Dances from the Past


Dance comes from the German word damson, which means “to stretch or “to drag”.
It developed as a natural expression of united feeling and action. Dance is
considered the mirror of the society because it responds to historical and religious
events as well as social and political statements.
Although there have been immense comparative differences in period and culture,
people still dance mainly for four reasons: (a) to please gods; (b) to please others;
(c) to please themselves; and (d) to build community within an ethnic group or
social interaction.

History and Development of Dance from the Different Periods


Dance during the Prehistoric Period
 It had been a major form of religious ritual and social expression within
primitive culture.
 It was used as a way of expression and reinforcing tribal unity and strength.
 It is based on superstition and infused with magic. Shamans as lead dancers
acted as physicians and religious leaders and kept tribes healthy, prosperous
and safe.
Dance During the Ancient Civilization
 Ancient Egypt.
 3,300 BCE (First Dancing). It is believed that the first people to dance were
the Egyptians. Archaeologists discovered paintings of dancing figures in
rock shelters and caves.
 As a way of expressing religious service and teaching ancient myth, three
(3) major dancers were evolved:
(1) the king;
(2) the priests who performed magical dances;
(3) virgin dancers who were trained to perform during ceremonies led by the
priests.
9

 Ancient Crete.
 The Cretan civilization (3000-1400 BC) was a cultural link in the ancient
world between Egyptians and Greeks.
 Cretans used dance to perfect their military training which made excellent.
 Ancient Greece.
 Dance was not just for religious and military training but also a form of
entertainment and display.
 Plato immensely gave importance to dance in education as stated in the
education on the Laws. He highlighted the two kinds of dance and music: the
noble (fin and honorable) and the ignoble (imitating what is mean or ugly).
 Ancient Rome.
 Gave less importance to dancing which eventually became an integral part of
the corruption in the latter days of the Roman Empire resulting in the
condemnation of dance by early Christians.
 Dance was primarily performed for religious, social and entertainment.
However, theatrical entertainment was prohibited but still existed and was
performed within church during religious ceremonies.
Dance during the Middle Ages and The Renaissance
 1400 (Ballet Comes into Play). Ballet started in this year in Italy, but didn’t
really become popular until around the year 1500. Ballet gained its popularity
when a lady of the arts, Catherine de Medici, married King Henry 11 and threw
festivals where they would perform ballet dances. Ballet is believed to be the
main core of every single dance style.
 A vast dance movement occurred throughout the courts of Europe in the 15th
and 16th centuries. During these times, new court dances performed by the
nobility came about as well as the rise of the art of ballet in Italy and France.
 Several other dance forms continued to sprout and spread across several
countries.

MODULE 2: Dancing toward the 21st Century

Dancing toward the 21st Century


Modern History
 Dance During the Late 16th and 17th Centuries (1501-1700)
 1600 (Masque Dancing). Masque dancing started from elaborate pageants and
shows in the 16th century. Masque dancing involved intricate costuming and
stage designing that also incorporated singing and acting as well as dancing.
It was often used as a court entertainment.
 A period in the history of dance in Italy, France, and England which was
considered to be pleasantly deep and rich. France became the forerunner in
dance during this period.
 Dance increased as a court amusement and later transformed into
professional entertainment.

Dance During the 18th Century (1701-1800)


 1795 (Classical Persian Dancing). This style of dance evolved from courtroom
dancing. An era influencing Persian dance was the Qajar Dynasty which
lasted from 1795 to 1925. Dancers would perform artistic and lively dances for
the Shah. The music is usually played by a small band.
 1800 (Tippity Tappity, Time for Tap). Tap dancing originated from African
tribe dancing. Tap dancing makes percussion sounds because of dancers most
commonly wearing leather shoes with two pieces of metal and clip and clap
against hard floors. Tap is still very popular to this day.
11

Dance during the 19th Century (1801-1900)


 1890 (Merengue Dancing). It is a Caribbean dance style that involves partners
holding each other in a tango-like position and moving their hips side to side.
 1900 (Jazz and Acro). It involves doing smooth and flexible movements, and
lots of back bending and tricks. Both styles are widely popular to this day.
 Ballroom dances also emerged during this period like Cotillion, Polonaise,
Quadrille, Waltz and Polka.

20th Century Dances (1901-2000)


 Described as a period of “dance fever” wherein the young and old alike were
not limited to express emotions through dance.
 1950 (Contemporary Dance). Contemporary dance is a style that combines
jazz, ballet, and modern dance. It can be many different styles, but most of
the time it is melancholy and or intense.
 1970 (Hip Hop Dance). There are many styles of hip hop that include
breaking, popping, locking, and more. Street dance was performed both in
night clubs and on the streets. It is associated with funk, breakdancing, and
hip-hop.
 Several social dance movements also evolved such as castle walk, tango,
foxtrot, Charleston, Lindy Hop, Rumba, Mambo, Cha-Cha-Cha, Samba, Bossa
Nova, Boogaloo and Twist.
 Popular fad dances also emerged like YMCA and Macarena.

