So, our topic for today is about the Cariñosa dance. Cariñosa dance is a courtship dance that portrays acts of flirtation between a man and a woman. The dancers perform steps resembling hid-and-seek movements. Cariñosa means the loving or affectionate one.

Cariñosa is a Philippine folk dance of Hispanic origin from the Maria Clara suite of Philippine folk dances, where the fan or handkerchief plays an instrumental role as it places the couple in a romance scenario.
