The document provides instructions for performing the Tinikling dance, a traditional Philippine folk dance that involves dancers jumping in and out of two bamboo poles clapped together in rhythm. It outlines the equipment needed which are two poles and one dancer, and the goal which is for the dancer to move their feet in and out of the poles according to a sequence of counts. The counts and corresponding foot movements are listed, with the dance culminating in the dancer doing a cartwheel through the poles. A video is also provided for demonstration purposes.