21st Century Dance (2001- Present)


 2018 (Dance Nowadays). Today's dance style has taken a turn towards more
hip hop dances. Small and popular dances that involve hip hop and that most
everyone can achieve include the whip and nae nae, Gangnam Style (it’s a
little old), shooting, and more.

Week 3

MODULE 3: Health-Related Fitness (HRF) and FITT Principles

The Health-Related Fitness Components


Before engaging any physical activities, you need to self- assess your health-related
fitness status and determine barriers to physical activity participation. Health-
related fitness involves exercise activities that you do in order to try to improve
your physical health and stay healthy.

Cardiovascular endurance is the ability of the heart and lungs to work together to
provide the needed oxygen and fuel to the body during sustained workloads. The 3-
minute Step Test is used to test cardiovascular endurance.
Muscular strength is the amount of force a muscle can produce. The Push-Up Test
is most often used to test muscular strength.
Muscular endurance is the ability of the muscles to perform continuous without
fatiguing. The Basic Plank is most often used to test muscular endurance.
Flexibility is the ability of each joint to move through the available range of motion
for a specific joint. The Zipper Test and Sit and Reach Test is frequently used to test
body flexibility.
Body composition is the amount of fat mass compared to lean muscle mass, bones
and organs. The BMI is defined as the body mass divided by the square of the body
height, and is universally expressed

Getting FITT with Dance


When engaging in any form of dance, always consider the FITT (Frequency,
Intensity, Time, Type) principle of training to be able to perform efficiently and
minimize unnecessary body stress and injury.
13

Frequency (How Often) - number of training sessions that are performed during a
given period (usually one week). About 3 to 4 times per week or more are the
recommended times of exercise for an individual. Rest or easy days are in between
to allow your body to recover from physical exertion.
Example:

Intensity (How Hard) - an individual’s level of effort (light, moderate, vigorous).


Example:

This Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale below is used to measure the intensity
of your exercise/ physical activity. This value gives a reference point for an
individual’s internal load which can be compared with others during a similar
session.
14

Time (How Long) - duration of a workout (including warm-up and cool-down) or


the length of time spent in training. To improve health-related fitness, trainers
recommend 20 to 30 minutes of nonstop exercise. Time should be decreasing as the
intensity of the activity is increasing.
Example:

Type (What Kind) - mode of physical activity (swimming, jogging, dancing).

Hiphop
Brief History

The word hip-hop was derived from the word “hep”, an African-American
vernacular English language since 1904 which means “current”. It was apparently
invented by a New York rapper Kevin Donovan, (known as Afrika Bambaataa), who
was dubbed as the Grandfather of Hip-hop. The dancing style of Hip-Hop
developed from the music style that was first introduced during the 1970s in New
York City among young Hispanic and African-American communities and was
made popular in the 1980s by media’s exposure of several hip-hop dance groups in
America. These groups of young people were looking for a creative outlet to vent
their frustrations and disappointments with society. It started with funky beats
reverberating at house or basement parties and the streets of New York. Hip-hop
evolved as a street dance which was a cultural dance variation in the United States
and is generally a form of entertainment where technical and teachable dance
aspects replaced the cultural symbolism and message of the true essence of African-
American hip-hop dance. The word street dance arrived in the Philippines from the
United States during the 1980s but only gained unparalleled popularity during the
1990s. There are various street dance battles held locally across the country as well
as hip-hop dance competitions internationally. The first Philippine Team who won
the World Hip Hop Dance Championships is the Philippine All Stars. One of the
pioneers of street dance in the Philippines is Jungee Marcelo. Marcelo started the
first formal street dance class in the Philippines after arriving from US in 1991. After
almost 11 years of living in a community dominated by African-Americans in Los
Angeles, he brought with him his knowledge of urban dance in the country.

Nature and Characteristics:

The movement of hip-hop dance contains an assertive angularity of body


posture and an insistent virtuosic rhythmicity.
It is freestyle in nature and maybe practiced in either a dance studio or in an
open space outdoor.
It consists of four fundamental characteristics such as rapping (MCing); Disc
jockeying (DJing); Break dancing (B-boying); and Graffiti Art (Aerosol Art).
Can also be described by elements such as bounce or recoil, tightening of the
body, agility and coordination, and fun.
19

It has several styles that comprise two main categories, the Old school
(breaking, popping, and locking) and the New school (house, krumping,
street jazz).

