Spain ruled the Philippines for more than 300 years, and the United States colonized the Philippines for about 50 years. Due to long-term foreign colonial rule, Philippine culture has new characteristics. At present, the mainstream culture in the Philippines is European and American culture, which Filipinos call "the cultural tradition of grafting western branches on the roots of the East, resulting in the combination of things." This makes a considerable part of his dance art with obvious Spanish color. However, in remote areas, such as the mountainous areas in the north of Luzon Island, the Muslim settlements in the south and some small islands, the folk dances of indigenous peoples are still preserved. This historical and geographical environment in the Philippines makes its dance have a special style.
