Maglalatik

The Maglalatik (also known as Manlalatik or Magbabao) is a folk dance from the Philippines performed by male dancers.

The dancers dance by hitting one coconut shell with the other; sometimes the ones on the hands, the ones on the body, or the shells worn by another performer, all in time to a fast drumbeat.

[3] The dance is intended to impress the viewers with the great skill of the dancers.

In some "Filipino Martial Arts" (FMA) circles, it is noted that the Maglalatik "consists of a trapping and boxing method hidden in a dance."

The name of the dance means "latik-maker", from latik, a coconut product that is used in Filipino cooking.
