The Filipino traditional itik-itik dance is performed in a three quarters rhythm: 1 2 3 / 1 2 3. A dancer begins by stepping out with the heel of one foot while taking two small steps toward the starting foot. The footwork is very choppy and repetitive. Each step lies on a beat. The dancer must push out her hips opposite from her starting point on count 1 and bring it back to center for counts 2 and 3. The arms are extended with one arm above shoulder level and the other below shoulder level. The arms flap to shoulder level ticking on every count. There is an obvious tilt in the head towards one shoulder on count 1. The dancer can also sway a waltz step while extending her arms from side to side with fluttering fingers. Itik-itik is performed as an exciting imitation of ducklings.
step of itik-itik
Itik-itik is a mimetic folk dance in The Philippines. It originated in the province of Surigao in Mindanao. In Itik-itik (from the Tagalog word for "duck"), the dance steps imitate the movements of ducks among rice paddies and swamplands, such as wading, flying, and short, choppy steps. Itik-itik's current form originated in the Philippine towns of Carrascal, Cantilan, Lanuza, and Carmen, all in Surigao del Sur. Other versions of the dance do exist, although the Itik-itik Surigaonon remains the most pipular. These alternate versions are found in Visayas, Samar, Sibonga, Cebu, and Tibiao.

itik-itik anya?
Itik-itik - According to history of this dance, a young woman named Kanang (short for Cayetana) happened to be the best performer in the province of Surigao del Norte. At one baptismal reception, she was asked to dance the Sibay, and began improvising her steps in the middle of her performance imitating the movements of an "itik", a duck, as it walks with choppy steps and splashes water on its back while attracting its mate. Because of its unusual steps and fascinating interpretation, the audience began imitating her.