Fundamental Movements:

CHAPTER 6
Week 6

MODULE 6: Cheerdance

Brief History
Cheer dance is a physical activity with a combination of different dance genre and
gymnastics skills such as tumbling, pyramids, tosses and stunts. The routines
usually range anywhere from one to three minutes and they are done to direct
spectators to cheer for sports teams or participate in cheer dance competition.
Cheer dance is relatively new in the field of sports and dance as it has only emerged
during the 1990s as part of the cheerleading events. Cheerleading history is linked
closely to the United States history of sports, its sporting venues, as well as the
historical development of over-all crowd participation at many athletic events.
However, its origins can be traced as far back as the late 19th century where in
1860s, students from Great Britain began to cheer and chant in unison for their
favorite athletes at sporting events. This event eventually reached and influenced
America. Cheerleading for the first 25 years was an all-male activity. It was only
during the 1920s when women cheerleaders participated in cheerleading.

Nature and Characteristics:


As a dance technique, some squad prefer contemporary dance techniques,
while others incorporate several techniques such as jazz, hip-hop, modern
dance, contemporary ballet and ethnic of folk. Emphasis is on the placement,
sharpness and synchronicity of the movements.
There must be cheers which are coordination of organized words and
movements relating to an athletic event. These are used during a sport event
when play has been stopped on the field or court.
Cheer motions are also used to lead the crowd and emphasize words for
crowd response. These are made up of hand, arm, and body positions.

CHAPTER 7
Week 7

MODULE 7: Exercise Physiology Indicators

Dance is mainly an integrated art form between technical and expressive aspects. In
addition, since most dance performance requires high physiological capacity due to
its characteristics included a moderate-high intensity, high skill, and predominantly
intermittent activity. When trying to develop cardio-respiratory, the intensity of
exercise must not be ignored. The intensity of exercise or Training Intensity (TI)
can be calculated easily, and training can be monitored by identifying your resting
heart rate (pulse beat at rest), maximal heart rate and heart rate reserved.

The Resting Heart Rate (RHR)

Your pulse is your heart rate, or the number of times your heart beats in one
minute. Pulse rates vary from person to person. Your pulse is lower when you are at
rest and increases when you exercise (more oxygen-rich blood is needed by the
body when you exercise). Knowing how to take your pulse can help you evaluate
your exercise program. To get your pulse beat, follow the steps:

1. Place the tips of your index, second and third fingers on the palm side of your
other wrist below the base of the thumb or, place the tips of your index and second
fingers on your lower neck on either side of your windpipe.

2. Press lightly with your fingers until you feel the blood pulsing beneath your
fingers. You may need to move your fingers around slightly up or down until you
30

feel the pulsing. Use a watch with a second hand, or look at a clock with a second
hand.

3. Count the beats you feel for 10 seconds. Multiply this number by six to get your
heart rate (pulse) per minute.

4. Compute using the formula: RHR = Pulse: ____ beats in 10 seconds x 6 = ____
beats per minute (bpm).

Normal heart rates at rest for children whose age is 6 to15 is 70 to 100 bpm while
adults whose age is 18 and over is 60 to 100 bpm.

The Maximal Heart Rate (MHR)

Maximal Heart Rate (MHR) is the maximum number of beats made by your heart in
1 minute of effort. When walking quickly, you will be in an endurance zone, with a
heart rate of between 60% and 75% of your maximum heart rate (MHR). Knowing
your rate means listening to your body. Recent research indicates that the
traditional equation of 220 – age over predicts maximal heart rate (MHR) in people
40 years and younger, and under predicts MHR in individuals above 40 years old.
Instead, it is advisable to use 207 as constant MHR from birth that decreases by 1
beat per year.

The Heart Rate Reserved (HRR)

Heart Rate Reserve (HRR) is the difference between your Resting Heart Rate and
your Maximum Heart Rate. It is used primarily for determining heart rate zones
during exercise, and the amount of cushion in heartbeats available for exercise.
Health and cardio-respiratory (CR) fitness benefits result when a person is working
between 30 to 85 percent of heart rate reserve (HRR) combined with an appropriate
duration and frequency of training. Health benefits are achieved when training at a
lower exercise intensity that is between 30 to 60 percent of the person’s HRR. Even
greater health and cardio protective benefits, and higher and faster improvements
in CR fitness (VO2max), however are achieved primarily though vigorous intensity
programs (at intensity above 60 percent). To compute for your HRR, subtract the
resting heart rate from the maximal heart rate: HRR = MHR – RHR.
31

The Target Heart Rate (THR)

Target Heart Rate (THR) is generally expressed as a percentage (usually between 50


percent and 85 percent) of your maximum safe heart rate. This is used to identify
Training Intensity (TI). Training intensity is the amount of effort you are putting in
to whatever exercise you are doing. Walking a dog will (most of the time) be low to
medium intensity based on your speed of walking but running with your dog will be
high intensity. The TI of a person can be measured in different levels such as
follows:

1. low intensity (heart rate is 68-to-92 beats per minute);


2. moderate intensity (heart rate is 93-to-118 beats per minute); and
3. high intensity (heart rate is more than 119 beats per minute).

