Davao City is more than just the land of Durians and the King of Festival. Dabawenyos are people of diverse culture and talent. Davao City is a home to many artists, and dance is one of the most celebrated artistry in the City. Dance is quite a diverse form of art. Just like any other form of art, it tells stories such as history, culture and traditions, people, folklore, life, and dance, itself through harmonized body movements. It has been that way since before civilization began. Our ancestors dance even in their rituals such as healing, weddings, and good harvest just like the Kadayawan Festival. This has been kept alive until now through the festive pieces showcased during the celebration of this festival, and other thematic dance competitions all over the city. Davao’s share of local artists from cultural to contemporary to modern has been growing every day as time went by, and Dabawenyos are becoming more interested in dance than anyone ever did before.
