Balcena Meaning: To wipe off mud from bare foot. Dance Culture: Lowland Christian Place of Origin: Capiz Classification: Festival Dance Background / Context: 56 The Capiz farmer like other farmers, depends on rain as if it were life itself. When rain does not fall on his rice fields, he and the village pray a nine-day long marathon novena ending with a procession honouring the patron saint. And finally, when the rain comes, the overjoyed farmers look forward to a thanksgiving banquet. A “Hermana mayor” or main sponsor is chosen in whose house a big feast is prepared. With all activities leading to the main house — men, carabao, sleds, and carts turn the dirt road into sticky mud puddles. To anticipate muddy feet entering the house, doormats are literally laid to welcome the guests, each wiping-off their feet as expected of polite and respectful farmers. Playfulness got the better of the better of the guests, as each one come up with innovative and impromptu movements including stamping, twisting, and gyrating in time with lilty music played by a rondalla. Something happened from the doormat to the “sala” ....the birth of the “pahid” dance.
