Module No. 1: Traditional (folk and ethnic), Modern and Contemporary
Module Overview: In this module, we will examine the brief history and nature of dance, how
dance came about, and where it all began. We will also discuss the elements and characteristics
of dance to better understand the components of dance performance. Moreover, determining the
benefits of dancing and learning how to appreciate and evaluate a dance composition and
performance will also be covered. Note that the dances used as examples for the exercises in the
succeeding topics are mostly Philippine folk dances to augment promotion and appreciation of
these dances.
OBJECTIVES:
3. demonstrate an understanding of how dance celebrates, comments on, and influences issues
and events in local and global contexts, both historical and present day.
CONTENT FOCUS:
What is Dance?
“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.”
Dance differs from athletics or other daily activities because it focuses primarily on “an
aesthetic or even entertaining experience” (Myers, 2005). It provided variety of functions
throughout history due to its multidimensionality. Although there have been immense comparative
differences in period and culture, people still dance mainly for four reasons: (a) to please the
Gods; (b) to please others; (c) to please themselves or self-expression; and (d) to build community
within an ethnic groups or social interaction (Myers, 2005).
“Before man can do anything, he must draw breath, he must move. Movement is the
source and condition of life. To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more
powerful. This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking.” –Agnes de Mille (1963).
People from the prehistoric era performed ways they hoped would appease the forces of
nature or give then new powers of their own. It was only during the pre-Christian era that the real
knowledge of dance came about within the great Mediterranean and Middle Eastern civilizations.
As Kraus and Gaufman (1981) said, “Man originally to supplicate the Gods on all important
occasions of life”. Dance became full-blown and was richly recorded in ancient Egypt as reflected
in their wall paintings, reliefs, and in the literary record in hieroglyphs.
Although the Church had condemned dance as entertainment, some singers, dancers, poets,
actors, musicians, and jugglers continued to wander in village
squares to perform during the Dark and early Middle Ages.
These performers were eventually welcomed in the castles
and chateaus of feudal lords. The common people also
amused themselves by doing dances that were social in
character, marking the beginning of social dancing. Nobility
soon followed the peasants’ lead in dancing but in a more
refined and courtly form as court dances emerged as part of the chivalric way of life.
In the 15th and 16th centuries, new court dances in Europe performed
by the nobility came about at about the same time as the rise of the art of
ballet in Italy and France. From then on, several other dance forms continued
to sprout and spread across several countries. After the pinnacle of ballet prominence,
contemporary dances that were stylistic variations of ballet emerged and evolved in Europe. Other
dance forms also came to light and have been widely recognized worldwide.
From the earliest moments known human history, dance accompanied ancient rituals,
spiritual gatherings and social events. http://www.dancefacts.net/dance-history/history-of-dance/

Physical
ELEMENTS OF DANCE
The human body is living in time and space, and its exhibits some effort. Thus, all
movements occur in time, through space, and with effort (Schrader, 1996). Since dance entails a
lot of movements, it uses the very same elements, space, time and energy. These elements are
beneficial to anyone interested in recognizing, analyzing, or creating movement.
Space
Figure 2.1. The use of spatial elements. The picture on the left (a) shows how a movement is done in
different sizes while the picture on the right (b) shows how to vary focus. Both pictures show how movement
is done at different levels.
Timing
Dance Energies
It refers to how the entire body is molded in space or the configuration of body parts. The
body can be rounded, angular, or a combination of two. Other body shapes can be from wide to
narrow and from high to low. They can be symmetrical and asymmetrical.
Group Shapes
In this element, a group of dancers perform movements in different group shapes. They
are arranged in ways that are wide, narrow, rounded, angular, symmetrical, or asymmetrical and
are viewed together as a total picture or arrangement within a picture frame (Minton, 2007).
There are many more possibilities for each element. Can you think of others?

Multimedia Presentation
DIRECTIONS:
1. Pick a simple movement of your choice such as arm raising or bending. Explore the
elements of dance by doing the following exercises. Record a video when an element is
incorporated to the simple movement.
a) Space. Standing on one spot, execute a simple movement. Try to vary the size of
your movement by making it look smaller or larger. Observe yourself in a mirror
while doing this movement. Try executing the same movement while you face your
body in different directions. Now, add a basic walk with your chosen movement
and walk to a different direction on specific counts. Then see how it feels like to
change direction on every count. After changing directions of your walk, try tracing
a simple geometric pattern (i.e., circle, square, triangle, and so on). This geometric
shape is your floor pattern.
b) Timing. Gradually increase the tempo of your chosen movement and then slow it
down. Using the same floor pattern as in (a), vary the tempo of the pattern at
several points. Compare the variations.
c) Energy. Perform your chosen movement using the six different dance energies.
d) Bodily Shape. Try various shapes you can make with your body. Put some of the
shapes you have discovered into a series. Practice moving from one shape to
another.
e) Be guided with the following rubrics.
2. Explore the Internet or any media sources and watch a dance clip or video of your choice.
Observe and identify the elements used. Answer the following questions in your report.
3. Describe the dance or movement pattern in terms of the following:
a) Space – What were the directions used? Does it shift from side to side? Move from
high and to low? Travel from one spot to another? Have a straight or curved path?
b) Timing – Was it fast or slow? Does it ever really stop? Was the rhythmic structure
even or uneven? Does it go with or oppose the music?
c) Dance Energies – What were the qualities of energies used? Was it sustained,
vibratory, percussive, suspended, swinging or collapsing? Were the movements
bound for free?
d) Bodily Shapes – What kind of bodily shapes were used? Was it rounded, angular
or combination of two? Was it symmetrical or asymmetrical?
e) Group Shapes – Was it wide, narrow, rounded, angular? Was it symmetrical or
asymmetrical?
f) Be guided with the following rubrics.
