Kayumanggi, the Tagalog word meaning "brown-skinned" is the Filipino dance troupe at Stanford. They perform traditional Filipino folk dances that are as diverse as the many different islands in the Philippines. They enjoy dancing and entertaining crowds at all different venues, showcasing the gracefulness, energy, and rhythm of the Filipino culture to the Stanford community. Open to all who are interested, Kayumanggi is one way to connect with the rich culture of the Philippines.
Kayumanggi performs throughout the year for numerous Stanford University events as representatives of Filipino culture and performance. The year culminates in an annual Spring Show, where several traditional dances are presented, some having a contemporary twist.
