What is the meaning of sarok philippine folk dance step?

Sarók is a footwork in Philippine folk dance. It consists of a sideways movement involving a hop on one foot and then a closing of the free foot to the supporting foot. The movement is usually done in a zigzag or lateral pattern.

The word "sarók" is believed to have originated from the Spanish word "zapateado", which refers to a tapping or stamping of the feet. The term "sarók" is also used in other Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore, and is similar to movements found in other Asian dance forms such as the Indian Kathak and Manipuri.
