PASIGIN

Pasigin is a dance that originates from Capiz. It is named after the net, pasigin, which is used to catch the fish. In Capiz, the net is called sibot. The movements exhibited by the dancers mimick movements of fishermen scooping their nets as they try to catch fish. Along with the swiping motions of their nets, the footwork of the fishermen are intricate, modeling the ways in which they move through the water. The dancers representing the fish are fluid and graceful. The overall tone of the dance is playful and friendly.