In participating low (or light) activities, a person should have at least 30-40% MHR.
For moderate activities, it is recommended to have at least 50-60% MHR. For high
(or vigorous) activities, it is good to have at least or greater than 70% MHR.
To determine the intensity of exercise or cardio-respiratory training zone according
to heart rate reserve, follow these steps:
Estimate your maximal heart rate (MHR) according to the following formula:
MHR = 207 – (0.7 x age)
Check your resting heart rate (RHR) for a full minute in the evening, after you
have been sitting quietly for about 30 minutes reading or watching a relaxing
TV show.
Determine the heart rate reserve (HRR)
Calculate the Training Intensity (TI) at 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 85 percent.
Multiply the heart rate reserve by respective 0.30, 0.40, 0.50, 0.60, 0.70, and
0.85, and then add the resting heart rate to all four of these figures (e.g., 60%
TI = HRR x .60 + RHR).

Example: The 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 85 percent TIs for a 20-year-old with a RHR of
68 bpm would be as follows:

The Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE)


When your body is challenged to do more than what is used to, changes in your
body start to occur. If the physical activity is too easy for your body, changes, if any,
would be minimal. Hence your body should be challenged and more effort should
be exerted. The Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is a way of measuring
physical activity intensity level. Perceived exertion is how hard you feel like your
body is working. In conducting physical activity, consider the Rate of Perceived
Exertion (RPE):

To determine your approximate heart rate, simply multiply your Borg's RPE by 10.
For instance, an RPE score of 16 × 10 = 160 beats per minute. The scale was designed
with the average healthy adult in mind.

Brief History, Nature and Characteristics


Standard ballroom dances are smooth, flowing ballroom dances that move around
the entire dance floor in a counterclockwise movement. The international Standard
and International Latin techniques were codified by the Imperial Society of Teacher
of Dance (ISTD) to come up with a unified syllabus for all those interested in
learning ballroom dancing. These include Foxtrot, Waltz, Tango, and Quick Step.
Foxtrot
 Was named after an American performer Harry Fox, which was premiered in
1914.
 It is an elegant dance whose objective is to travel smoothly around the dance
floor.
 The time signature is 4/4 with the first and third beats accented.
 “Slow” count = 2 beats. “Quick count = 1 beat.
 Counting in beats and bars: 1 2 3 4, 2 2 3 4, 3 2 3 4, 4 2 3 4, etc.
36

Waltz
 Was introduced in England in 1874 but it was in 1922 that it became as
fashionable as Tango. Waltz’s steps have already undergone change and
improvements as well and as a result of this, many more variations became
possible. It is also considered by some as “mother of present-day dances” and
the “backbone dance” of the ballroom.
 It is a smooth, progressive dance that travels around the line of dance,
characterized by its “rise and fall” action.
 The time signature is 3/4 with the first beat accented.
 Each step = 1 beat.
 Counting in beats and bars: 1 2 3, 2 2 3, 3 2 3, 4 2 3, etc.

Tango
 Was first danced in Europe before World War I. The word “tango” may be
an African term for “closed space” or “reserved ground,” or it may be from
the Latin verb tanguere which mean “to touch”. It originates from Buenos
Aires (Argentina) where it was first danced in “Barrio de Las Rana”, the
ghetto of Buenos Aires.
 It is a sensual ballroom dance that originated in South America during the
early 20th century.
 The time signature is 2/4 with both beats accented.
 “Slow” count = 1 beat. “Quick” count = 1/2 beat.
 Counting in beats and bars: 1 2, 1 and 2, etc.

Quick Step
 Was developed during World War I in New York and became popular in
ballrooms. It has a common origin as that of the Foxtrot.
 It is an up-and-down, rise-and-fall swinging motion performed at a fast
pace. Music used is usually jazz or swing with a brisk tempo. It is little
faster than brisk walking, although it seems much faster for beginners.
 The time signature is 4/4 with the first and third beats accented.
 “Slow” count = 2 beats. “Quick” count = 1 beat.
 Counting in beats and bars: 1 2 3 4, 2 2 3 4, 3 2 3 4, 4 2 3 4, etc.

