V. REFLECTION
How do you feel about the different activities you are engaged in?
It feels exhausting because different activities that we’re engaged perform several
functions in the body to improve but even though its tiring or lethargic, I had fun
because it’s been so long since we didn’t do Physical Fitness Test and at the end
of the day, this is beneficial to me and not only me but to everyone that’s why the
sweat, the exchanged t-shirts is ok because I’m doing this for my health.

I. ENGAGING ON TASK
Hello! Everyone! Are you fond of dancing? Are you able to make your own dance moves
and present it in a creative way? Aside from enjoyment, dancing in a creative way can help
boost our well-being.
Instructions: Look at the pictures of below. Put a check (/) if it is beneficial to your well-
being and x if not. Write your answer on the box below.
Linking Statement:
The pictures above show the benefits of creative movement such as Zumba and a picture of a
depressed woman. Nowadays, youth are more engaged in different activities like sports and other
physical undertakings. Some people do dancing activities and these are evident in the different
communities, dance competitions and films that involve dancing as a means of communication. In this
lesson, you will learn the benefits of dance and creative movement to your well-being. You will be
working by pair throughout the activity.
Dancing is one of the oldest and most popular forms of exercise. This are some of the
benefits of dancing for;
1. Physical – the benefits of dancing are endless, especially when it comes to the physical aspects
of this art. Regardless of the style of dance, whether it is ballroom, Ballet, Zumba, Hip-Hop, or
the Salsa, they each play an active role in helping people stay fit. All types of dance styles work
to engage all parts of the body to not only create harmony, but to create a graceful workout.
2. Emotional - by helping to prevent falls, improve posture and flexibility, lift mood and ease
anxiety. It's also a fun activity that sharpens the mind, increases aerobic power and strength,
builds social bonds, and can reduce pain and stiffness.
3. Mental - it helps improve mood, reduce stress and anxiety. Within the scientific community, a
growing number of researchers have proven that, while dancing, an abundance of mood-
improving chemicals are released within the body of the dancer. According to research carried
out by The Arts in Psychotherapy, when unleashed, these chemicals help improve one’s mental
state; even one “lively” session of dance can reduce depression.
4. Social – dance provides a unique opportunity for meaningful group involvement as it
encourages intense, positive social interaction and interpersonal relationships in a working
group.
5. Cultural - dance promotes a place or a country’s rich culture through showcasing the different
cultural dances.
Elements of Dance
The Human Body is living in time and space, and it exhibits some effort.Thus,all
movements occur in time, through space, and with effort (Schander,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
This is the area the performances occupy and where they move. It can be divided into
four different aspects, also known as spatial elements.
a. Direction- dance movements can travel in any direction. The performances can go
forward, side backward, diagonal, circular, and so on. They may also face any
direction while executing a single movement or several phrases
b. Size- movements can be varied by doing larger or smaller actions.
c. Level- movements can be done in a high, medium, or low level.
d. Focus- performers may change their focus by looking at different directions.
TIMING
The movements in timing may be executed in varying tempo (speed). Performers move
with tempo of an underlying sound, known as beat or pulse.
DANCE ENERGIES
The movements here propelled by energy or force. A force can either initiate or stop an
action. Dance uses different energies and a varied use of these minimizes the monotony of the
movements in a performance. There are six qualities of dance energies presented below:
a. Sustained- movements are done smoothly, continuously, and with flow and control. It
does not have a clear beginning and ending.
b. Percussive- movements are explosive or sharp in contrast with sustained movements.
They are accented with thrust of energy. They have a clear beginning and ending.
c. Vibratory- movements consist of trembling or shaking.
d. Swinging – movements trace a curved line or an arc in space.
e. Suspended- movements are perched in space or hanging on air.
f. Collapsing- movements are released in tension and gradually or abruptly giving in to
gravity, letting the body descend to the floor.
BODILY SHAPES
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.
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)
