DirectRooms.com – Experience the Love of Dance at the Karansa Festival in Cebu
DirectRooms.com announces the Karansa Festival, one of the oldest colonial festivals in Cebu. Known as the one of the major fiestas in the town of Danao City, Cebu, the Karansa Festival is a dance festival that celebrates the joy and happiness of the people as they make their way through the four basic steps of the dance: the kikay, the karag, the kurug and the kurahay.
Cebu, Philippines, August 06, 2010 --(PR.com)-- This festival is about one thing and one thing only: dancing for the sheer enjoyment of celebration and the joy of life. There is no official pattern that the steps need to be performed in, and the music is somewhat random but somehow it all comes together. According to Counsellor Carmen Remedios Durano Meca, the Chairperson for the Committee for Tourism, the celebration of the Feast of St. Tomas is an entire week of festivities prior to Karansa even occurring, with the Karansa Festival as the final and defining moment.
The history of the event dates back to Spanish colonial times when the pottery workers would spend their evening hours drinking and dancing. Cebu hotels across the city are expected to be filled to overflowing with locals and foreigners alike to begin their celebrations on the 9th of September, despite the fact that the actual Karansa Festival does not start until the 18th of September. With more than a week of dancing, drinking and feasting to look forward to, travellers from around the world should book their reservations as soon as possible.
