Another maypole country and Indonesia! (or possibly the Philliipines)

Found a Hungarian dance - with a move I haven't seen before. Annoyingly, the photographer doesn't show you the top of the pole, so I can only guess at the pattern it makes.
Szalagos tanc translates as 'strip dance', thus demonstrating the dangers of translation...

But why?

I'm open to suggestions...

Via the Dutch?

I was wandering about that, but I think in this case, the guy who shot the video might have taught them the dance. I think he's Hugarian and the dance was identical to a Hungarian one I'd seen elsewhere.

I haven't yet found any Dutch dances, but it's an area I need to investigate.

Well don´t ask me - it is interesting though!

I've realised that it might be in the Phillipines - Pampang or Pampanga...
