EN: a traditional Philippine folk dance
The national dance that's also a high-stakes ankle workout. It's that dance with the bamboo poles that makes you hold your breath every time you see it, hoping nobody's feet get caught. It mimics the 'tikling' bird avoiding traps, which is basically what you're doing with the clacking bamboo. One wrong step and *ouch*.
Named after the 'tikling' bird. The '-in-' infix signifies 'to be like' or 'in the manner of'.
A staple performance in Filipino cultural shows and school foundation days.
