The stick dances or ‘bailan palitos’ is hispanic in origin. Look up the links that are posted in the description to this video and you will see the Spanish Paloteos dances.

there’s a dance similar to this in the philippines, but it was made as a way of disguising basic stick fighting movements in the form of dance, since native martial arts were banned by the spanish

i looked at some of the links for the spanish paloteos dances. i was very surprised to see the spanish stick dances. i alway thought that the sticks were the native Chamorro element of this dance. i think we have given the dance a Chamorro flavor. and we can still be proud to call them Chamorro dances. our mixed native and hipanic heritage is evident in this performance. i hope to see more of these dances in youtube. i think they are more representative of Chamorro culture than some others.

También podéis buscar en otros idiomas de España: “Dantza palos” en vasco y “ball de bastons” en catalán o valenciano.
You can look for “dantza palos” or “ball de bastons” in other spanish lenguages too.
Un saludo.

WOW! I always wanted to know the origins of our stick dance. Guam has been influenced by the outside world for 500 years. Nice to know that our small island can be connected to so many other places because of our dances.

gracias por su comentario. de verdad, yo no se exactamente de donde los origenes. pero yo se que esta danza es un resultado de muchas influencias que se llegaron en la epoca española. por eso se llaman en idioma Chamorro… “bailan españot”

Soy español y de verdad a mi no me parecen bailes de origen español,si veo un origen español en los instrumentos musicales como las guitarras por ejemplo.
Parece una danza de guerra y si hay danzas de guerra aqui donde vivo en el norte de España de origen celta,se hacen con palos grandes o espadas.
De todas maneras es un espectaculo muy bonito, un saludo a Guam.

check out some of the dances i have linked in my description. although it is only speculation on my part, i think it would be fair to speculate that spanish/mexican sailors arriving in guam may have influenced the stick dance. or perhaps the stick dances of the pacific and asia may have influenced the mexican machete dance. dance can be used as a bridge to connect us with those we share much in common heritage with. both our island neighbors & our colonial brothers and sisters elsewhere.

I tried researching stick dances and the majority of it came from Asia and the Pacific Islands. I could not find anything on hispanic culture, but I did find something on Puerto Rico. There is a cultural dance that came from the mountains of Puerto Rico that uses sticks and looks close to this. So can someone explain the history of the chamorro stick dance.

True. I am just suggesting that maybe there may have been some Hispanic influence that arrived in Philippines with a small hint of Chamorro in it.

i think that regardless of who first got exposure to hispanic culture, both the cultures of Guam and the Philippines were greatly “hispanized” in all cultural aspects, in language, religion, dances, and customs.

Because of the Acapulco-Manila Galleons, most Hispanic influence on Guam and the Philippines arrived from Mexico. The Hispanic cultures of Guam and the Philippines resembles most closely to that of Mexico than any other former Spanish colonial country. Since all the Galleons stopped on Guam first, the Chamorros were exposed to the influences before they arrived in the Phillippines. Another link that connects Guam to the P.I. and to Mexico.

Guam and Philippines have many parallels in their histories with Spain. So there are many things in common that we share. Some fashions were introduced here from the Philippines as well as Mexico. Each former Spanish colony had it’s own unique Hispanic culture by blending native with Spanish. It is our Hispanic history and culture that connects Guam with the rest of the Hispanic world. Both the Philippines’ and Guam’s Hispanic culture still thrives despite the absence of the Spanish language.

I wud also like 2 ad d clothing worn by the girls, they look very familar to the Christian Philippine female clothing we call “Baro’t Saya” or at least a variation of the aforementioned. each variation of the dress here in the Philippines represents da livelihood dat women r in: nobles,farmers,etc. we also hav a sort of Philippine version of that dance, insted of stix, men wer coconut parts on impt joints of the body and hit it with a coconut for every beat.
”Maglalatik” is d name of d dance

when you mentioned “machete”, is it pronounced as “Ma-Che-Te” and not “Ma-Cheat”? Hehehe

Great performance by our local kids. I watched the Mexican machete dance that you indicated in your description, and I can see similarities. I encourage everyone to check out videos of the Mexican machete dances too. Nice to be connected to the Hispanic world through our dances, even though we never became a fully Spanish speaking island. Groups like this one help keep our Hispanic heritage alive. Biba Chamoru! Viva Chamorro!
