IV. Procedure
1. Introductory Activity
● Do your preliminary activities:
 *HR Log
o 10-15 minute warm-up exercises (Arms and Feet Routine).

Activity1. (Everybody Dance)

2. Activity/Strategy In this activity, learners will be given activities to recall the
basic steps and arm movements in folk dance.
Normal Setting
Here’s how:
1.The learners shall be grouped into 4 and assemble by columns.
2. Let them designate a leader per group.
2. Play the festival music prepared. As the music is being played, ask
learners to come up with 3 figures of 16 counts. Let them do this in 5
minutes.
3. Let each column or group present their output. While a group is
presenting, the rest of the groups shall sit and observe until all groups
have already performed.

o Obtain heart rate after the activity.

* HR Log

3. Analysis Gather learners in column formation and sit in an Indian Sitting position
facing front.
Ask them the following questions:

 How does it feel coming up with your own festival routine?

 Was it hard or easy? Why?
 What should one know and do to come up with an easier festival
dance routine?

4. Abstraction
● Through a power point presentation, present learners with the
basic steps and arm movements.

*Teach the step by command or explanation and demonstration

first. Explain the terms used.

*Give the rhythm and manner of counting music by clapping

hands or beating.

*Teach the steps by counts.

*Then executes the steps with music.

*Lastly, teach the step with the arm movements most

appropriate

● Create a combination of the basic steps

- Suggestion for making Dance-step Combination
5. Application
(Create a combination of the basic steps in folk dance and let the group
perform )

Here’s how:
1. The same groups will be doing this activity.
2. The groups shall identify something they wish to celebrate or a
festival dance in your locality.
3. They shall be asked to recall the basic movements they have
learned.
4. Inform them that the celebration they have agreed with their
group shall be the basis for the movements they will create.
5. In ten minutes, they are expected to come up with 3 figures of
16 counts each figure.

6. Assessment Below are basic folk dance steps in 2/4 time. Provide the Step pattern
and Corresponding counts.
The learners will supply the missing step pattern and
counting of each basic step enumerated.

Fifth position………….heels and toes together
ARM POSITIONS USED IN PRACTICE STEPS

2. Hands holding skirt.

8. Arms in lateral positions, moving from side to side.
9. Arms in lateral position with forearm turn.
10. Arms in fifth position moving side to side.
11. Arms in hayon-hayon position - one forearm bent in front at waist level and the other bent
behind the body at waist level also.
12. arms in forward-bend position with forearm turn alternately.
Suggestion for making Dance-step Combination
1. Select the music to be used – 3/4, 2/4, 3/8, 6/8, or 4/4, etc. Mention the manner of counting
per measure if necessary as ct. 1, 2; 1, and, 2; or 1,2, 3 to a measure.
2. Decide on the kind of formation – single circle all facing in, clockwise or counterclockwise;
long open formation partners facing each other or facing front; square; double circle facing
clockwise, counterclockwise, facing in, or facing each other, etc.
3. Select the steps that will suit the music. For simple combinations, only two or three steps may
be used in one figure of sixteen or thirty-two measures. Combine steps using the same kind of
music and tempo.
4. Decide on the number of measures to be used in each figure – 8, 16, or 32 measures.
5. Proceed to write the combination by:
a. Mentioning which foot to start with or to use – L or R.
b. Giving the number of dance steps to be taken – 2, 4, 6, or 8 change steps.
c. Giving the direction to be taken – forward, backward, sideward right or left, clockwise, or
counterclockwise, etc.
d. Specifying in the arm movements or position if necessary – arms in lateral position
moving sideward right and left, arms in hayon-hayon, or hands-on waist, etc.
e. Writing the instruction (movements) part by part – (a), (b), (c), etc.
f. Writing the number of measures to be used after each part at the right side as
………………………………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………. 4 M
Note:
1. Numbers 1 and 2 may be interchanged.
2. If a particular piece is selected, write the part of the music used for each figure – A, B, C,
etc.
3. It is better to change the kind of step or direction of movement by following the phrases
of music.
EXAMPLES:
Dance-Step combination One
MUSIC: 2/4 time. Count 1,2 or 1, and 2 to a measure.
FORMATION: long open, partners facing each other about six feet apart.
