Content Lecture/ Discussion

The history of dance is difficult to access because dance does not often leave behind clearly
identifiable physical artefacts that last over millennia, such as stone tools, hunting implements
or cave paintings. It is not possible to identify with exact precision when dance became part
of human culture.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION 2 ( RHYTHMIC ACTIVITIES ) Every individual has rhythm. It is found in


all of nature and is natural to every individual. Rhythm is most clearly seen through dance- the art
of movement

What is rhythm? ---- Is the regular recurrence of accented and unaccented beats.

Rhythms--------------- Is a term which denotes an aspect of a quality of movement that is


sometimes thought of as dance. When an individual moves in response to a particular rhythm or
music we call the movements as rhythmic movements or rhythms. Structured forms which start
creative rhythmic movements are called rhythms.

Rhythmic activities---- are the physical manifestations of the mental and emotional response of
the individual to rhythm. They are activities which a child responds to physically, socially, and
mentally to regular patterns of sound.

       They are also a source of enjoyment for people of all ages. Through these activities, skills and
the sense of rhythm are acquired and developed, feelings are expressed, basic principles of time,
space and force can be experienced.

Everyone reacts to music or rhythm in one form or another. A head swaying, a foot tapping,
fingers snapping, shoulders and body moving while a musical piece is played are physical
reactions.

Dance ---------- refers to movement set to music where there emerges organization, structure and
pattern. It is a composition that implies arrangement of parts into a form.

Dancing ------- is a means of expressing one’s emotions through movement disciplined by rhythm.


It is an act of moving rhythmically and expressively to an accompaniment. The word dancing came
from an old German word “ danson” which means to “ stretch”. Essentially, all dancing is made up
of stretching and relaxing.

Rhythmic fundamentals

TANAUAN CITY COLLEGE [COURSE CODE – MODULE No.] COURSE TITLE 3|P a g e
            In the field of dance, there are certain fundamental knowledge and rhythmic skills
considered important for proficiency and efficiency in bodily movements

History of Rhythmic Activity


Rhythmic activities trace back to the Olympics, with sports such as gymnastics that combined
movement with the use of rhythm. This created a form of physical expression with strength and
ability. Now, rhythmic activities commonly extend to physical games with elements of song and
dance.

Fundamental movement skills categories include:


 Balance skills - Movements where the body remains in place, but moves around its
horizontal and vertical axes.
 Locomotor skills - such as running, jumping, hopping, and galloping.
 Ball skills - such as catching, throwing, kicking, underarm roll and striking.

Dance has been a part of human culture since the very earliest communities and civilisations, with
recorded evidence of dancing being found dating back to 30,000 years ago.

Since then, different dances have changed, merged and evolved into what we know today as the
most well-known dance genres.

Here is a list of the most popular types of dance:


1. Ballet
2. Ballroom
3. Contemporary
4. Hip Hop
5. Jazz
6. Tap Dance
7. Folk Dance
8. Irish Dance
9. Modern Dance
10. Swing Dance

Ballet

Ballet dance developed during the Italian Renaissance, before evolving in France and Russia into
a concert dance meant for public performance. This is in the form of a ballet, in which the dance is
choreographed with classical music.

Ballet productions vary between using elaborate costumes and staging and using minimal
costuming and bare staging.

Ballet is now a widespread, highly technical form of dance with many subgenres including classic,
romantic, neoclassical and contemporary.

With six core recognised methods: the Cecchetti method, the Bournoville method, the Vaganova
method, the French School, the Royal Academy of Dance method and the Balanchine method,
ballet is studied professionally at top dance schools all over the world.

Harlequin Floors have developed a range of specialist ballet dance floors providing enough


traction to prevent injury while still allowing for fluid movements demanded by ballet
dancing. Harlequin Cascade is one of our most popular ballet dance floors and can be laid over
many of our sprung floors. 

Harlequin Floors also offer professional ballet barres available as either permanent wall


mounted, floor mounted or freestanding barres.

TANAUAN CITY COLLEGE [COURSE CODE – MODULE No.] COURSE TITLE 4|P a g e
Ballroom

Ballroom dance is a type of partner dance originating at the end of the sixteenth century in France.
Commonly used as shorthand for any partner dance, ballroom has today evolved into two main
subgenres – standard/smooth and Latin/rhythm.

Dances within these categories include the waltz, tango and foxtrot, and pasodoble, bolero and
samba.

Ballroom is a popular form of competitive dance, or dancesport, with competitions being held all
over the world.

