History of the pantomina dance?
The pantomina dance was originated from imitating the courtship of doves. This dance is done every third week of October at the Sorsogon's Kasanggayahan Festival and mainly consists of elderly people that are in colorful costumes.
The Tinikling dance is one of the most popular and well-known of traditional Philippine dances. It is pre-Spanish and involves two people beating, tapping, and sliding bamboo poles on the ground and against each other in coordination with one or more dancers who step over and in between the poles in a dance. It's name is a reference to tinkling birds. The dance originated in Leyte among the Visayan islands in the central Philippines as an imitation of the tinkling bird dodging bamboo traps set by rice farmers. It imitates the movement of the tinkling birds as they walk between grass stems, run over tree branches, or dodge bamboo traps set by rice farmers. Dancers imitate the tinkling bird's legendary grace and speed by skillfully maneuvering between large bamboo poles.
According to legend, the Tinkling dance originated during the time when the Spaniards took over the Philippines. Natives worked on large plantations under the control of the King of Spain. Those who didn't work productively were punished by standing between two bamboo poles.
Females wear a dress called balintawak or patadyong and males wear a uniform called barong tagalog. The balintawak dress is colorful and has wide arched sleeves. The patadyong dress is a pineapple fiber blouse with a checkered skirt.
The barong tagalog uniform is usually lightweight long sleeved shirt worn with red trousers. While performing, no shoes are worn.
Today Tinikling is taught throughout the United States. In grades K-12 they use this type of folk dance as an aerobic exercise for physical education classes to help expand physical movements such as hand coordination, foot speed, and also their rhythm.

Difference between rnb and hip hop?
hip is fast and cool and rnb is slow fast and sexual Hip hop is more energized than rnb, though rnb is not exactly sexual, but is more dramatic and romantic. Hip hop relies more on the beat, and more of a care free attitude, whereas rnb is more classical, though sometimes rnb blends into hip hop, and vice versa.
I know there is controversy about whether dance is a sport at all. But there are some arguments that can be made to say that tap dancing can most definitely be considered a sport. It's athletic. If you pick your feet up and use your whole body you should be breathing fairly hard by the end of the routine. More athletic than GOLF which is considered a sport. This alone doesn't make it a sport for most people. All sports are competing against another person or group. Ever go to a dance competition? It's highly competitive. There's music... so what? Gymnasts have music in their meets for floor work and beam and gymnastics is a sport. Also the mental capacity needed for a tap dancer is quite extreme to learn all of those rhythms and the order of all the steps. Tap dancing is a sport:
1. Athletic
2. Dance Competitions
3. Music is okay to use in a sport
4. Mental sport as well, common sense.
What are the steps to the Japanese coal miners dance?
There are 2 that I know of and the steps are similar. Tanko Bushi and Kawachi Ondo.
Tanko Bushi
Lift R ft up below L knee then touch R toe to floor.
At the same time pretend you are holding a spade and dig with both hands towards the floor.
Lift R ft again, but this time place full weight on R ft as you dig
with hands again towards the floor. (Basically taking a step forward)
Repeat 1 & 2 but to the left and with L ft.
Touch R toe to floor and throw hands over R shoulder and take a step with your R ft. (As if throwing the coal behind you.)
Touch L ft to floor and throw hands over L shoulder and take a step with your L ft.
Now touch R toe back and then step on it as you place L hand, palm out, over head as if shading eyes, R hand is back. Then step with full weight on R ft.
Now step back on L toe, then step with full weight on L ft as R hand shades eyes and L hand goes back.
Push with both hands from shoulder out, palm out as if pushing coal cart forward and at same time step forward on R ft.
Then push again and step forward on L ft.
Step forward on R ft and bring both hands downwards from in front of body and to the sides.
Step forward on L ft raising hands and then bring R ft down beside left and clap own hands once.
Then do two-quick and one slow clap.
(The clapping rhythm is slow--quick, quick--slow.)
Also it helps to know that you always begin the dance on the vocal.
NOTE:
Cue the above as follows:
Dig and Dig
and dig and dig
and throw and throw
and shade and shade
and push and push
and down up clap, clap, clap, clap.
In Kawachi Ondo, the second group of steps (throwing the coal) is replaced by a twisting motion as if tieing a headband. First on the right then on the left.
