Pangalay (also known as Daling-Daling or Mengalai in Sabah) is the traditional "fingernail" dance of the Tausūg people of the Sulu Archipelago and eastern coast Bajau of Sabah

Pangalay performed at the 14th Annual Fil-Am Friendship Celebration at Serramonte Center in Daly City, California.
The dance has a similarity to classical Balinese and Thai dances,where it is also the most distinctively Asian of all the southern Philippine dances because dancers must have dexterity and flexibility of the shoulders, elbows, and wrists movements that strongly resemble those of "kontaw silat". The Pangalay is predominantly performed during weddings or other festive events. The male equivalent of the Pangalay is the Pangasik and features more martial movements, while a pangalay that features both a male and female dancer is called Pangiluk.
