Tinikling is an energetic dance or rhythmic game that originated from the Philippines.
It is done with two long bamboo poles, that are tapped together and on the floor to a certain beat.
The object is to be able to dance or move through the poles without getting your ankles caught.
There are many versions of this--some traditional while others do an adaptation of it with a modern twist.

This video shows a little bit of both.
