The theme of the Pangalay dance is not explicitly stated in the search results. However, the Pangalay dance is a traditional Tausug dance characterized by elaborate body postures and gestures and the graceful arm and hand movement of the dancer, amplified by the use of long fingernails. It is predominantly performed during weddings or other festive events. The dance has a number of versions, including the Pangalay Linggisan, which is performed by a solo female dancer imitating the movement of a bird in flight, and the Pangalay Courtship, wherein a pair of dancers imitate the graceful courtship dance of birds. During wedding performances, it is a tradition that guests would tuck money between the fingers of the female dancer. The Pangalay dance is a living link to the traditional dance cultures of Asia with closest affinity to the Indian, Javanese, Thai, Burmese, and Cambodian styles of classical dancing. The dance is also used as a tool to support the ideological construction of a Philippine culture as "rich and diverse".
