INTRODUCTION

Knowing and understanding the nature of a specific dance and mastering several of its techniques are
just a few steps in learning the dance as a whole. Bringing it to a different level such as a dance competition
challenges the dancer to a certain extent
and further enhances the experience.

What is a dance competition?

Dance competitions are where dancers show off and compare their skills with other dancers. Depending
on what is required of the dancers, the game is the main focus. Several dance genres, such as cheer dance
ballroom dance, street dance, and hip-hop dance, are done not just for entertainment but for competition as
well.

OBJECTIVES

1. Discuss the international standard for dance sport,

2. Realize the importance of knowing the characteristic of dance sport,
3. Self-assess in physical activity participation.

LESSON 2: Dance Sports

Dance sport is a combination of art and sport. It was called competition ballroom dancing in the past. This
goes with partners (male and female) competing against other partners dancing on the floor at one time.
Dance sport provides an avenue to gain the discipline of the body and mind of the dance athletes.
There are five Latin dances: Samba, Cha-cha-cha, Rumba, Paso Doble and Jive, and five Standard dances:
Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz, Slow Foxtrot and Quickstep, which contributed the dance style.

Characteristic of Dance Sport

Posture- enables a dancer to stand out on the floor, which shows sophistication and confidence

Hold- the correct position of the body with a partner in the closed position

balance and connection with his frame, as well as to project outwards to the audience.
Togetherness- dancing of two people as one on the dance floor
Musicality and expression- the basic characterization of the dance with the particular music being played and
the choreographic adherence to music phrasings and accents.
Presentation- how the couple presents their dancing to the audience as well as the proper costuming and
grooming.
Power- the energy that is controlled and not wild.
Foot and leg action- the use of lower extremities that creates balance, beauty and strength.
