Value and Importance of Philippine Folk dance

Folk arts, specifically folk music and dance, embody fundamental values of great
worth to our culture, our nation, and our children. There is no better way to share time
together as families and friends. Our job is to preserve the joyful tunes we've inherited
from our ancestors and to pass them on to others. A group called Colerain Connection is
quite dedicated to the dissemination and preservation of traditional folk arts. It is very
important to see musical artists performing on instruments they have hand crafted, or
playing vibrant melodies from their grandfather's fiddle. This group is all about
preserving history and tradition.
