THE CONCEPT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Overview:
A student has lost interest to go to school “Why?” a friend asked him; the student replied “it’s a boring
place.” The friend said. “there are many beautiful things in school; if you have no inclination to the academic, there
is art. If you do not like art there is sport. You can choose from any of these to make your life in school meaningful.
Every academic discipline has its own area of concern. Language is concerned on communication;
mathematics is concerned on numbers and so-on. Physical Education encompasses all these things. A poor physical
condition could never absorb math, language and so on. It is always the physical condition of the person that
matters.
The first module will be focusing on the foundation of physical education, this will serve as the primary
chapter in order to go on the next chapters of the subject, and here you will encounter the following sub-topics:
the concept of Physical Fitness; the nature of P.E; The benefits of Physical Education; and the Historical foundation
of P.E together with the history of the Olympic games. Every end of the chapter’s sub-topic you are required to
answer its learning task that would serve as the key to continue with the other sub-topic, make sure to understand
an be able to follow what are being asked most specially in the instruction sections of every learning task.
Learning Outcomes: upon the completion of this module, you will be able to:
✓ Discuss the concept of Physical Fitness and the nature of Physical Education
✓ Appreciate the importance of the three aims of Physical education in learning
✓ Value the significance of the Benefits of Physical Education in the development of Holistic aspect of life
✓ Discuss the Historical foundation of Physical Education.
✓ Identify and trace history of Olympic games
1.1 The concept of Physical Education and The Nature of Physical Education
The Concept of Physical Education
Success is your desire. It all depends on your physical condition and your activities to maintain physical
conditioning. Physical Education or Physical fitness, whatever term it may apply, it all relates to the total well-being
of a person, and this total well-being is the most basic requirement to reach success, the objective of your desire.
It is success in your education, your career and of course your life as a whole.
The first thing to do is ensure a sound physical condition. We know of men who failed to perfect their
dreams because of physical misfortunes. Although Mozart was at all times successful in his career, but he could
have composed more if he did not die at the age of 35. He was brilliant, yet his physical condition was weak. He
died of tuberculosis
The internet lists known artists, particularly writers who died young and if they are still alive, they are
suffering from physical sickness. Guy de Maupassant lived suffering from syphilis. Lord Byroon looked like a god,
yet he suffered from deformed feet. Alain-Fourneir died at the age of 27; Thomas Chatterton died at 17; Anne
Bronte died at 29; Stephen Crane, an American novelist known for his Red Badge of Courage died at the age of 29

due to Tuberculosis. There are still hundreds who could not pursue their dreams because of poor physical
condition.
Today even workers in a white-collar job are still required to undergo yearly physical check-up. White collar
job though does not demand an extreme physical force yet workers need to be physically fit. In fact, Physical
Fitness is one of the most basic criteria for job application. Many had been denied of job because of physical
unfitness although their academic preparations are well fit to the job. Permanent appointments are not given to
employees found to be physically unfit. If Physical condition is the reason, no labor law can stop the company from
firing any of its employees.
It is a reality that your physical condition as student shall be the anchor of your future, and the future of
the people you love, your family, the people who depend on you. Now it is the right time to prepare for the future.
The future is rough and whether you will like it or not, you will face it. Denzel Washington said, “The world is rough
and you have to square it roughly.” You cannot face the rough world in the rough future with your poor physical
condition. The world is like Goliath, big, daring and cruel. To conquer it, you have to be David, strong, brave and
wise.
Poor health is not just simple outward expression. It is also meant a weak personality, and a weak personality is
always synonymous with the so-called “born loser.” Now is the right time to fix it. Michael Jordan said, “Don’t be
stupid; stay in school.”
Learning Task:

The Nature of Physical Education
This course exists in the elementary, secondary and tertiary levels. Most often in the tertiary it is taken as
part of the General Education program. Taken by first year college students. Regardless of the chosen discipline
all students in college are required to take it. its content may vary according to the program; the maritime students
for instance have their own physical education activities, yet the idea is that all students must take P.E to compete
their academic prerequisites. In similar manner, the criminology students have their own version of Physical
education activities, they call it defense tactic or shortly DEFTAC which by its content is a martial art, yet again the
idea is that all students must have activities under the physical education course.
Basically, physical education guides students to acquire growth in their motor skill; it is highly physical so
that in teaching, it is the most students-centered type of all course in college. It transfers knowledge on physical
growth by way of students’ total participation. Indeed, it is student-centered.
Its nature, although, physical, cannot set aside from its task of developing other facets of the students.
Along with its basic components of developing the motor skills of students, it also has a part of developing the
students’ talent. The course physical education this time, also includes art appreciation particularly dancing. There
is no wonder why many times professors of physical education are called to judge dancing contest. A story
circulated that legendary action star Jean Claude Van Dame first mastered the art of ballet dancing before he
became expert in the tactics of self defense.
Physical education could also be looked at as extra-curricular activities which include sports, games, dance,
gymnastics and recreational activities. Some schools of the country involve in their physical education some locally
developed sports, martial arts like karate, taekwondo and others.
The aims of Physical Education
In doing the most basic function of physical education is to ensure physical fitness. Three important aspects of the
person are also developed and these are psychomotor, cognitive and affective.
Psychomotor
It is the basic function of physical education, to build up physical strength of the person. It develops
organic system of the human body whose outcomes is power to resist fatigue. It trains the body to sustain
hardship. Particularly, physical fitness offers the following development in the human psychomotor.
1. Cardio-respiratory Endurance. Swimming, running and other forms of exercise are the basic
components of physical education. These physical activities freely allow the oxygen and nutrients to
travel into the tissues thus remove the waste in the body. Constant performance of the exercises
washes away the toxins.
2. Muscular strength and Endurance. Physical fitness provides ability of the muscles to exert and sustain
force against weight or other forms of resistance. It is well demonstrated in the muscular strength of
a person who used weight lifting. Aside from the strength, muscles could sustain heavy objects in a
long period of time.
3. Flexibility. Constant practice of sit and reach provides training on flexibility of the legs. These result to
ability of the muscles’ extreme reach.
4. Body Composition. This refers to the matching of lean mass and fat mass as components of the body.
It develops proportion of the body.
Along with these enumerated improvements of the body, physical fitness also assumes
development in speed, the component of physical fitness that means the capability to hold a continuous

