Prof. Caesar Nimor and Mrs. Mila Catelo-Janson, leading Cebuano dance researchers, gave a lecture and had a demonstration on the traditional Sinug dance of Estelita “Titang” Diola vis-à-vis the Sinulog Mardi Gras dance of contemporary time.
The afternoon talk was enlightening as the speakers delved into the differences in dance choreographs, history, narratives and symbols, and meanings. They also gave comparisons / contrasts of these two dances with other dance forms in the country.
