The traditional dance of the country is derived from a unique mix of Spanish, Malay and Muslim influences. Tinikling (bamboo or heron dance) and pandanggo sa ilaw ('dance of lights') are among some of the most beautiful Malay dances while singkil (court dance) is the most popular Filipino-Muslim dance. The Spanish dances such as habanera, jota and paypay (the fan dance) can be seen performed in the Philippine variations. Many good old folk dances, especially the national dance named tinikling have become a hit with tourists.
Bayanihan Dance Company excels in cultural dance while the country's leading Ballet company is Ballet Philippines based at the Cultural Center of the Philippines.
