The era that saw the adaptation and transformation of indigenous Filipino dances into new forms influenced by Spanish culture was during the Spanish colonization of the Philippines. The Spaniards introduced many of their native folk dances to the Filipinos, and European dances like the waltz, mazurka, the Spanish jota, paso doble, fandango, and others were transformed to suit the climate and the temperament of the people. Filipinos, mainly aristocrats, also created their own renditions of Hispanic and other European dances such as the jotas, fandangos, mazurkas, and waltzes that were done during this time. The fandango was recreated as the pandaggo, the jota was recreated in several regions, and Cariñosa and Sayaw Santa Isabel had steps that were taken from a popular dance, the waltz. As Hispanic and other European dances had more sharp and fast steps, Filipinos softened these movements when adapting them.