MODULE 11: Hydration and Overexertion in Dancing

Dehydration, overexertion, hypo-and hyperthermia maybe experienced during


participation to moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Dancers sweat as
they generate heat during training, rehearsal, and performance. This is how the
body cools itself. This loss of fluid, however, can lead to dehydration, resulting in
dizziness, lack of energy, inability to concentrate, sore muscles, and lackluster
performance. This loose of fluid, however can lead to dehydration which may lead
to hypothermia and hyperthermia where there is an increase or decrease of heat
production of body temperature. Pushing you too hard during physical activity may
also cause overexertion leading to dizziness, feeling faint and lightheadedness.
These may affect your dancing performance and your over-all health status will be
at stake. Observing some safety protocols can help avoid dehydration, overexertion,
hypo-and hyperthermia.

Dehydration and Hydration


Dehydration is caused by not drinking enough fluid or by losing more fluid than
you take in. Fluid is lost through sweat, tears, vomiting, urine or diarrhea. The
severity of dehydration can depend on a number of factors, such as climate, level of
physical activity and diet. Consider the following safety protocols to avoid
dehydration:
 Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Drinking enough water each day is
crucial for many reasons:
1. to regulate body temperature;
2. to keep joints lubricated;
3. to prevent infections;
58

4. to deliver nutrients to cells; and


5. to keep organs functioning properly.
 Eat foods with high amounts of water like fruits and vegetables.
 Avoid or limit drinks with caffeine like coffee, teas and soft drinks.
 Avoid or limit drinks with alcohol.
Physical activity therefore results in increased water requirements that parallel
sweat losses. If these hydration needs for exercise are not met, the body can enter a
state of dehydration. Dehydration during physical activity is recognized as having a
detrimental effect. Staying well hydrated: before, during and after exercise is very
important.

Overexertion
Overexertion occurs when people push themselves too hard during physical
activity. Signs of overexertion includes dizziness, and feeling faint. Feeling dizzy
after a moderate to vigorous physical activity is a common occurrence. Considering
safety protocols in order to avoid dizziness as a result to overexertion is to:
 cool down and rest for a few minutes;
 sit down and place the head between the knees to increases blood flow to the
brain;
 practice deep breathing for several minutes, making sure to inhale and exhale
slowly;
 stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids before, during, and after physical
activity;
 eat something (a snack) of complex carbohydrates and lean proteins (an hour
or so before a workout is advisable);
 increase the intensity of workouts gradually and avoid pushing the body too
hard;
 quit smoking.

Hyperthermia and Hypothermia


Hyperthermia and Hypothermia are both conditions that may occur when the body
can no longer release enough of its heat to maintain a normal temperature. The
body has different coping mechanisms to get rid of excess body heat, largely
breathing, sweating, and increasing blood flow to the surface of the skin.
Hyperthermia differs from fever to which the body's temperature set point remains
unchanged. The opposite is hypothermia, which occurs when the temperature
drops below that required maintaining normal metabolism. Heat exhaustion is one
of the more serious stages of hyperthermia. Any activity that involves exercise in
warm, and humid environments increases the risk of this condition. Some safety
protocols may help prevent this condition such as:
59

 getting out of the cold, wind, or rain if possible,


 adding warm layers of clothing;
 wearing loose clothing in multiple layers. To prevent yourself from sweating
and cooling down too much, remove a layer if you get hot. Looser clothing
retains heat well, but your sleeves should fit snugly at the wrists.
 eating enough food with enough source of carbohydrates;
 drinking fluids;
 moving your body to help warm your core;
 preventing more serious problems, take action as soon as you notice early
signs of the condition;

MODULE 13: Festival Dance

In this module, you are expected to attain the following objectives:


a. Undertakes physical activity and physical fitness assessments
b. Executes the skills involved in the dance

Festival dances are cultural dances performed to the strong beats of


percussion instruments by a community of people sharing the same culture usually
done in honor of a Patron Saint or in thanksgiving of a bountiful harvest. Festival
dances may be religious or secular in nature. But the best thing about festivals is
that they add to the merry-making and festivities where they are celebrated, the
reason why they are called festival dances after all. Festival dances draw the people’s
culture by portraying the people’s ways of life through movements, costumes and
implements inherent to their place of origin.
Some of the famous festivals in the country include Sinulog of Cebu,
Dinagyang of Iloilo, Atiatihan of Kalibo, Aklan, Buyogan and Lingayan of Leyte,
Bangus of Dagupan, T’nalak of South Cotabato, Masskara of Bacolod City, Bambanti
of Isabela, and Kadayawan of Davao. Many others, especially from Luzon, are now
paving their way to join the country’s festival of festivals, the Aliwan Fiesta which is
done in the month of April. Filipinos do festivals primarily to celebrate.
There are a multitude of reasons for this reason. We celebrate our unity amidst the
diversity of cultures and we celebrate our industry bringing about a bountiful
harvest. Festivals have been a consistent crowd-producing activity leading to
upliftment of a community’s economy due to its tourism and entertainment value.
Basically, festivals are a form of entertainment that attracts
63

foreign and domestic tourists to visit a place eventually leading to the elevation of
the Filipino’s quality of life.
Whatever festival we celebrate, be it done to honor a religious icon or
celebrate our industry. Festival dances are a reflection of the unity of the Filipino
community that despite the economic, social, environmental, cultural and political
challenges we face every day, there can be no other race more resilient than ours.

