The Pangalay is popularly known as the “fingernail” dance among the Tausug and Samal people. The name was derived from the verb mangalay which means 'to dance'. It can also refer to any traditional style of dance performed during social gatherings and festive occasions like weddings. The male and female performers of this dance highlight the articulate postures and hand gestures commonly seen in Sulu and Tawi-Tawi.