With several sub-categories to ballroom dancing, dancers require a versatile floor. Harlequin


Fiesta and our specially crafted Harlequin Liberty Ballroom dance floor offer an excellent versatile
dance floor for all styles of ballroom dance.

Contemporary

Developed during the mid-twentieth century, contemporary dance is now one of the most popular
and technical forms of dance studied and performed professionally, especially in the US and
Europe.

Drawing on classical, modern and jazz dance styles, contemporary dance has evolved to
incorporate many characteristics of a broader range of dance forms.

Known for its emphasis on strong torso and legwork, contract and release, fall and recovery and
floor work, it is often known for unpredictable and disordered changes in speed and rhythm
throughout a performance.

Due to this, contemporary dancers require a shock-absorbing surface to protect their feet, legs
and ankles from rapid movements and changes in rhythm. Harlequin’s innovative ‘triple
sandwich’ Harlequin Activity sprung floor can be coupled with several of our vinyl dance floors, to
create the ideal surface for contemporary dance.

Hip-Hop

Hip-hop dancing refers to a range of street dances that developed in relation to hip hop music and
culture. Hip-hop dancing dates back to the early 1970s in New York and California, evolving out of
Funk and the development of break beat.

Main styles of hip-hop dancing include Breaking, Locking and Popping, with derivative styles
emerging out of these including Memphis Jookin’, Turfing, Jerkin’ and Krumping. These were often
popularised and made mainstream after being featured in music videos of the time.

Today, hip-hop is performed in outdoor spaces, in dance studios and competitively.

Unlike many competitive dance styles, hip-hop is often improvisational with dance crews
challenging each other to dance battles.

At Harlequin Floors we have created Harlequin Freestyle, a specialist dance floor designed


specifically to meet the unique demands of Hip Hop and other street dance styles.

Jazz

Jazz dancing has its roots in seventeenth-century African traditions, brought to the Americas via
the Atlantic slave trade as slaves continued dancing traditions in Brazil, the US and elsewhere on
the continents.

Known for its improvisational and dramatic body movements, the jazz dancing grew in popularity

TANAUAN CITY COLLEGE [COURSE CODE – MODULE No.] COURSE TITLE 5|P a g e
in early twentieth-century jazz clubs.

Today, jazz dancing builds on African American vernacular dance styles that emerged along with
Jazz music in the US. Swing, the Lindy Hop, the Shimmy and the Charleston are popular kinds of
jazz dances.

For your Jazz dancers, our range of vinyl floors including Harlequin Studio and Harlequin
Allegro offer ideal surfaces for practice and performance.

Tap Dancing

Tap dancing is a type of percussive dance characterised by the “tap” of shoes hitting the floor as
the person dances. Tap dancers often wear metal “taps” on the heel and toe of a shoe to
accentuate the sound.

Often performed as part of musical theatre, tap dancing often focuses on choreography and
formations, with more than one tap dancer performing at once.

Tap dancing includes a range of dances including flamenco, rhythm, classical, broadway and
postmodern tap.

As a percussive dance style, tap dancers are looking to achieve a crisp, hollow sound to
accentuate their performance. This unique characteristic of tap dancing requires a specialist floor
for optimal performance. Harlequin Fiesta is an excellent choice of tap dance flooring for your
dance studio or performance space. Lay over a sprung flooring system such as Harlequin
Flexity to protect your dancer’s joints and allow them to perform with complete confidence.

Folk Dance

Folk dancing is celebrated worldwide with people of different cultures and religions using various
forms of folk dance to portray emotions, stories, historical events or even aspects of daily life.

Some well known types of folk dance include: Bharatanatyam (India), Samba (Brazil), Flamenco
(Spain) and Hula (Hawaii). Some cultures may even perform multiple variations of folk dances,
with countries like South Korea performing individual dances for key events such as victories in
war, farming, music and religion.

Folk dances are commonly held at public events, where people can participate regardless of
whether they are professional or complete beginners. Such dances are also accompanied by
traditional music to further enhance the cultural experience.

Our range of portable performance floors are excellent for folk dances held at all types of public
venues and events.

Irish Dance

Originating in Ireland, this form of traditional dance has been popular for hundreds of years
amongst Irish people and other countries worldwide. Popularised by shows such as Riverdance,
Irish dancing is famously known for its fabulous display of footwork and dance formations.

Most Irish dancing events are traditionally accompanied by signing and music. During festivals,
dances are held to showcase talent and to compete for trophies or medals.

Whilst most people may recognise Irish dancing as being a group performance, there are many
well-known forms of  solo Irish dances, such as the stepdance.

