dances are being anchored.

Hi. Good day! How are you? I hope you’re doing fine.
I am very excited to meet you and introduce to you our lesson
for this module 2. I’m sure you will enjoy it.
This module is all about dances. It will inform you
about the brief history and nature of dance, its elements and
benefits. You will also be going to review the different
Philippine folk dances. I am very excited to share all of this to

What is Dance?

Dancing is the movement of the body in a rhythmic way, usually to music and within a given space,
for the purpose of expressing an idea or emotion, releasing energy, or simply taking delight in the
movement itself.
“Dance is an activity which can take many forms and fill many different needs. It can be
recreation, entertainment, education, therapy, and religion. In its purest and most basic form,
dance is art, the art of body movement.” (Barbara Mettler, 1980)

According to (Myers, 2005), dance due to its

multidimensional provide a variety of functions
throughout history. Although there have been
immense comparative differences in period a
culture, people still dance primarily for four
seasons. They are the following:
a. To please the gods
b. To please others
c. To please themselves or self-expression
d. To build community within an ethnic group or social interaction
 Brief History of Dance
From the earliest moments of known human history, dance accompanied ancient rituals, spiritual
gatherings and social events. As a conduit of trance, spiritual force, pleasure, expression, performance and
interaction, dance became infused into our nature from the earliest moments of our existence - from the
moment when first African tribes covered themselves in war-paint to the to the spreading of music and
dance across all four corners of the world. Without a doubt, dancing remains one of the most expressive
forms of communications that we know.
The oldest proof of existence of dancing comes from the 9000 year old cave paintings that were found
in India, which depicts various scenes of hunting, childbirth, religious rites, burials and most importantly,
communal drinking and dancing. Since dancing itself cannot leave clearly identifiable archeological artifacts
that can be found today, scientist looked for secondary clues, written word, stone carvings, paintings and
similar artifacts. Period when dancing became widespread can be traced to the third millennia BC, when
Egyptians started using dance as integral parts of their religious ceremonies. Judging by the many tomb
paintings that survived the tooth of time, Egyptian priests used musical instruments and dancers to mimic
important events - stories of gods and cosmic patterns of moving stars and sun.
This tradition continued in ancient Greece, where dance was used very regular and openly to public
(which eventually brought the birth of the famous Greek theatre in 6th century BC). Ancient paintings from
1st millennia clearly speak of many dance rituals in Greek culture, most notably the one before start of each
Olympian Games, precursor to the modern Olympic Games. As centuries went on, many other religions
infused dance in the core of their rituals, such as Hindu dance "Bharata Nhatyam" which is preformed even
today.
Of course, not all dances in those ancient times were intended for religious purposes. Ordinary people
used dance for celebration, entertainment, seduction and to induce the mood of frenzied exhilaration. Annual
celebration in honor of Greek god of wine Dionysus (and later Roman god Bacchus) included dancing and
drinking for several days. 1400BC year old Egyptian painting showed the group of scantily dressed girls
who danced for the wealthy male crowd, supported by the several musicians. This kind of entertainment
continued to be refined, until medieval times and the start of the Renaissance when ballet became integral
part of the wealthy class.
European dances before the start of Renaissance were not widely documented, any only few isolated
fragments of their existence remain found today. The most basic "chain shaped" dance practiced by
commoners was most widespread across Europe, but the arrival of Renaissance and new forms of music
brought many other styles in fashion. Renaissance dances from Spain, France and Italy were soon surpassed
by Baroque dances which became widely popular in French and English courts. After the end of French
Revolution, many new types of dances emerged with focused on less restrictive woman clothing, and
tendency for skipping and jumping. These dances soon became even more energetic in 1844 with the
beginning of so called "international polka craze" which also brought us the first appearance of famous
waltz.
After the short period of time when great ballroom masters created wave of complicated dances, the era
of modern day 2 person dance started with the careers of famous ballroom dances Vernon and Irene Castle.
After those early years of 20th century many modern dances were invented (Foxtrot, One-Step, Tango,
Charleston, Swing, Postmodern, Hip-hop, break-dancing and more) and the expansion of musical brought
those dances into worldwide popularity.

