing prowess hahahahaha
Pandanggo sa ilaw is really hard i think than tinikling. Balancing the glass with candles while dancing o my goodness its so damn hard lol
I'm a Filipino who doesn't live in a large enough community to be able to practice tinikiling and it makes me really sad. Also they should try the candle dance next.
*tinikling.
+MsNj3000 you mean pandanggo sa ilaw?
+Idel Aranilla yes. Yes I do.
They should react to Filipinos extremely doing it. 👍👍👍
WITH POTS BALANCING ON THE HEADS OMG I ALWAYS WATCH THE ONES IN TIENDESITAS BEFORE AND IT WAS SO AMAZING
WITH POTS BALANCING ON THE HEADS OMG I ALWAYS WATCH THE ONES IN TIENDESITAS BEFORE AND IT WAS SO AMAZING
Yeah!
They should
@@rednocksofficial don’t forget on top of a bench ☺️
and this is why filipinos are amazing dancers
MJ7615 awwww...thats sweet...😄😄😄 (im a filipino)
MJ7615 I'm a Filipino and I'm a HORRIBLE dancer
Tricia Calilung same
me : _i cant dance-_
How sweet
Tinikling is so easy. Well I guess for Filipinos like me...
True..
wait i saw u at princess sakura serenity's live video on her channel when the both of us were chatting!
LittleRedWolfyGaming di ko pa nga natatry yung tinikling eh...
Sobrang dali kaya HAHAHA
LittleRedWolfyGaming we di nga! hahaha
I lost it at 1:42. Pro tip: Wear eyeglasses over your blindfolds.
"Do they have volcanoes in the Philippines?"
Me from the Philippines: Literally the whole country was formed due to volcanic erruptions. On top of that the country is sitting on the Pacific ring of fire.
This was more like *"Americans Try Not To Get Hurt"* I feel. Especially the guy trying to avoid *Steven's* d*ck XD
Ikr!😂😂😂😂
+Sandy Robles I feel it made it more funny though I must admit XD
Aww I didn't beat u :ccccccc
Natalia Grace Awww I'm sure you will next time ^__^
I think the only one that got hurt was the girl moving the Bambu at the end, her fingers, also hi
it hurts more holding the bamboo.
Yeah! Sometimes your hand can get "sandwiched"
The ones I used for dance had some sticker-like thing on it and it was SO STICKY!!!
TRUE
Especially when the dancers made a mistake
I even with handles, it is painful because of moving them sometimes
Every bad thing they say: I'm offended.
same
butthurt much lol
I feel you.
ikr!! lol

Wasn't that a joke on Fuller House?
+Lucia Jimenez yap but just for the people who cant watch fuller house 😊
Try pandango sa ilaw! I'm twelve years old but I learned to dance it, although it's really hard to balance the candle on you head...😅
Nice! When I was your age I did tinikling and the females did pandango sa ilaw at my school in the US (:
i had to do pandango sa ilaw when i was three years old woops
at least the candles werent lit
I learned that when i was 8-9 one of our classmates got burned
Bobo
Gago
I always look forward to Zach in videos 😂
Zach without his glasses is bae AF.
Watch the 1955 Coca Cola infomercial about Coca Cola in the Philippines. They open the show with tinikling dancing. Search for :

interesting
AMERICANS TRY FILIPINO STREET GAMES 🙌
👆MAKE IT HAPPEN 🙏
Yes make this happen. 🙏
Oh my god!!!!!! They should do Piko, Agawan Base, Chinese Garter...omg!!!
+Pastel Pandas yesssss
I love all the different cultural videos!
If you guys think Tinikling is hard, try to dance Singkil. It's Tinikling but with four bamboo sticks lol
BUZZFEED Let them do Singkil its like tinikling but uses four bambois
bamboos*
that one is too hard ahahha
oh yes! we did that for our "Buwan ng Wika" in High School :D
There's also Cariñosa and Pandango sa ilaw. ☺️
There's also Sayaw sa Bangko (if I'm not mistaken) ☺️
I remember doing this in grade school in the Midwest.
+Trelauni Productions Yeah me too, we had to do a turn while dancing and everything, it was painful
Same, Missouri grade schools do this.
I love this style of dancing! We learned how to do this at my after-school program in elementary school! It's so fun!