movement in a short period of time. The short period of time may be explained in 100-m sprint finished in
a short period of time. Agility, the ability to change position in a flash of a second; balance, a skill under
physical fitness that refers to the maintenance of stability while in static or stationary coordinated
movements, the skill to see and hear at the same time while the body is moving or performing a task;
power, the combination of speed and strength to perform challenging activity as in punch of a boxer, and
reaction time, a response to the stimulus to move, from beginning of the movement up to the end.
Cognitive
It is about the intellectual capabilities of the persons; particularly physical education which
develops the students’ knowledge to solve problems; it provides understanding of the rules. As students,
they learn how to follow the basic standard in sports. Strategies to outdo opponents are also training to
solve problem in life. It is about physical movements so that students could practice to analyze the
underlying movements in a movement.
Affective
Generally, it is the aim of education to develop the emotional skills of the students. Specifically,
this aim is fulfilled in the physical education course. It involves games usually played in a team which
eventually develops the students’ sportsmanship. Since students play as a team, this develops the sense
of belonging, cognition of the strength of others; it develops respect and finally love. Physical education
develops leadership, cooperation, discipline, self-control and honesty.
Learning Task:
What is/are the contribution of Physical Education to a person’s Psychomotor, Affective, and Cognitive.

Other Benefits of Physical Education
1. Technologically driven games make the young people physically inactive. This situation makes physical
education every important in school. One could notice that indigenous games that require physical agility
and mental alertness are gone. Children now congregate in the internet cafes playing video games.
2. For people growth and development, exercises required in the physical education classes are necessary. It
is the basic purpose in including P.E as a required course even in the basic education namely; elementary
and secondary.
3. For good health and physical fitness, physical education is still very important. There is no doctor who
would not prescribe regular exercise to patient with advanced or developing physical problem.
4. Physical education helps person prevent from acquiring various sickness and diseases.
5. Physical education provides information about the person’s physical condition.

“defense mechanism.” An angry man punches any object rather than the person who is the source of his
anger. In such a case punching bag and other item in the gymnasium could be a good form of defense
mechanism.

1.3 Historical Foundation of Physical Education and The History of Olympic
games
Historical Foundation of P.E
By the nature of their society primitive men had to move from one settlement to another. It was nomadic
society, and the members were gregarious. There were long rivers to fish and wide forest to hunt. It was a life
highly vested on the physical stamina of the persons. Primitive men engaged in killing another man to protect
themselves from enemies or rough environments.
One could surmise that the early men’s physical activities were not entirely of their own disposition. The
physical world they lived in demands them to be physical fit. It even looked like that their sole survival in the early
time depended mainly on physical strength.
But it was not like that way in the certain part of the orient, particularly china. There was a time when the
Chinese people were chiefly concerned on their intellectual well-being. They almost forgot the physical side of
man. There were dancing, singing and other forms of relaxation but these were only allowed to the rich families.
Sickness and diseases of all types came which affected much of their economy. The Chinese learned it
came from sedentary lives. A common presumption was that, the dead produced nothing; the weak produced
little and the healthy produced more. Learning more about these the Chinese came up of the idea of morning of
what they called then as medical gymnasium. There was con fu gymnastic which basic purpose was to keep the
body in good condition and to ward off diseases caused by immobility.
A similar situation happened in India. Too absorbed on intellectual excellence they neglected physical
fitness. To restore balance between mind and body, the Indian people came up with their “yoga” composed of
exercises in a posture that regulated breath.
In Greece, some known men proposed physical fitness as prevention for any form of diseases. Plato
suggested music and gymnastic to be included in the curriculum. He found these two courses very important in
developing both the body and mind of the students. Herodotus considered physical education as aid to medicine.
Galen said that physical education was part of the basic hygiene and a very important aspect of the military; it was
essential to victory.
In the middle age in Europe (5th to 15 century A.D.), the period known today as the dark ages; dark because
it was period of ignorance, as illustrated on the people’s submission to superstitions. Physical education in this
period was also dark. The people’s chief concern was perfection of life for the next world. The successful life
depended on the mental and intellectual development which caused the neglect of worldly pleasures including
physical fitness.
The fate of physical education in Europe was partly restored in the age of feudalism and renaissance. It
was these two periods when physical activities were taken as part of military nature. The body should be hardened
to finish whatever task. A good physical condition promoted learning. Health of the body was preparation for a
social and moral life. Still in Europe, the development of physical education and its acceptability to the people and
in academe were still explained in the publications of some books on physical education and other works.
In the Philippines, during the early times, physical fitness was also a mode of survival, for the defense of
their villages and for the survival against the rough environment. The Filipinos are basically farmers and fishermen,
the systems of living that demanded extreme physical fitness. On matter of sport development no one in the world
could deny the greatest contribution of the Filipinos to it. The world’s number boxer as of this writing is a Filipino,
and the third after this greatest boxer in the world is also a Filipino. Likewise, the number one billiard player in the
world is a Filipino.

