If you are a foreigner and you are visiting your wifes family in the Visayas during fiesta or some other similar occasion you may well find yourself doing this dance publicly....it happened to me more than once. fortification with San Miguel is a must ~ o
Nice and very simple dance and not complicated to learn.I remember the name kuratsa .a well known dance by the samarenio from Samar when I joined the voluntary work.
The music used to accompany the kuratsa determines whether it is mayor or a menor. Those played in a 'minor key' are the menor and the ones in 'major keys' are the mayor. It so happened the many versions of the Kuratsa Menor are a little slower than the mayor.
There are more versions of the Kuratsa in Panay than in Leyte. However, the Samar-Leyte region is the "home " of the Kuratsa according to Ramon Obusan. Beautiful Panay Kuratsa are the K. Zarraga, K. Hamtic, K. Culasi and K. Pandan.
It is also entitled Kuratsa. Modern recordings of this version were sung by famous Waray singer Joseph Uy. That's the version used in many dance events in Samar and Leyte.
kitdimamaliw15: We see the performers just perfectly danced the KURATSA (of Spanish influence & Visayan Origin-no matter where?). We love watching this whenever. (and of the negative-commentators, let's see "al2viento"s video of same..so we know what he's talking about..we'll wait..)
I know that group of MR JESS DE PAZ. Their genre is NOT folk dance. BUT 'dance theater'. It is their choice to make folk-dance based choreo. Have you noticed their pointees and other ballet styles?
I don't think the folk's insistence is meant to make you look IDIOT. The prominent ones are first accorded with the dance because only ONE couple can dance the Kuratsa because it is of the amenudo-type of dance. Commoners are relegated to dancing the Jota or the balse. Do you still remember the Kuradang song? There is is this beautiful line accorded to visitors: "...Ginhahangyo hini an ngatanan, LABI NA an balikbayan. Sayaw nga Kuradang sikat han mga tigurang."
Sige hala, upaya na la an imo baga pagsayaw. Maupay it pagsayaw nga sugad hit nakisas o sino napasikat! Agidaw, pati lugud ako nahihidlaw pagsayaw hini nga Kuratsa. Pag-andami baya iton.
The money bills you're referring to is of course the one called "gala". During weddings those bills are pasted securely into one long piece and is pinned or draped on the dancing bride an groom. That long piece of bills are called "isarablay" or "igpiringkit" in Eastern Samar.

I accidentally "removed" you good message about the 5 peso worth of ribbon for the balse. And you story about the Kuradang dance. Im sleepy. My apologies. Ay' pag-iisug dida.
That's one "out-of-the-box" performance. Pero, one thing is certain: Waray people dance it really as an extemporaneous "amenudo"; that, is "couple dance". Thus, only one pair really perform it in its original context. A recent version of the dance is "Kuratsa kanan Kadam-an" performed by many pairs simply as a "presentation".
The Galyo dance youare referring to must be the one from Pangasinan. The "motive",I should say,is lot similar. The music of Galyo is 2/4. Galyo is actually gallo is Spanish which means 'rooster' or 'cockerel '. There is another Layte dance called "Gallo de Jerez", which is a mazurka.
I noticed many of Philippine cultural dance is so much influenced by The Spanish. Is there any cultural dance before that era? I really like to watch ....thanks
The Sinakiki also came from Samar introduced to the Bicolanos. BTW,it is also called Sinisiki. The second dance you're referring to must be La Simpatica, not La Simplica.
Nice dances despite discarding an integral element in Filipino folk dances. Babies enjoy playing with their Moms the arimunding-munding hand-dance. It's so disgusting that a renowned dance group discarded the GRACEFUL ARIMUNDING-MUNDING HAND-DANCE and exchanged it with mere WAVING OR POINTING-UP HANDS (ugh!) which is NOT graceful at all. And what is additionally shocking is: other dance groups imitated it and similarly are now using either the waving hands or pointing-up hands for dancing. Can we use our brains when we make changes, instead of be like unthinking zombies? PLEASE, PLEASE BRING BACK the graceful arimunding-munding hand-dance because it is an INTEGRAL PART OF THE ORIGINAL FILIPINO FOLK DANCES, besides being much, much more graceful than mere pointing up or waving.
Filipinas are the most gracious, and beautiful girls in the world.
Maganda! I am practicing for my and wife's trip to Calawan-an Daram Samar for the Fiesta!

This is one thing that we should be proud of as a Filipino. Wala nang ibang ganyan sa Asya. Tayo lang.