BASIC MOVEMENTS KILLS


LOCOMOTOR MOVEMENTS:
These are movements that allow the body to move from one point in space to
another. It is canned from two words, “locos” which means place and “motor” which
means movement.
They include the following:

Step - This is the basis of all locomotor movements. It prepares you to move in any
direction you wish to go. It is defined as transfer of weight from one foot to the
other.

Walk - Series of steps executed by both of your feet alternately in any direction. In
executing a walk, observe that there’s this moment when both feet are in contact
with the ground while one foot supports the weight and transfers it to the other.

Run - Series of walks executed quickly in any direction wherein only one-foot stays
on the ground while the other is off the ground.

Jump - This movement is simply described by having both feet lose its contact with
the ground

NON-LOCOMOTOR MOVEMENTS:
These are movements that are done in one point in space without transferring to
another point. They don’t allow you to move from one place to the other. These
movements include:

Flexion - It is the act of decreasing the angle of a joint. Another term for flexion is to
bend.

Extension - This is the opposite of flexion. You are extending if you are increasing
the angle of a joint. Stretching is another word for extension.
Contraction - A muscle movement done when it shortens, narrows and tightens
using sufficient amount of energy in the execution.
65

Release - A muscle movement opposite to contraction done when it let goes or let
looses of being held into a shortening movement.

Collapse - To deliberately drop the exertion of energy into a body segment.

Recover - The opposite of collapse. This is to regain the energy exerted into a body
segment.

Rotation - To rotate is to move a body segment allowing it to complete a circle with


its motion. It’s not only limited to circumduction which is done in ball and socket
joints. Rotation can also be done in wrists, waist, knees and ankles.

Twist - To move a body segment from an axis halfway front or back or quarter to
the right or left as in the twisting of the neck allowing the head to face right or left
and the like.

Pivot - To change the position of the feet or any body part that carries the body’s
weight allowing the body to face in a less than 360 degrees turn.

Turn - To move in a turning movement with a base of support, usually a pointed


foot, the other raised, while equilibrium is maintained until the completion of the
turn.

Elements of movements in space

Rhythm - Regular recurrence of a beat. It may be regular or irregular. In basic


music, rhythm is regular and metered (24, 34 or 44). They be slow, moderate or fast.
This element of rhythm is called tempo. Music dictates the speed of movements we
create.

Level - This refers to the level of movement. It may be low, when knees are fully or
slightly bent when executing movement; medium, if knees are normally straight
when executing movement; high, if the heels are raised or movements are done
while off the floor.

Range - This element refers to the scope of movement execution. It is dictated by


the space provided. If the space is wide then movements shall be wide and big. If
space is limited then movements shall be small and limited too.

Floor Patter/Design - This refers to the designs created on the floor by the bodies of
dancers. They may be geometric or non-geometric formations.

Direction - This element adds to variety of movement. They may be performed


forward, backward, sideward or even upward.

Focus - This is the focal point of dancers’ attention while moving in space.

CHAPTER 14
Week 14

MODULE 14: Philippine Folk Dance

“Dance is an art which deals with the motions of the human body”
-James K. Feibleman, a great philosopher

Dance is an art of rhythmic bodily movements that projects ordered sequence of


moving visual patterns of line, solid, shape, and color (Thomas Munro in Kraus and
Gaufman, 1981). The postures and gestures of which these visual patterns are
created suggest kinesthetic experiences of tension, relaxation, and emotional moods
and attitudes associated with them. Some of these dances that are considered an art
form are folk dance, ballet, and contemporary dance.

PHILIPPINE FOLK DANCE

What is folk dance?

Folk dances are the indigenous dances of any specific “folk” or the common people.
They are traditional customary or recreational dance forms of a given country
which have evolved naturally and were handed down across generations.

Folk dances are related to everything of importance in or daily lives, such as


customs, rituals, and occupations of a specific group of people. Most of these
dances are related in origin to religious belief, stemming from emotions,
superstitious, festivals, ceremonies of birth, courtship, marriage, death, war, and
countless themes common to all people around the world. According to Duggan
Schlottmann and Rutledge (1948)’’folk dance became the overt expression of
69

emotion and ideas which were peculiarly significant or the re-enactment of customs
and events constituting an important part of their history a patterns of daily living.’

