Balangbang was originally a war dance performed during canao, a feast to celebrate either victory in war, a bountiful harvest, or a wedding. The dance shows a duel or combat of two warriors who later joins them. The hide and seek movements which follow the rhythm of the ganza (gong) dramatize the killing. The dancing crowd shields the warriors from clashing with each other. A closed dance formation represents the shielding and an open dance formation depicts the duel or fight scene.
