form, dance is an art, the
art of the body
movement.
“Dance is fun! It lifts the spirit, strengthens the body, and stimulates the mind”.

2. Dancers may emphasize specific parts of their body in a dance phrase or their
whole body.
3. An action can include dance steps, facial movements, lifts, carries, and catches,
and even everyday movements such as walking.
4. Dancers do not choose movements that have been done before, nor do they
revise or embellish movement they have learned from others.
5. Dancers may focus their movement and attention outwardly to the space or
inwardly into themselves.
6. Dancers may stay in one place and move parts of their body or their whole body,
or they may travel from one place to another.

activity and rest.

Lesson 1:
History and Nature of dance
Dance differs from athletics and other daily activities because it focuses primarily
on aesthetic or even entertaining experience. People dance to please the gods, please
others, and please themselves or self-expression and to build community. The various
types of dances are also considered as an entertaining way to remain fit, with Zumba,
and other forms of dance being incorporated into workout routines.
History of dance
It has said the first use of dance was a gesture to communicate. Dance
accompanied ancient rituals, spiritual gatherings, and social events. The oldest proof of
existence of dancing comes from the 9000-year-old cave paintings that were found in
India, which depicts various scenes of hunting, childbirth, religious rites, burials and
most importantly communal drinking and dancing.
I. As a means of religious expression- In

Egypt, the priests and priestesses,
accompanied by harps and pipes,
perform stately movements, which
mime significant events in the story of
a god, or imitate cosmic patterns such
as the rhythm of night and day.
Ancient Egypt
II. As an aid to military education –

ancient Greeks believed that a man’s
grace in dance equaled his powers in
battle; therefore, dance was
incorporated in their basic education.
Ancient Greece

Tel. Nos.: (+6374) 442-3316, 442-8220; 444-2786;
III. Way of expressing tribal unity - They

danced to appease the gods, to curry
favor from powerful spirits, to celebrate
a hunt or harvest, to mimic the exotic
life forms around them. They danced
their stories and their shamanic rituals,
their rites of passage and their
remembered legends and history.
Philippines
IV. As an approach for courtship-

Panliligaw are the Tagalog terms for
courtship, which in some parts of the
Tagalog-speaking regions is
synonymous with digahan (from
Spanish diga, “to say,
express”). Manliligaw is the one who
courts a girl; nililigawan is the one
who is being courted.
Philippines
Lesson 2:
ELEMENTS OF DANCE
Remember the acronym:

B. A. S. T. E.
BODY
- body awareness, use of body parts (e.g., hips, shoulders), body shapes (e.g.,
angular, stretched, twisted), locomotor movements (e.g., leap, dart), non-
locomotor movements (e.g., twist, rock), body bases, symmetry versus
asymmetry, geometric versus organic shape, curved versus angular shape,
isolation of body parts, weight transfer
Action
- Action is any human movement included in the act of dancing.
SPACE
- the area that the dance performers occupy and where they move
- can be divided into four different aspects, also known as spatial elements.
Elements of Space
I. Direction
- The performers can go forward, backward, diagonal, circular, and so on.
5
Tel. Nos.: (+6374) 442-3316, 442-8220; 444-2786;
II. Size
- Movements can be varied by doing smaller or larger actions
III. Level
- Movements can be done in a high, medium, and low level.
IV. Focus
- Performers may change their focus by looking at different directions.
TIMING
- The movements in timing can be execute in varying tempo (speed). Performers
move with tempo of an underlying sound known as beat or pulse.
ENERGY
- Movements is propelled by energy or force. This force can either initiate or stop
an action. Dance uses different energies. Varied use of these minimizes the
monotony of the movements in the performance.
Qualities of dance energies

1. Sustained- movements are done smoothly, continuously, and with flow and
control. It does not have a clear beginning and ending.
2. Percussive – movements are explosive or sharp in contrast with sustained
movements. They are accented with thrust of energy. They have a clear
beginning and ending.
3. Vibratory – movements consist of trembling or shaking. A faster version of
percussive movements that produces a jittery effect.
4. Swinging – movements trace a curved line or an arc in space. The movements
are relaxed and giving in to gravity on the downward part of the motion,
followed by an upward application of energy.
5. Suspended – movements are perched in space or hanging on air. Holding a
raised leg in any direction is an example of a suspended movement.
6. Collapsing – movements are released in tension and gradually or abruptly giving
in to a gravity, letting the body descend to the floor. A slow collapse can be
described as a melting or oozing action in downward direction.
DYNAMICS
- Moving body related to speed, energy and flow of movement
- This creates rhythm, phrasing, and accents to move.
RELATIONSHIP
- dancers to objects, opposition, groupings (large and small groups), meet/part,
follow/lead, emotional connections between dancers