Lopez (2006) defined Philippine folk dance as ‘’a traditional mode of expression
that employs bodily movement of redundant patterns linked to definitive feature of
rhythmic beat or music ‘’She further stated that Philippine folk dance, to be called
such, should have the following characteristic’:
1. It is traditional
2. It has an expressive behavior.
3. Simple, basic rhythm dominates the folk dance and establishes the patterns
movement
4. It is created by an unknown choreographer or by communal efforts.
5. It performs a function in the life the (folk) people.

Oftentimes, the term folk dance is being confused or used interchangeably with
ethnic and national dance.

What are differences between folk, national and ethnic dances?


Folk dances are traditional dances found in a certain country while national dances
are also traditional folk dances but have a national scope. They are popular and
widely danced throughout a given country, often with a number of regional
variations.

The Philippine dances Cariňosa, Curacha, and Pandanggo, for example, have
several variations coming from both Luzon and Visayas Islands. Even within one
locality, dancers have different ways of performing it. Examples of Pandanggo
dances are:
• Pandanggo Ilocano
• Pandanggo Visayan
• Pandanggo Dumagueteňo
• Pandanggo Ivatan
• Padanggo Rinconada
• Pandanggo sa Ilaw

In the Philippines, dances originating from the Ifugao people of the northern
Luzon, T’boli tribe from Southern Mindanao, and Tgabanua tribe from Palawan are
examples of ethnic dances. Below are few examples of the different types of ethnic
dances:
70

1. Ritual Dances- dances that depict ritual ceremonies. Examples are Dugso
(Bukidnon) and Pagdidiwata (Palawan).
2. Life-cycle dances- dances relating to the cycle of human life such as birthing,
courtship, wedding, and funeral. Examples are Binasuan (Pangasinan) and Daling-
daling (Muslim cousthip dance from Sulu).
3. Occupational Dances- dances that exhibit work and occupation of the dancers.
Examples are Mag-Asik (Cotabato) and Manaagat (Cebu) dances.

All national and ethnic dance are folk dances, but not all folk dances are considered
national or ethnic dances.

What are the different types of Philippine folk dances?


There are several ways to classify Philippine folk dances. According to
Francisca Reyes-Aquino, folk dances may be classified by geographical extent of
origin, nature, speed, of movement, formation, and distinguishing feature. Lately,
folkloric specialists merged regional and functional classifications to sort out the
different dance materials (Lopez, 2006)
The three major regional classifications of Philippine folk dances from the
Cordilleras, are dances from lowland Christians, and Muslim dances.
1. Tribal dances from the Cordilleras- include non-Christian dances from the
Cordilleras.
2. Lowland Christian dances- dances coming from places with Western influences
such as that of the Tagalogs, Ilokanos, Pampangueňos, Pangasinense, Bisayans, and
Bcolanas. These dances are influenced by Hispanic and European cultures.
3. Muslim dances- dances from the people of the Southern Islands of the
Philippines such as in Mindanao and Sulu. These dances are influenced by Arabic
and Indo-Malayan cultures.

Philippines folk dances, regardless of their classifications, may also be categorized


as:
1. Life- cycle dances- dances that serve as ritual as one passes to a different stage in
life such as from birth to childhood to adulthood; from singlehood to marriage; and
from life to death. Below are the different dances that portray life cycle:
a. Courtship dance
b. Wedding dance
c. Funeral dance
2. Festival dances- dances that are either religious or secular and are connected with
the celebration of recurring events of special significance.
3. Occupational dances- dances that exhibit work and occupation of the dancers.
Examples are Mag-asik( Cotabato) and Mananagat (Cebu) dances.
71

Activity 1.Examining the Background of a Philippine Folk Dance


1. Search and choose one from any of the resources you have for Philippine folk
dance. Answer the following questions:
a. Where does the dance come from?(trace the place or province of origin)
b. Is it a national or ethnic dance?
if ethnic:

• What is the nature of the dance? Is it ritual? Life cycle or occupational?
If national:
• What is the classification of the dance?
c. What is the motif or theme of the dance?
d. What are the rhythmic patterns?
2. Describe briefly the background of the dance you chose.

MODULE 15-16: Ballet

BALLET
Ballet was taken from the Itallian word ballare, meaning to dance, and ballo,
referring to dances performed in a ballroom. There are several definitions of ballet
from different authors:

1. Ballet according to Haskell (1965), is a:


“combination of the arts of dancing, poetry, music and painting. The essential
quality of the ballet dancer is grace that is phrasing, fluidity, harmony, the making
of words into a poetic whole; bound up with the reaction to music that goes far
deeper than a purely rhythmic reaction.

