Discussion TI
History and Nature of Dance
A
C

 Dance can be seen among all the peoples and civilizations of the world. The origins of
dance are rooted prehistoric past. Various artistic, religious, and social forces stated out
U

the incorporation and development of dance.

ED

 Dance has been a major form of religious ritual and social expression within primitive
cultures. It was used as a way of expressing and reinforcing tribal unity and strength, as
an approach for courtship and mating as means of worship, communication and
C

therapeutic experience. It was said that the first use of dance was a gesture in order to
LI

communicate. People from the prehistoric era moved in ways they hoped would appease
O

the forces of nature or give them new powers of their own

 Dance became full blown and was richly recorded in Ancient Egypt. It was reflected in
TH

their wall paintings, reliefs, and in the literary records of the hieroglyphs. Most of the
dances in this era were chief medium of religious expression.
A

 The ancient Greeks also thought highly of dance. Dance was not only for religious and
C

military training, but also a form of entertainment and display. Dance was also commonly
used in education. Greek philosophers such as Plato; Aristotle; and Socrates strongly
O

supported this art as an integration of the body and soul. Plato immensely gave
C

importance to dance in education in his Elucidation on the laws. He highlighted the two
G

kinds of dance and music, the noble (fine and honourable) and the ignoble (imitating
N

what is mean or ugly).

A

Benefits of Dance
.Y

 Physical – Develop cardiovascular and muscular endurance, body composition (Malvar

2006) as well as balance and flexibility (Fine 1981; Keller 2007; Childs 2007). Dance
R

training also improves coordination skills (Rickett-Young 1996). Angioi et al., (2009)
T.

observed that there were significant improvements of aerobic and muscular fitness in
contemporary dancers who engage in low to moderate intensity dance genres. Dancing is
1
Page

also a great way to lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Dance is renowned for its

contribution to therapy. Dance therapy has been used in different medical fields
throughout history. It aids in recovering coordination and other neuromuscular skill after
an injury
 Mental/Emotional – Ravelin et al.; (2006) also suggested that dance can be used as
intervention in mental health nursing. The authors revealed that dance can offer an
acceptable way to release emotional and physical pressure. Dancing also gives other

TE
psychological health benefits as compared to other forms of exercise. A study published in
the journal “Neurobiology of Aging” adds to evidence that exercise can help the brain

U
sharp. Vorghese et al.; greatly supported the mental benefits of dancing in their study

IT
concluding that dancing was the only regular physical activity associated with a
significant decrease in the incidence of dementia.

ST
 Social – Dance provides a unique opportunity for meaningful group involvement as it
encourages intense, positive social and interpersonal relationships in a working group.

IN
Also, dance gives a sense of togetherness in a group. One of the reasons why there has
been a tremendous growth of dance based fitness regiments is the increasing need of self-

L
expression and social interactions amongst men and women in the new millennium.

A
 Cultural – Dance promotes a place or a country’s rich culture through showcasing the

N
different cultural dances. The people around the world are brought to “a closer

O
understanding if the lives of the people represented and to an appreciation of their
TI
respective folk cultures”. It is through looking at the different dances of other countries
will one see the value of one’s culture.

TE
2. What do you think are the reasons why some people are dancing?
3. What is folk dance?

U
IT
As obedient child of God, some folk dances are performed to give thanks to Him for all the

ST
blessings and sometimes for making a request.
As peace loving citizen, discrimination in dancing is a no, not because you’re American,

IN
Filipino, Chinese etc. you can’t dance. As long your willingness is there and you have
thepassion you can join and belong.

LESSON PROPER

A
N
 Folk dances are the indigenous dances of any specific “folk” or the common people. They

O
are traditional customary or recreational dance forms of a given country which have
TI
evolved naturally and were handed down across generations.
 Folk dances are related to everything of importance in our daily lives such as customs,
A
rituals, and occupations of a specific group of people. Most of these dance are related in
C

origin to religious belief, stemming from emotions, superstitions, festival ceremonies of

U

birth, courtship, marriage, death, war, and countless themes common to all people
ED

around the world

 Duggan Schlottmann, and Rutledge (1948) said that “folk dance became the overt
expression of emotions and ideas which were peculiarly part of their history and patterns
C

of daily living.
LI

 Lopez (2006) defined Philippine folk dances as “a traditional mode of expression that
employs bodily movements of redundant patterns linked to definitive features of
O

rhythmic beats or music.” She further stated that Philippine folk dance, to be called such
TH

have the following characteristics:

1. It is traditional.
A

2. It has an expressive behaviour.

3. Simple, basic rhythm dominates the folk dance and establishes the pattern of
C

movement.
O

4. It is created by an unknown choreographer or by communal efforts.

5. It performs a function in the life of the (folk) people.
C

 Most folk dances are based on several fundamental dance steps. According to Lopez
G

(2006), Philippine folk dances should have simple, basic rhythm that dominates the
N

dance and establishes the pattern of movement. With this, it is imperative to review and
A

learn the different fundamental dance steps in order to perform several folk dances. The
.Y

origin of these steps varies and depends on the influences of different cultures. Here are
some steps of Fundamentals step of Folk Dance:

Cariñosa
(Spanish pronunciation: [kaɾiˈɲosa], meaning the loving or affectionate one) is a Philippine
dance of Hispanic origin from the Maria Clara suite of Philippine folk dances, where the fan or
handkerchief plays an instrumental role as it places the couple in romance scenario.

History of Cariñosa

TE
Dances in the Philippines are a melting pot of indigenous, Asian, American, Latin and European

U
styles. The cariñosa is a popular folk dance that was introduced to the country by the Spaniards

IT
when they arrived in the 16th century.

ST
The cariñosa dance is a popular folk dance performed throughout the Philippines. It

IN
belongs to the Maria Clara suite of Philippine folk dances. These are so named in honor of Maria
Clara, who was the main character in Jose Rizal's novel Noli Me Tangere, ('Don't Touch Me'),

L
about the colonization of the Philippines by the Spanish. In it, Maria Clara is portrayed as a

A
noble and loyal woman, who after the publication of the novel in the 19th century became the

N
female symbol of virtue for Filipina women. The cariñosa is a much-loved folk dance in the
Philippines and the characteristic shy behavior of the female dancer is said to represent the

O
mannerisms of Filipina women. TI
During the Marcos regime, the cariñosa was named the national dance of the Philippines.
A
To this day school text books still claim this; however, the Philippine government maintains it is
another dance called "tinikling," which is a native dance. Today, the cariñosa is performed at
C

social gatherings and festivities.

U
ED

Origin of Cariñosa

Cariñosa was introduced to the country by Spanish colonizers. It is believed that Panay Island,
C

located in the Visayan Islands group was the original home of the cariñosa. The word Cariñosa is
LI

from a Spanish word which literally means "she that is loving" (the verb ending indicates it
refers to a woman). As such, it is a slow dance where a man and a woman dance together. Its
O

style bears resemblance to a bolero or a waltz. The Spanish first arrived on the island in 1569.
TH

The dance soon spread around the Philippines, giving rise to different versions in different
regions. In Bicol, two handkerchiefs are used and both dancers point their feet forward as their
A

hands go up at the same time. In Visayan, the couple goes as far as combing each other's hair.
C

The hide and seek movements are common to all the versions. One variation performed at
weddings involved the man dancing around the woman until she consents to dance with him.
O
C

Figures of Cariñosa
G

The 1st figure is the “Three Steps and Point”. It starts with the right foot, take three steps
N

sideward right. Point left foot in front. Right hand in reverse “T” position and left hand on
A
