[edit] Tinikling Song

When I lived in the Philippines back in the 1970's, I remember my teacher in Philippine Culture class telling the class of a traditional folk song that was part of the Tinikling's background. Except for one word, I'm certain it went as follows:

Strike the bamboo poles and lets dance the Tinikling
Let me hold your hand, Dear, as we dance together
Hop in with your left foot then hop in with your right
Everyone's watching you dance the Tinikling
With your every step I can feel that I love you
You're a special (?) flame burning deep within me
Life is like a dream when we dance the Tinikling
You will break my heart if you leave me my Darling

Should this be added to the article?

[edit] Cariñosa merger

From what I looked up so far... Cariñosa isn't tinkling. Cariñosa involves fans and the dance is performed at a slower pace. — 6etonyourfeet\t\c 01:09, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Carnosa and tinikling are two very different things. It makes no more sense to merge them, than it would to merge the articles on tractor-trailers and motorcycles. Izuko 15:09, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article deserves its own page

I added an image, a painting by Fernando Amorsolo depicting Tinikling dancers. Tinikling is entirely different from Carinosa. It deserves its own page. I suggest that this article not be merged with the Carinosa page. Dragonbite 16:49, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

In addition, Carinosa, the dance, should also have its own page, but that one needs expansion. Dragonbite 16:53, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] carinosa: a national dance.....

Carinosa is the national of the Philippines. Even though tinikling is much more popular than carinosa, it is still regarded as the national dance of the Republic of the Philippines.I am discussing this with you all because i am a Filipino. Stevenphil --Stevenphil 22:19, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
