Habanera Botoleña - Philippine Folkdance

Habanera Botolena is a dance that combines Filipino and Spanish techniques and is commonly performed at weddings. The participants are usually the wedding party, consisting of the bride, groom, groomsmen, and bridesmaids. The dance is performed in pairs, but the pairs move in unison as a collective group. Common movements include quick-paced footwork, hops, glides, and slides. Dances typically keep their arms extended while maintaining delicate postures with their hands, which is intended to symbolize love and happiness toward their partner. Participants perform the majority of the dance in an upright posture and maintain consistent eye contact. The accompanying music has an upbeat tempo. Female dancers wear long gowns and males wear long-sleeve shirts and full-length trousers.