2. Burian (1963) further that:


“Ballet is an artistic, programmatic, scenic dance accompanied by music. It is
basically a special and generally unique form, which resulted from the synthesis,
collaboration and equilibrium of several different types of art. The art of gestures
and mime interprets, by specific means of expression, the thematic and emotional
content of the scenario on which it is based, bringing the poets ideas to life,
presenting the story with all its conflicts, plots, and solutions.

Brief history of Ballet


It was in the 15th century during the Renaissance when ballet began in Italy. It
started as a performance in the royal court where the male servants would execute a
movement related to the course they are serving during a court dinner. At that
time, the French king, Francis I of the House Valois had many contacts with Italy
and was able to witness one of the dinner ballets. He knew many outstanding
73

figures of the Italian Renaissance and he became well acquainted with the ideas and
artistic efforts that developed and flourished in Europe.
Francis’ son Henry II, his successor to the throne, married Catherine de
Medici. It was during de Medici’s reign as a queen that marked the staging of ballet.
She brought it to France from Italy and further developed at the French courts
during the 16th century.

Ballet in the Philippines


The American colonization paved the way for the introduction of classical
ballet in the Philippines. In 1915, distinguished ballet dancer Paul Nijinsky
performed classical ballet at the Manila Hotel Roof Garden.
In 1927, Luva Adameit came to the Philippines and started a ballet school. She
trained the first ballet dancers in the country.
From then on, ballet has thrived of foreign teachers and performers to
perform and teach as well. It paved the way to “a receptive outlook towards the
artistic values of the art form”.
Although ballet in the Philippines started a little later compared to European
and Western counties, it does not fall far behind when it comes to producing world-
class ballet performances. Several ballet companies such as Ballet Philippines and
Ballet Manila have prospered and are recognized internationally. They also have
trained and produced dancers of international caliber.
Ballet Philippines founded in 1969 by Alice Reyes with the support of Eddie
Elejar and the Cultural Center of the Philippines, Ballet Philippines (BP) is widely
recognized today as a cornerstone of the Filipino cultural identity.

What are the basic dance positions in ballet?


The ballet technique is based on the five positions of the feet. The feet in each
position are always parallel with each other with an outward rotation of the legs
called turn out. This provides freedom of movement in any direction and making
the execution of the most difficult movements look effortless and graceful. There
are five ballet positions: first, second, third, fourth and fifth.

MODULE 18: Modern Dance

MODERN DANCE

Modern dance, a term to describe contemporary dance, is a style of dancing


where dancers are free to express their feelings through movements without
adhering to any rules in dance particularly that of ballet. It is actually a rebellion
against the confining nature of classical ballet (Horwitz, in Reynolds, 19979).

CHARACTERISTICS OF MODERN DANCE


1. Technique- This teaches the dancer to control the body and making it the
instrument. It also provides the skills of dance movement to make the body
move efficiently and with precision. There are several techniques from various
modern dance choreographer but the main goal of each technique is “to
develop an instrument, which is the human body, that is capable of
expressing any and all aspects of human behavior” (Horwitz in Reynold,
1979).

Famous techniques in modern dance:


• Graham Technique
• Humphrey-Weidman Technique
• Limon Technique
• Cunningham Technique
• Hawkins Technique
• Horton Technique
• Nikolais/Louis Technique
77

2. Improvisation- this refers to the spontaneous movement performed by


dancers in response to suggestions by the choreographer. Various images,
ideas, feelings, or other stimulating events may be motivations for
improvisations. Modern dance allows considerable freedom to the dancer.

3. Choreography- modern dance allows choreographic freedom. The form in this


dance mostly represents the personal and emotional experiences of its
creators. The intent and style of the dance choreography are not limited to
certain areas or subject matters, giving the choreographers freedom to choose
their own. (Minton, 1984)

Where did modern dance come from?


Modern dance developed independently in America and Germany. It was
then known in Germany as Ausdruckstanz, meaning expressive dance. At the
beginning of the 20th century, a group of pioneering dancers started creating a new
movement that suited the tempo and pulse of the new century.

What are the basic modern dance skills?


Modern dance movements are based on basic locomotor and non-locomotor
movement skills. It is the application and the incorporation of the meaning of the
movement that turns the simple movements to dance movements. The following
are the basic modern dance skills:
1. Dance walk
2. Run
3. Triplet
4. Waltz
5. Gallop
6. Slide
7. Jumps
8. Leap
9. Falling
10. Rolls
11. turns

PERFORMANCE TASK
-create a routine of Modern Dance with or without a partner.
-consist of 3-5 minutes only.
-Use appropriate music for the dance. You can add variations to the dance if you
want by watching video tutorials on YouTube.
-Submit the video output to your teacher via messenger.
