of rhythm and space concepts.

Rhythm can arouse a higher intensity of movements, longer participation and


interest, and possibly increased enjoyment.

The locomotors Movement Skills and Non- Manipulative Movement Skills

Locomotor movement skills are used to move the body from one place to another or to project the
body upward as in jumping and hopping. They include walking, running, skipping, leaping, sliding, and
galloping. They form the foundation of gross motor coordination and involve large muscle.

1. Walking- It is the regular pacing of the feet; a simple transferring of body weight from one
foot to the other on the ground.

2. Running-It is an increased speed in walking by lifting the foot off the contact ground.

3. Hopping- It is a springing action from one foot and landing on the same foot in any direction.
The knee seldom straightens fully.

4. Leaping-This is an extension of a run, where the greater force is used to produce a higher
dimension than a run.

5. Sliding-the lead step is quickly followed by the free foot closing to replace the supporting
foot. The lead foot quickly springs from the floor into a direction of intended travel.

6. Galloping-Galloping is a combination of a step (full transfer of weight on one foot) and a cut
by the transfer of weight on the other foot. It is an exaggerated slide in a forward direction.

7. Skipping- It is a combination of a step and a hop, first on one foot and then on the other foot
on faster tempo.

8. Jumping-It is a locomotor pattern in which the body propels itself off the floor or apparatus
into a momentary period of flight.

9. Chasing-It is travelling quickly to overtake or tag a fleeing person.

10. Fleeing-It is travelling quickly away from a pursuing person or object.

11. Dodging-It is the skill of quickly moving the body in a direction other than the original line
movement.

Non- manipulative movement skills are performed without appreciable movement from place to
place. Those skills are not as well defined as locomotor skills. They include bending and stretching,
pushing and pulling, raising and lowering, twisting and turning, shaking, bouncing, and circling,
among others.

1. Balancing- dictionary defines balance as, the stability produced by even distribution of weight
on each side of the vertical axis.
2. Rolling- it is the act of transferring weight to adjacent body parts around central axis.
3. Stretching- it is extending or straightening a body part from a joint.
4. Rotating- it is the turning, twisting or circling of the body or body parts around an axis.
5. Swinging/swaying- body movements from a joint resembling a pendulum.
6. Striking/ Hitting- it is giving impetus to an object with a hit, punch or tap.
7. Pulling- it is an act of lugging or towing an object towards or with the body.
8. Pushing- I is an act of shoving an object away from the body.
9. Vibrating- it is the shaking of the body or body parts or beating movement.

characteristics of a specific people at a given time and place.
 Traditional, social expression through movements with rhythmic accompaniment which are
characteristics of the community life of the people of different nationalities.

ORIGIN

ORIGIN OF DANCE IN THE PHILIPPINES ACCORDING TO FILIPINO LEGEND


According to Philippine legend, the first man and the first woman went up to the hill to make
their first home. They begot many children and later became the ancestors of diverse tribes.
Several beliefs influenced their way of life. When death struck, when lightning flashed in the
sky, and when thunder rumbled, the tribe were struck with fear. They thought that the gods were
hungry. To place their deities, they offered sacrificial rites by way of fire and smoke in the belief that
smoke from fires they kindled carried their invocation heavenwards.
When illness and pestilence befell the tribes, the people wailed and chanted and danced long
into night, so that the evil spell might be broken. When the earth caked from drought, they performed
dance of propitiation so that the divine entities might take pity on them and send rain to their parched
fields. And when the rains came and drenched the soil to assure a bountiful harvest, these children of
the gods danced in the moonlight in joy and thanksgiving.
In the acts of imploring, conciliating and giving thanks to the gods, the people these islands created to
live forever in themselves, in their children and their children’s children.

THE PHILIPPINE DANCE

Dance in the Philippines influences the diversity of our cultural beginnings and the
drama of our everyday lives. It blends the exotic customs and cultures of many countries
and races-Indonesians, Malay, Chinese, Indian, Spanish and American.
The Philippine archipelago was inhabited by three different racial groups even
before the coming of Magellan in 1521. They were the Pygmies, the Indonesians, and the
Malays. The Negritos and Proto-Malays were the descendant of the Pygmies. Dancing
among the Negritos was mostly pantomimic performed to depict the events of daily chores.
Filipinos possess natural grace, an inborn love for music and dance. Dancing is
considered a religious activity for them. They dance at many occasions-births, love,
courtship, thanksgiving, wedding war, victory, marriage, planting and harvesting,
prosperous voyage, recovery from sickness and to heal the sick.
In places where life is easy, the dances are gay and frolicsome. Dances in places
where life is hard are sad, slow and even mournful.
Filipinos are also lovers of rituals as shown in ceremonial dances during town fiestas,
Christmas, Easter, Ash Wednesday. There are dances performed by the priests and
priestesses in the thanksgiving for a plentiful harvest, a victorious battle, a prosperous
voyage or recovery from sickness, to drive away evil spirits and invoking their gods and
anitos.

beats in each measure. Two measures of music are required for a full basic step. In four beats of music,
three steps are taken. Essential to Rumba is the Cuban motion achieved through knee-straightening,
figure-eight hip rolls and swiveling action of the feet. Strong and direct walks lead by the ball of the foot

 Discuss the description of basic cha cha


cha dancing
 Perform the basic steps of cha cha cha
LESSON:  Participate actively in dance presentation
and activities.