Benefits of Dancing
Dance is a health-promoting physical activity that many people worldwide incorporate into
their lifestyles today. This physical activity appeals to some who may not typically be
active and therefore may be another alternative of exercise. Dance for health has become an
important factor in the prevention, treatment, and management in several health
circumstances. It can benefit both physical and mental health and subsidizes social
communication. The following are the specific benefits of dance

What makes a good dance?
According to (McGreevy-Nichols et. Al 2005), a
good dance displays a significant meaning or conveys
message. Sometimes, it also portrays life experiences. Dance
may be presented abstractly and symbolically but still
convey emotion and meaning. A good dance lifts and
transports the audience from the seats during the
performance.
It has the beginning, middle, and end/conclusion. The
beginning of a dance my come in a form of shape, a pose, or
an entrance. The middle consists of a development or the
exploration of the main idea. The ending/conclusion should
be clear and may be in a form of shape, pose, or an exit.
 What makes a good dancer?
Some people are just innately born with traits and abilities that allow them to do magnificent
things. Whether you’re a dancer, visual artist, musician, or in a completely different type of
industry, different characteristics and skills provide certain people with the ability to
accelerate in their particular field, almost effortlessly because of certain intrinsic features.
If you’re wondering whether you possess the traits that make a great dancer, here are some of
the highlighted ones to recognize from Greta Leeming Studio of Dance.
1. Motivation & Determination
Finding your motivation allows you to tap into your determination for
pursuing the success and life that you want as a dancer. Any dancer can
become a great dancer once they become crystal clear on their motivation
and determination.
2. Discipline
Practice makes perfect and there’s really no way around it. If you want to
hone in on your craft, the trait of discipline needs to be by your side at all
times.
3. Ability to Focus
Another essential trait that makes a great dancer is the ability to really
focus. Dancing is a crafted skill that comes through much dedication,
discipline, motivation, determination, and above all – focus.
4. Spatial Awareness
With the world as your stage, dancers must have the ability to be
spatially aware of both their body and their surroundings. Being spatially
aware means that you can flutter about the stage knowing precisely how to
use your space, how to avoid bumping into other dancers, or how to simply
not be in the way.
5. Enthusiasm
When you think of dance, does it excite you? Do you enjoy practicing
it, learning it and watching great dancers perform on your free time?
Dancing will always require hard work, but if you aren’t feeling enthusiasm
towards it then hard work may only take you so far.

If you love to dance and you possess some of these key traits, rest
assured that you just might have what it takes to become a great dancer.

Were you able to capture or trace the historicity of dance? How about the
reasons why people dance, are they still being applied to our current generation?
For some provinces, they were able to keep the sacredness of their culture
particularly dancing. The ritual dances used as a form of thanksgiving for a
bountiful harvest, the Muslim dances being performed in different occasions, and
dances that depicts different life ceremonies are still evident to them. I’m sure you
were curious about these dances. Find out more about these below as this module
brings you the next lesson: Philippine Folk Dances.

Philippine Folk Dance

All countries in the world have rich cultures made vibrant and colorful by their dances that truly reflects
their identity. In the Philippines, we are very rich in terms of our culture and dances as well. Each region in
the country has a diverse culture and traditional dances. As a quick view of how beautiful the Philippine
dances are, watch the video attached in this module.

What is folk dance?

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

According to FRANCISCA REYES AQUINO that

Philippine folk dance should have the following
characteristics:
a. It is traditional
 b. It has expressive behavior
c. Simple, basic rhythm dominates the
folk dance and establishes the pattern of
movement.
d. It is created by an unknown
choreographer or by communal
efforts
e. It performs a function in the life of
the folks.
What is the difference between folk, national, and ethnic dance?
Often, the term folk dance is being confused or used interchangeably with ethnic and
national dance. The definitions below will hopefully clarify your confusion.

Folk dances are dances developed by people that reflect the

life of the people of a certain country or region. These are
traditional dances found in a certain country.

Tinikling

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 or regional variations.
Pandango for example, has a regional variations coming from both Luzon and Visayas
islands. Even within one locality, dancers have different ways of performing it. Examples are
Pandango sa Ilaw, Pandango Ilocano, Pandango Ivatan, etc.

Pandango sa Ilaw

Ethnic dances or ethnological dances are those

performed in primitive tribes and have retained their close
kinship with religious ritual community custom. In the
Philippines, examples of Ethnic dances mostly originate
from Ifugao people from northern Luzon, T’boli tribe from
Southern Mindanao, and Tagbanua tribe from Palawan. Dugso
Ethnic dances can be performed in three different categories:
ritual, life-cycle, and occupational.
a. Ritual Dances- dances that depicts ceremony.
Examples are” Dugso” from Bukidnon and
“Pagdidiwata” of Palawan.
b. Life-cycle dances- dances relating to the cycle of Salip
human life, such as birthing, courtship, wedding,
and funeral. Examples are “Salip” from Apayao
and Binasuan of Pangasinan.
c. Occupational dances- dances that exhibit work
and occupation of the dancers. Examples of
occupational dancers are “Mananagat” of Cebu
and Mag-Asik from Cotobato.
Mananagat
 All national and ethnic dances are folk dances, but not all
folk dances are considered national or ethnic dance.

