    Pandanggo Oasiwas

    The Pantomina Oasiwas is similar to the Light, and is usually performed by fishermen to celebrate a
    good catch. In this version, the lamps are placed in cloths or nets and swung around while the dancers
    nagbibilog and sway.

    Pandanggo or Pandanggo sa ilaw literally means the ‘Fandango with the Light’ in English language. And
    yes from the name itself, this dance is that dance that involved the manipulation of the lights. This dance
    is from the Lubang Island, Mindoro. The term ‘pandanggo’ which means ‘fandanggo’ in the Spanish
    language is actually dance that is characterized by marking time with the use of clack of castanets, the
    snapping of the fingers and the stomping of the feet in the triple-time rhythm. The person that performs
    this graceful dance is often called as the ‘pandanggera’. The ‘pandanggera’ then dances holding three oil
    lamps which are called as the ‘tinghoy’

    Pandango Oasiwas is a Spanish Fandango dance with its origins coming from the fishing town of
    Lingayen in Pangasinan. Following their good catch, the fishermen will usually celebrate by drinking wine
    and dancing, and by swinging and circling with the lighted lamps on the hands of the dancers. The
    graceful & lively moves of the dancers gave the name ‘Oasiwas‘ which in the local dialect is known as
    ‘swinging‘.
    Oasiwas is a traditional folk dance from the Philippines, specifically from the province of Pangasinan. It is
    usually performed during celebrations and special occasions, such as weddings and festivals.

    The Oasiwas dance is typically performed by couples, with the dancers wearing traditional Filipino attire.
    The dance starts with the male dancer offering his hand to the female dancer, and then the two begin to
    move in graceful, flowing steps. The dance is characterized by its slow, elegant movements, which are
    meant to convey the grace and beauty of the dancers.

    In terms of literature, there are several sources that describe the Oasiwas dance and its significance in
    Philippine culture. One such source is the book "Philippine Folk Dances and Games" by Francisca Reyes
    Aquino, which includes a detailed description of the dance steps and the accompanying music.

    Another source is the article "The Oasiwas Dance of Pangasinan" by Lilia D. del Carmen, which provides
    a historical and cultural context for the dance. The article describes how the Oasiwas dance has evolved
    over time, and how it has been influenced by both indigenous and colonial cultures.

    Overall, the Oasiwas dance is an important part of Philippine culture and has been passed down through
    generations as a way of preserving tradition and celebrating community.