For Irish dance floors for your studio or performance space, consider our range of
specialist sprung dance floors. Couple with a Harlequin vinyl floor such as Harlequin Standfast to

TANAUAN CITY COLLEGE [COURSE CODE – MODULE No.] COURSE TITLE 6|P a g e
create an excellent quality floor for your Irish dancers.

Modern Dance

Considered as being a broad genre of dance, modern dance primarily arose from western
countries such as the USA and Germany during the late 1900s. While most forms of dance are
structured and feature set steps, the purpose of modern dance is to rely on the dancer’s
interpretation of the music and feeling to guide movements.

Modern dance was initially born out of dislike for the limitations of traditional dances such as ballet,
which often oppressed dancers with rigid rules and techniques.

Currently, modern dance is enjoyed across the world with participants having the ability to practice
ballet dancing without having to place strict focus on their techniques or turnout. Instead, dancers
can choose a piece of music and use unconventional movements to convey emotions or to tell a
meaningful story.

Inject even more creativity into your performance with Harlequin’s printed vinyl performance floors.
Print bespoke designs inspired by your choreography or choose from one of our standard
patterns. 

Due to the multidisciplinary nature and freedom of modern dance, dancers will also feel at home
on many of Harlequin’s vinyl dance floors.

Swing

Swing is a variation of jazz dance which developed between the 1920s to the 1940s as a response
to the growing popularity of swing jazz in America. With the evolution of music that occurred during
the Jazz era, dance also began to change with the likes of swing music encouraging faster, more
rigorous movements.

Popular forms of swing dance include the Lindy Charleston, the Jitterbug, Lindy Hop and the
Balboa, many of which are still performed today. Swing dancing would commonly be accompanied
by Big Band musicians who often played upbeat melodies which were smooth and easy to listen.

Swing dancers will feel at home on our range of vinyl dance floors. Similar to Jazz, Swing dancers
can create beautiful performances on Harlequin’s range of vinyl floors such as Harlequin
Reversible Pro with a high performance slip-resistant surface to protect your dancers.

From home dance practice equipment to portable ballet barres, Harlequin Floors offer a range of
professional products perfect for use at home or in the studio – no matter your dance style.  Our
expert technical teams also offer a dance floor installation service for your Harlequin floor to
ensure they are correctly fitted and fully compliant with safety standards.

Social and ballroom dances

Popular couple dances without set patterns are classified  as social and ballroom dances. Most
social dances are characterized by the man leading and the woman partner following whatever
steps, styling, and rhythmic variations he chooses and indicates.

Social dances are usually done to introduce people with one another during a formal social
gathering or to welcome guests to a social gathering. Many of the social dances like polka and
mazurka started as folk dances while some were deliberately designed for its social purpose, such
as the waltz, regoudon and polonaise (Nimor, 2006). Social dancing is believed to had existed
since the beginning of human society in some forms.

Ballroom dancing has lots of benefits for young people. It is less threatening to their young
developing bodies compared to many sports such as football, basketball and hockey that
endanger forming cartilage, break bones and in some cases disfigurement cause by various
swinging sticks and equipments. Ballroom dancing provides general conditioning for the body.
Mentally, it stretches the thinking and the “do – it” abilities of the young. The sense of achievement
is a confidence builder. Teamwork of couples is more stimulating to concentration and learning.
For older groups, competitive dancing is an excellent learning achievement and self-confidence.
Socially, the young people have an opportunity to interrelate with others, especially the opposite
sex, in a setting that includes discipline and emphasis on courtesy and consideration for others.
Ballroom dancing provides lesson on social skills that will be beneficial to the youth for the rest of
their lives.

Ballroom dance training offers unique advantages. It is not only a rhythmical exercise that adds
life, graceful muscular movements but it is also a group recreation. A child who has learned
ballroom dancing gains not only improved posture and coordination but ease in relationships with
companions. Dancing is one means of instilling graceful body coordination, it is also a muscular
activity that brings social ease. A girl who has learned to be a good ballroom dancer never fades
into a wall flower. A Boy who can dance is spared from many agonies of a teenage self –
consciousness. Children who dance well are popular, ones instilled, those ingredients of a good
manners are never forgotten. Ballroom dancing offers more than mere steps it includes charm of
manners and consideration of others.

your weight even on the soles of your shoes. No weight on the heel.

Dancing Personalities

        Dancing is an expression of one’s personality. We can read one’s personality and character
by the way he dances. Traits such as timidity, aggressiveness, and consideration for others,
arrogance, and other characteristics are revealed when people dance.

