1. The Itik-Itik (ct. 3).
This is done with one foot leading,
The best description of the Itik-Itik is that
the steps mimic the way a duck walks, as
well as the way it splashes water on its back
to attract a mate. According to popular
tradition, the dance was created by a lady
named Kanang who choreographed the steps
while dancing at a baptismal party. The
other guests copied her movements, and
everyone liked the dance so much that it has
been passed along ever since.

such as weddings.