Yey for Filipino segments! ❤️💯
Am I the only one who thought at least Zach had it down? Props to you man! 1:54
In my school we did this as part of our project. The hard part was when we finally knew how the technique we had to dance in a blind fold without shoes. It hurts but luckily we pulled through
Zach killed it when he did it blindfolded
Because the clapping is slow, its easy but try faster lol
They should try doing Filipino line dancing😂 So simple yet so much fun
I used to be a part of my high school's Filipiniana Dance Troupe (the dance troupe in school who does Folk Dance like Tinikling). We trained so hard for this and on the day of our performance I got injured bcos the person holding the bamboo thought it was funny to play it while we were training. I had a super bad sprain after it. I didn't get to perform on the presentation itself. Hahaha! Felt like I needed to share this story but good for you guys!!!! More videos like this pls.
They should try Singkil next time. :) It's gonna be more exciting.
+Ilse Adelinde haha yeah I know right, I also want to try that one...
The aftermath when buzzfeed completely ran out of ideas...
Ikr
+silvik dzhugaryan this was an idea though. This comment is getting old..............
What wrong with Filipino stuff there are a lot of Filipinos in buzzfeed so why not
??? What is wrong with this video?
buzzfeed showing appreciation for other cultures IS NOT running out of ideas
this reminds me of when was younger and watching all the older kids do the tinikling while i was doing the bulaklakan and wanting to grow up quicker so i could do it too
i did grow up and was able to do it but at what cost
Zach is even cuter without glasses. I didn't know it was possible to be that cute!!! :)
***** I'm not objectifying him, he has an adorable and loving personality, and many would agree he's incredibly cute. I know he's a person, I adore him as a person, not as an object.
+zerobleed I don't think you understand objectification
I love how people complain about how dangerous tinikling is but in all truth it is a lot of fun. I just did a performance yesterday for school and I was the only white girl in the club lol!
Ang galing niyong mga americans mag gawa ng kultura namin!! (Y'all americans are great at expressing our culture!!)
Let them try FILIPINO STREET GAMES!!!!
i would love that
cool to see buzzfeed show some filipino culture woOO
We have the same or you can say similar dance in Sabah, Malaysia. It's known as Magunatip. While in Indonesia, they called it as Tari Rangkuk Alu.
When you're Filipino but you don't know tinikling...
I feel you
Kpop Industry that's just sad.
Ify😂😭
Boi
Wtf? Seriously? That's our freaking national dance!!!
I’m Filipina but I’ve never tried Tinikling because when my older sister was 10 she did this and she did amazing but she was crying while performing🤣😂
I'm a Filipino and I love buzzfeed
We studied this last year in pe. Yeah,it really is fun
I've done this before...
Bad memories, and many ankle scrapes and bruises. And we only did the second one up from this, which is super basic...
It warms my heart so much to see Zach do this! I am Pinoy AF!
They showed us this dance in PE when we where in middle school
Zach is getting cuter i swear 😍😍
"how hard can it be" - me throughout the whole school year and somehow got it down two days before luau
Anyone else have two left feet?
No... No we don't
😐😐
-whispers- you won't be famous
What...
dude what?
The only dance that can force anyone to dance to the beat.
We danced to this for our finals in my PE. I was so happy I passed!
I wanna see the rest of the try guys dance to Tinikling!
I think I remember this from Malcolm in the middle
Yeeeees
I am a filipino and I can not do that
Same
Me too
+Jumps 123 ako din
+Arlene Capio My maid was watching this with me and they said when they were 5-7 they used to do it with A FREAKING GLASS JAR ON THEIR HEAD
+Arlene Capio yeah me too
This is not difficult, though it looks as it is hard to do it really isn't. I'm 12 and I've done it blindfolded, though it does get a bit challenging when a partner is thrown in along with position changes and partner interaction is added into the mix
Wow I'm early, I'll tell a joke.
Donald Trump for the win.

Why does Buzzfeed always have Filipino videos?
I'm Filipino but out of all the races, they chose us.
Why do you make it sound like a bad thing? You should be proud
Ikr 😂 But I love it :3
+parad0x M Lol ikr
I didn't mean it as a bad thing. I was just curious. (I probably do have tunnel vision 🙃)
Btw I am proud of my race and the amazing food. 🇵🇭
Where the Filipino #sqaud at?