CHA-CHA-CHA
BASIC DANCE STEP

The cha-cha dance originated from Cuba and was originally known as the cha-cha-cha. The dance
gained popularity around the 1950's and was created from two other dances – the 'mambo' and
the 'danzon'. While working with the charanga group 'Orquesta America' in Cuba performed at
dance halls in Havana. Enrique Jorrin, a violinist and composer, realized that most of the crowds
related the danzon-mambo rhythm to a much slower mambo dance and thus had hardship
adopting the syncopated rhythms. He decided to compose music that strongly focused on the first
downbeat such that the rhythm became less syncopated. This caused the crowd dancers to develop
a triple step, creating the sound 'cha-cha-cha' with their shoes, thus the cha-cha-cha was born.
Some, however, maintain that the footwork pattern "one-two-cha-cha-cha" has its roots in the
vocal imitation of the sound produced by the shoes. The name of the dance is basically an
onomatopoeia that comes out of the sound of the dancers shoes. This explains why many call it
the 'cha-cha-cha' and others 'cha-cha'.

Cha cha music is composed in 4/4 time (four beats to a bar of music). For each bar of music there are
2 slow and 3 quick steps, which may be counted as – one, two, cha, cha, cha or step, step, step, quick
step, quick step. The footwork is simple and mostly focuses on just shifting weight from one foot to
another.
Remember, five steps are taken to four beats of music. Also don't forget that the movements tend to
be somewhat flirtatious. This is definitely a party dance!

Partners face each other. Gentleman starts with the left foot, lady starts with the right foot. Basic

BOOGIE
BASIC DANCE STEP

This form of swing dance is known by many different names such as the Boogie Woogie or the
Boogie dance. In the United States, it is called the East Coast swing and the ‘Boogie Woogie’ is the
commonly accepted name that is used in Europe.
Originally, the dance was known as “barrelhouse” dancing. What we know today as the “boogie
woogie” would have been considered as “rock ‘n’ roll” dancing in the 1950’s. However, since “rock
‘n’ roll” already had its own style of dance, boogie- woogie began to be danced to fast-paced, piano
boogie-woogie music and therefore it received its resultant label and name.

Stand in place and do a rock step.


A rock step is where you step back
with one of your feet and then
rock back into your starting position. As
you step back with your foot, lift up your
other foot that’s in front of you. Then
place your front foot back down and step
back into your starting position. Your
upper body should feel like it’s rocking
backward, then forward
For example, to do a rock step with your
right foot, step back with your right foot
and lift your left foot (which hasn’t moved
from your starting position) a few inches
above the ground. Then put your left foot
back down and step back into your
starting position.

Do a triple step after you rock step. A triple


step is when you do three steps while standing
in place. As you stand in place, lift and step
down with your right foot, then your left foot, and
finally your right foot again. You can also start with your
left foot instead of your right foot.
Your feet should only be coming up a few inches off the
floor with each step.

Do another triple step, but start with the opposite foot this time. If
you started your last triple step with your right foot, start this one
with your left foot, and vice versa.

Do another rock step using the same foot as the


first time. If you stepped back with your left foot
the first time you rock stepped, step back with
your left foot for the second one

Practice the basic step sequence. Make sure you've got it down before you head onto the dance
floor with a partner. Remember, it's a rock step, then two triple steps, another rock step, and
repeat.

SWING
BASIC DANCE STEP

An outgrowth of the jitterbug, it is marked by quick, strenuous movements sometimes


accompanied by acrobatics in its present form; it maybe a lively smooth dance. Benny Goodman is
the band leader credited with the developing the rhythm of swing. It is named after Charles
Lindbergh’s solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean in 1927 Music is 4/4 time sometimes ¾ and the
counting is 1,2,3,4 or 1,2 ah 3.

Swing is a lively, non-progressive partner dance that can be danced to a wide variety of music, from
blues to rock & roll. Non-progressive means it's mostly performed in one spot, so it's very convenient
on a crowded dance floor.

Swing is one of the most versatile partner dances you can learn - very social and beginner friendly.
Easily adaptable to a wide range of tempos, it involves movements with lots of swinging, spinning and
rhythmic, creative footwork.

There are many different styles of swing, the term actually refers to a group of dances that developed
from the swing style of jazz music in the first half of the last century. There's Lindy Hop, Boogie-Woogie,
Jitterbug, Shag, Charleston, West Coast and East Coast Swing, just to name a few. Each of these dances
has its own distinct flavor.

One of the most popular and very suitable for beginners is the East Coast Swing. It's a bit more social
and relaxed than other versions. It's also a formal ballroom dance and the easiest to learn. Perfect for
beginners, which is why we'll focus on this version here. It will create a good foundation and is the base
for other more complex versions.
