How do we investigate a dance beyond its movements? How do we document the knowledge of tradition bearers, examine historical evidence, and contribute to the safeguarding of Philippine dance heritage?

A Gentle Reminder to Our Folk Dance Community regarding the Practice of Ethical Attribution

As we continue to share, teach, document, perform, and promote our Philippine folk dances, may we also cultivate the habit of giving proper acknowledgment to the people and institutions behind the materials we use.

Whenever applicable, let us make it a simple but consistent practice to acknowledge:

Choreographer / Arranger: Name of the person who choreographed or arranged the dance.

Author / Researcher / Documenter: Name of the person who wrote, researched, or documented the material.

Producer: Name of the individual or institution that produced the video, recording, or performance.

Music / Recording: Composer, lyricist, performer, or recording source, as applicable.

Source / Institution: Book, publication, archive, organization, cultural communities, or other source from which the material was obtained.

A simple credit line in a program, presentation, video caption, publication, or social media post can go a long way:

Dance: [Title] | Choreography/Arrangement: [Name] | Research/Documentation: [Name] | Music/Recording: [Name or Source] | Production: [Name/Institution]

Let us also remember that proper attribution is a sign of respect, but it does not automatically replace the permission or license that may be required to use copyrighted material. When in doubt, verify the source, acknowledge the creators, and seek permission when necessary.

Our folk dance community thrives on sharing, collaboration, and collective learning. By recognizing the contributions of others, we help build a culture of integrity, accountability, and respect for the work of fellow artists, researchers, cultural workers, and institutions.

Let us credit the source and respect the community while continuing to keep our dances alive and meaningful for the next generation.
