MGA HAKBANG SA PAGSAYAW NG RIGODON

The steps of the Rigodon are meant to be performed gracefully and elegantly; participants should have excellent posture and complete their steps crisply and almost rigidly. In the Rigodon de Honor, couples usually stand in a square and each couple starts by facing the couple across from them. The couples move to the center of the square to bow and curtsy to the dancer of the opposite gender standing across from them intermittently throughout the dance. The couples elevate and join their hands, keeping their hands like this throughout the dance, with the exception of the times they are bowing or curtsying to the opposite couple. They then perform a series of quick jumps in place before couples on two opposite sides of the square formation come to the center of the square to meet each other, bowing and curtsying as described above.

Additional Rigodon Steps

Keeping in time with the music of the Rigodon (a quick-timed beat called a quadrille), dancers complete a series of turns, jumps, and "parade" gestures, in which the male shows off his female partner. The dance can last as long as ten minutes, with the steps described repeating over and over.
