Regatones Folk Dance | Panugday Folk Dance Competition 2026

The Regatones is a spirited occupational folk dance from Cadiz City, Negros Occidental. It celebrates the hustle and grit of the Visayan fishing industry, specifically the traveling fish vendors who would walk miles to bring the morning catch to the market. ​The Highlights ​The Theme: It’s a rhythmic "day-in-the-life" performance. Dancers act out the anticipation of waiting for fishing boats (bancas) and the high-energy scramble to grab the best fish once they arrive. ​The "Tuwangan" Skill: The centerpiece of the dance involves the Tuwang-tuwangan—a bamboo pole balanced across the shoulders with baskets (Paraka) hanging at each end. Dancers show off their balance and coordination by spinning and maneuvering these poles while keeping a steady beat. ​The Vibe: It’s playful, competitive, and loud. It’s meant to mimic the social banter and teasing between the vendors and buyers on the shore.