@Bagonoc Ronald agree
im so fucken.. ecstatic that theres so much filipino content on buzzfeed ????? thank you for satisfying my little cebuano heart
THERES A TINIKLING CLUB AT MY SCHOOL OMFG
I'm Filipino and I can't dance tinikling I'm afraid to broke my ankle
I'm supposed to do this along with the candle dance for my cousin's debut and I'm pretty stumped because these are very hard to learn in a matter of 4 months considering that I can't dance at all.
DK Skyheart naw mate you can do this!! But for the candle dance- are you gonna have the one on your head? Just be careful :))
what's with Buzzfeed and their addiction with Philippine Culture? 😂 but we're flattered anyways.
I think this is a good idea. Thanks to buzzfeed, countries like the U.S can discover and appreciate different cultures
+Ar Mance Exactly
+Nathalea Dugaduga I'm sorry but I haven't seen your country's name as much as I've seen the Philippines in Buzzfeed's recent (and past) videos.
I seriously don't want to argue with you. let's just enjoy the video (or in your case, hate it, or whatever) :)
Lol pinoy ako day.Meron lang ako dito sa Dubai lol lol lol
Bisaya ako.Pero parang sobra na naman yang 'addiction' na sinasabi mo.
that girl on the left is pretty
OG Filipinos seeing them do tinikling with only 2 bamboo poles: those are rookie numbers, you gotta pump those numbers up
DON'T keep this comment at an even number of likes
Sara and Zack would make a cute couple, but she's dating Shane
It's really nice seeing americans trying our culture, makes it more better!
What's buzzfeed's obsession with the Philippines lately?
+Lily Lulu cause it's respectful
Looks like Chinese jump rope. So cool
Filipino. It even says in the title.
+shevonnie salmon thats exactly what i was thing
shevonnie salmon
It's more painful we had to this in our intramurals
It’s not Chinese assholes, it’s a combination of Hispanic and Native traditions.
Bakit bigla gumalit ang mga pinoy dito? Sinabi lang nya ang opinyon nya
There are different patterns in this dance and if haven't noticed yet, there is actually 3 seconds before the bamboo clappers close the gap ( I am Filipino and Last year we had to perform tinkling just to pass my class in physical Ed)
How is Zach THAT hot tho?
He isn't.
Awesome job guys! I have always wanted to dance traditional dances like Tinikling as a Filipino, but our school sucked with favoritism... so they never picked me, and I never got the chance to...
Dude! I remember being taught tininkiling in the fourth grade for a district music festival. It's pretty fun once you find the rhythm.
Hey i love it! Trying out other cultures! I am a Filipino and I am happy about how buzzfeed is trying to reach out to different cultures, not just the Philippine culture but other cultures as well. :)
Everytime i do that with my friends since were filipinas we usually trip and mess up because skmetimes the one who handles the bamboos are not synchronized
I learned it when I was a teenager living in the Philippines. I'm probably too old to dance it any more, but I will always think the Tinikling is the happiest music in the world.
1:52
Simple you gotta memorize the bamboo's pattern and where they're placed and how fast they are and how high you gotta jump and you should be able to avoid it blindfolded...|
Now do it faster
i’m currently doing tinikling for a school dance, it was super scary at first but you get the rhythm after doing it once or twice. it’s pretty easy, actually:)
I remember when I used to do tinikling in my school and it's just the hardest thing you could ever do but after moments of practice you actually get the beat. It's not that hard... unless you're blindfolded.
I remember dancing this in high school with a much complicated and choreographed steps. Also keeping your head up is a must. You can’t look down and just trust the beat. We also did sayaw sa banko, ragragsakan and pandanggo sa Ilaw but it’s almost impossible for us to balance the glass since we’re only grade schoolers so we had to glue it on a card board and Bobby pin it on top of our heads lol
I remember having so much fun! I'm so glad that people actually do things that we do. I haven't seen much people do what us, filipinos do.
If you have rhythm, you can do this! Even when young! My dance group and I back in my youth, won first place in the state of California doing the Tinikling! Its fun! Give it a try!
As a filipino, it really makes me happy seeing a Philippines related Buzzfeed video. Try maglalatik dance or sayaw sa bangko.
