Folkdances. A wide variety of antique folkdances will be showcased during the heritage festival closing activities. A folkdance called sinurog, imitates the movements of the babaylan to the tune of drums and other percussions. This dance is usually performed to start gatherings and important events. During celebrations and community gatherings, the people could witness imitative dances like the monkey dance of the Ati, the binanog or dinapaydapay of the Bukidnon, or the livelihood dances of the lowlanders, such as mananggite. The binanog is a courship dance imitating the movements of the hawk, known as banog. It is characterized by quick steps and double steps, accented with outstretched arms flapped about like bird wings. Sometimes, the female dancer flirtatiously flicks a piece of cloth, a colorful ambilay or shoulder cloth, while the male dancer follows her. Others might look at it as imitating the mating of the birds. The kuratsa, although a common dance among the Visayans, is not without its version in Antique. The Antiqueño kuratsa is a social dance, traditionally performed during gatherings, and especially during wedding parties. The females wear the kimona and patadyong, while the males wear trousers and kamisa chino. In Anini-y, there is a wedding dance called Urukay, characterized by skipping movements. It is performed by the parents of the bride and groom. A playful dance stressing female obedience, the women crawl between the men’s legs, while they are shouting “Suhot, Balaye!”

A dance called Escopiton was documented in Malandog, Hamtic, and believed to have originated from dancers Esco and Piton. It is characterized by fast and frenetic movements. According to the legend, while they were dancing, a lizard fell on Esco’s back, and he flicked and flapped and skipped and hopped to let the lizard off, asking his partner Piton to help him. The people who saw them thought they were introducing a new dance step and followed their movements, until it became very popular in the village. Pandang - pandang is a very popular wedding dance in the province of Antique performed by the bride and the groom while wedding guests and relatives shower them with money and gifts.

It was brought to the Philippines during the Spanish period but achieved its popularity during the American Period. It was widely known as the native string band, composed of instruments such as banduria, laud, octavina, guitar and bajo de uñas or the Filipino bass guitar. The Children’s Rondalla of Hamtic, Antique, Philippines gives hope to music lovers to relive indigenous music and instruments and a big chance of getting back rondalla into its popularity. The Hamtic Children's Rondalla is composed of twenty seven young children, with the aim to set a new trend of expressing folk and contemporary music. The Hamtic Children's Rondalla continues its mission to provide the young generation a chance to rediscover music and harness their creative energies and express them artistically through music.

KOMEDYA - Better known then as "moro-moro", this ancient theater form lies in the heart of Antique as it is in its capital town of San Jose where the first documented Comedia in Western Visayas was staged, as recorded by the newspaper El Eco de Panay. The Comedia is the theater version of the Corrido or metrical romances, a literary form popular in Europe at the time of the Spanish colonization of the Philippines . In Antique, the komedya gained popularity as early as the nineteenth century. The earliest documented komedya in the region was in San Jose in May 1893, presumably during the town fiesta, which falls on May 1 in honor of St. Joseph. The komedya festival here continues to go mainstream after a successful attempt to re-introduce it to the people during the Binirayan festival.
