    Binasuan

    Folk
    Dance

    Bayambang, Pangasinan
    BINASUAN

    – The word “binasuan” means “with the use of drinking glasses.”


    – The dancers balance glasses on their heads and in their hands as
    they move. The glasses are filled with rice wine, which makes any
    misstep a messy mistake. People dance binasuan at weddings and
    festivals.
    History/Origin

    – no historical evidence available related to the origin of this dance style called
    “Binasuan” in the Philippines.
    – However, it’s an integral part of the Filipino culture over the years.
    – used by people down the years to express their gratitude towards God.

    – Used in festivals and traditional celebrations, for blessings and


    prosperity.
    Costumes

    – The traditional “Balintawak” costume is used by the performers in this dance


    form.
    Features

    – Binasuan dancers are famous for their skill and grace,


    balancing three glasses of rice wine while turning, rolling
    and spinning to fast-paced music. Sometimes dancers
    introduce other elements, such as weights placed on their
    feet, to increase the dance's difficulty–and therefore the
    dancer's prestige.
    A group of dancers generally performs binasuan, moving in unison, but
    occasionally breaking into smaller groups and performing different
    choreography. For example, they can begin in a circle, then form two
    columns, which then bend into semicircles, and one follows the other to
    reform the circle. The music is in three-quarter time.
    Binasuan Cups
    – The “technique” at the beginning of a binasuan performance, one of the
    dancers may fill each individual cup with rice wine and pass them out to the
    other performers. The dancers can also come onstage with the cups already
    filled and balanced on their heads and hands.
    – To balance the cups, place one on the flattest part of your head, just behind the
    crown of your head. Now place another on one palm. You’ll need another
    person to place the last glass on your other palm. Keep your head level and
    high, and look straight ahead. Keep your palms facing up and slightly cupped, to
    hold your glasses in place.
    Dance Movement

    – Dance Movements In this dance, the dancer displays good balance,


    graceful movements, and unusual skill. She dances with three glasses
    half-full of water, one on her head, and one each held on the palms of
    her hands. She shows her skill in maneuvering the glasses,
    particularly when she executes continuous fast turns, sitting, and
    rolling on the floor without spilling the water or dropping the glasses.
