EN: a traditional Filipino courtship dance
The original "budots dance," but with more class and a barong. It's a folk dance, especially popular in Samar and Leyte, that mimics a rooster and hen during courtship. The best part is when people shower the dancers with money—it's like a live-action GoFundMe page set to festive music.
From Spanish "curacha" (cockroach), though the dance movements are likened to fowls, not insects. The name's origin is debated.
Primarily known in the Eastern Visayas region. It's a highlight of weddings, fiestas, and other celebrations.
