Pandanggo folk dance is a traditional Philippine dance that has been passed down through generations. This dance is characterized by its lively and upbeat tempo and is often performed at festive occasions and celebrations. Not only is it a fun and entertaining form of cultural expression, but it also offers a wide range of health benefits.

Improves cardiovascular health: The constant movement and upbeat tempo of the dance can help to improve cardiovascular health by increasing blood flow and reducing the risk of heart disease.
Increases flexibility and balance: The dance requires a lot of movement, including twirling and stamping, which can help to improve flexibility and balance.
Enhances coordination and rhythm: Pandanggo is a dance that requires coordination of the whole body, including the arms, legs, and hips. It also requires a sense of rhythm and timing, which can improve hand-eye coordination and overall coordination.
Enhances mental well-being: Dancing in general is known to release endorphins, the hormone responsible for making us feel good. This can help to reduce stress, anxiety and depression.
Enhance social connections: Dancing with others is a fun and social activity that can help to build connections and relationships with others.