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 the geographical extent of origin, nature,
speed of movement, formation, and distinguishing feature. The three major classifications of
Philippine folk dances are tribal dances from Cordilleras, dances from lowland Christians,
and Muslim dances.

Tribal dances from the Cordillera- include non-Christian dances from the
Cordillera.

Banga Manmanok

Lowland Christian dances- dances coming from places with Western

influences such as that of the Tagalogs, Ilokanos, Pampangueños,
Pangasinense, Bisayans, and Bicolanas. These dances are influenced by
Hispanic and European cultures.

La Jota Moncadeña Cariñosa

 Muslim Dances- dances from the people of Southern Islands of the
Philippines such as in Mindanao and Sulu. These dances are influenced by
Arabic and Indo-Malayan cultures.

Singkil Pangalay

Directions: Identify the following. Write your answer on the blank before the number.
1. These are dances of those in the primitive tribe that is part of
their religious ritual and community custom.
2. These are dances relating to human life events such as
birthing, courtship, wedding and funeral.

3. These are dances of our brothers and sisters in the Southern Island
of the Philippines.
4. These are dances that depicts the livelihood of the dancers.

How was the second formative assessment? Did you get all the items
correctly? I’m sure you did but in case you missed something, you can always go
back to the lesson and check.
Did you saw the beautiful, rich, and varied folk dances of the country?
Actually there are hundreds of traditional dances that can be found in the country.
They mostly come from the southern and northern parts of the Philippine islands.
We can always identify the origin of the dance by looking at the props, costumes,
and implements of a certain tribe or group.
To further widen our perspective and love for folk dancing, our next lesson
presents the fundamental folk dance steps. You will be demonstrating them. Are you
ready to perform? Good luck 

Tiklos”
by: Francisca Reyes Aquino

Background

“Tiklos” is a native peasant’s dance of Leyte. The term “tiklos” is the Waray
equivalent to “Bayanihan”. Groups of people work for somebody without expecting
something in return. The work includes building of house, prepare the soil for planting or do
any job on the farm and forests. At noontime, the people gather together to rest. For centuries,
this dance has been a very important factor in the social life of the people of Leyte. During
the old times, “Tiklos” music is played with a flute accompanied by a guitar and the
“guimbal” or the “tambura”. This music is being played to gather the peasants before they
start working.

Dance Properties:

Our
indigenous

dances have been

evolved
and modified due
to acculturation.
Some of these
dances were
influenced by the
culture of western
countries such
as
Americans and Spaniards
and some were influenced by our
neighboring Asian countries like Indonesia,
Malaysia, and China. This manifestation can be seen in our regional and
national folk dances in terms of costumes, props, music, and dance figures.
Our culture as Filipinos is becoming vulnerable from time to time.
Strengthening and persevering our rich and diverse culture is a great challenge
nowadays. Most of the expression of indigenous culture and ways of life
contributing to the common identity of humanity have already disappeared
and those that are surviving are threatened of imminent disappearance under
the effect of globalization.
It will always be okay if we love to perform other dances such as those
that are modern. There’s no problem if we find peace in expressing ourselves
through these dances. But as Filipinos, let us not forget where we came from.
Let us not forget our cultural roots. The key to preservation lies in our hands.
We must learn how to value and preserve these vibrant dances so that the
succeeding generation will still be able to witness the richness of our cultural
identity. Let us be proud to be Filipinos amidst globalization. Let us be proud
to be Filipinos amidst the different unpleasant scenarios we are experiencing
 in our country. Let us continue to raise our flag and hold hands together as we
lift everything to Jesus and pray for better days.

List down your 5 ways to contribute to the preservation of folk dances.

5.

Folk dances have been part of our customs and traditions. They
depict rituals, ceremonies, ceremonies, and ceremonies of a certain
group of folks. These are very precious especially to our roots. It is the
primary reason why the teaching of folk dances has been consistently
part of educational subjects from primary to tertiary. Each and every
Filipino are given equal chances to see and perform these beautiful
dances be it in school or in the community. May the things you wrote
above be concretize so we can preserve our cultural identity. Dancing
folk dances is just one of the many ways to show our nationalism. Let
us perform them with enthusiasm, pride and honor.

What are the significant things you have learned from this module? Write all of them below.
“What matters for now is for every Filipino to protect our tradition and let no one distort it under the guise of
modernization.
Leave the folk dance as they are.
Heritage must not be sacrificed for progress.”
