Sinulog is a cultural and religious festival held every third Sunday of January in honor of the Santo Niño (Child Jesus). ADVERTISEMENTThe traditional motion — two steps forward and one step backward — resembles the “sulog,” or water current from which the Sinulog dance originated from. “The whole idea here is to teach them to dance Sinulog the traditional way. Imagine almost 200 kids dancing the authentic Sinulog,” Sandiego said. “I think we should put more essence on the devotion to the Santo Niño, especially in dancing the Sinulog,” he added.