1.   Dancers who loves themselves--- point their toes too gracefully.

2.   The cuddly couples--- are fun to watch if they are not related to you.

3.   The bully type--- meanders around the dance floor, pushing his partner into everything that
comes his way.

4.   The casual dancers--- girl show that sloppy I don’t care posture and the man just shuffling
along.

5.   The possessive man--- holds tightly on his partner’s back. His posture is crouching as though
ready for a springing pounce.

6.   The jealous girl--- clings to her partner like a glue, looks up in his eyes and is always
tremendously attentive.

7.   The timid souls--- could almost sink to the floor if you stare at them. Males have an
apologetic manner and takes faltering steps, barely touches his partner. He is hard to follow
because he is too shy to lead. The girls of this type take uncertain steps, droop their arms and get
an until-death-do-us part grip on their partner.

The TCC Learning Module Component Details

Each course module shall independently design from students’ available resource to ensure
that students will learn from the designed teaching and learning materials. Further, it is intentionally
designed containing components with acronym PIVOT which is the same acronym of the City
Government and the College Core Values (Professionalism, Integrity, Value for Excellence, Open for
Innovation, Teamwork) to instill amongst TCCians the spirit of these core values exceptionally in the
midst of crisis.

r eliminaries. An introduction to the module objectives, contents, its rationale or purpose, list of
assignments, activities, lecture notes, test/quizzes, and due dates. This is a place to provide a
rationale and highlight the module’s relevance by describing how it fits into the course, and may
provide a brief overview of new material. It is also a place to remind students what they have already
learned and how this new information will build on their previous knowledge.

 Introduction: A general statement about the nature of the module and its relation to the
course as a whole. The introduction should not only introduce the topic of the module, but
should also forecast the content and organization of the module itself.
 Module Learning Objectives: These objectives should be the specific outcomes that relate to
each individual module, not the objectives that relate to the entire course. Students should be
explicitly and clearly told what they are expected to learn in each module. It is very important to
make sure that the module outcomes align properly with the assessments in the same module.
 Learning outcomes are direct statements that describe the knowledge, skills, and attitudes
that students are expected to reliably demonstrate in successfully completing a course. They
describe learning that is significant and durable– learning that really matters in the long term.
Learning Outcomes should be observable, assessable in some way, and both rigourous and
flexible (rigourous in that they specify the complexity of learning expected and flexible in that
the learning may be demonstrated in a variety of ways).

I
nstructions. This part of the module discourses the subject matter. It contains lectures and
instructions supported by any reading or visual material like instructor prepared text, PowerPoint
slides, Web sites, articles, graphic organizers, or other media and material. This would also be the
place to link discussion boards, audio files, video conferencing, and chat room discussions that are
serve as the means of interaction between students and faculty for this module period and help
students meet the objectives associated with this period of time in the course.

 Key Words and Concepts: A list of keywords with definitions, perhaps listed for emphasis so
that the student will be on the alert for an explanation or definition later in the module.
 Content Lectures/Discussions: This can be a very broad area to cover and may include
multiple topics separated into sections. Therefore, you may want to link your discussion to your
presentation related to the module.

V
iable and vibrant Activities. This is where faculty would list assignments/activities related to
this specific course module. This section contains activities that ways for students to engage
with each other in discussion and with the information and concepts. This section actively
TANAUAN CITY COLLEGE [COURSE CODE – MODULE No.] COURSE TITLE 26 | P a g e
engages students with the course material and explicitly practice or review, apply, analyze or
synthesize through discussion, exercises, laboratories, problem solving, case studies, role plays, test,
quiz, essay, journal or portfolio entry, peer evaluation, or self-evaluation and other methods.

 Collaborative and interactive activities that will facilitate communication between and
among students, including group projects, discussion questions, or other types of
communication and collaboration.
 Assignments. While the assignments were listed in the preliminaries, here is a chance to
describe the assignments in detail and to provide students with the needed information and
resources, including the due dates. If there are more than one type of assignment the module
may have a page for each.

O
pportunity to reflect and articulate students’ acquired knowledge. This section provides
clear and explicit details on how students will evaluate/ assess their work/performance. This
section encourages students to fill up the college Standard Learning Journal (SLJ), it further,
explained how the faculty will give feedback to students regarding their learning and accomplishment
of the module objectives.

 Evaluations. All assessments should contain detailed explanations of their purpose, with full
descriptions of how students are to complete and submit them. Assessment and Evaluation
tools are specified under this section.
 Summary and Reflection. This section provides a way to engage the student in a dialogue
