In this active workshop, students will learn about the Philippines as they do a musical warm up, sing, and learn a traditional folk dance. Students will depict fireflies found in the Philippines while dancing “Alitaptap” (Firefly). The dance also refers to the Filipino legend of the creation of fireflies. Upon request, this presentation will include instruction in paper folding as well. This workshop can be easily modified for length and student population.