Historically, the formal inclusion of the physical education in the curriculum was made during the American
period. A series of orders and government mandates all related to physical education came about up to the present
time. Sports activities in the country were only interrupted by the Japanese occupation. After that short break, of
physical activities went on again because sports stream down in to the Filipino blood.
Today, physical education is an integral part of elementary, secondary and tertiary level of education. No
one can graduate without finishing the required number of units in physical education. Year after year, new kind
of games locally developed by Filipinos comes in and finds a place in the sport department of the schools of the
country.

Summary
Success is your desire. It all depends on your physical condition and your activities to maintain physical
conditioning. Physical Education or Physical fitness, whatever term it may apply, it all relates to the total well-being
of a person, and this total well-being is the most basic requirement to reach success, the objective of your desire.
It is success in your education, your career and of course your life as a whole.
This course exists in the elementary, secondary and tertiary levels. Most often in the tertiary it is taken as
part of the General Education program. Taken by first year college students. Regardless of the chosen discipline
all students in college are required to take it. its content may vary according to the program; the maritime students
for instance have their own physical education activities, yet the idea is that all students must take P.E to compete
their academic prerequisites. In similar manner, the criminology students have their own version of Physical
education activities, they call it defense tactic or shortly DEFTAC which by its content is a martial art, yet again the
idea is that all students must have activities under the physical education course.
Today, physical education is an integral part of elementary, secondary and tertiary level of education. No
one can graduate without finishing the required number of units in physical education. Year after year, new kind
of games locally developed by Filipinos comes in and finds a place in the sport department of the schools of the
country.

THE CONCEPT OF RHYTHMIC ACTIVITIES
Overview:
The module two contains the following sub-topics: What is Rhythm; Concept of movements; Objectives of
Rhythmic activities; and the Objectives of teaching Philippine Folk dance which you will learn along deep reading
and understanding its contents. Just like the module one, in this part you will still encounter learning task/learning
activities every end of each sub-topic either it is under cognitive or practically done since your subject is physical
education. Make sure that you will be serious enough dealing with its discussion; key terms and some of its basic
descriptions.
✓ Discuss what is Rhythm and its underlying terminologies

✓ Value the significance of movements.
✓ Execute some of the basic in Rhythmic activities movements
✓ Explain the significance of the objectives of rhythmic activities.
✓ Execute the following: Fundamental dance position; Selected basic natural movements
✓ Explain the Objectives of Teaching Philippine Folk Dances
2.1 Concept of Rhythm

Every individual has rhythm. It is found in all of nature and is natural to every individual. Rhythm is most
clearly seen through dance- the art of movement.
What is Rhythm? ---- Is the regular recurrence of accented and unaccented beats.
Rhythms
Is a term which denotes an aspect of a quality of movement that is sometimes thought of as dance. When
an individual move in response to a particular rhythm or music we call the movements as rhythmic movements or
rhythms. Structured forms which start creative rhythmic movements are called rhythms.
Rhythmic activities
Are the physical manifestations of the mental and emotional response of the individual to rhythm. They
They are also a source of enjoyment for people of all ages. Through these activities, skills and the sense of
rhythm are acquired and developed, feelings are expressed, basic principles of time, space and force can be
experienced.
Everyone reacts to music or rhythm in one form or another. A head swaying, a foot tapping, fingers
snapping, shoulders and body moving while a musical piece is played are physical reactions.
Dance
Refers to movement set to music where there emerges organization, structure and pattern. It is a

Dancing
Is a means of expressing one’s emotions through movement disciplined by rhythm. It is an act of moving
rhythmically and expressively to an accompaniment. The word dancing came from an old German word “Danson”
which means to “stretch”. Essentially, all dancing is made up of stretching and relaxing.
Rhythmic fundamentals
In the field of dance, there are certain fundamental knowledge and rhythmic skills considered important
for proficiency and efficiency in bodily movements.
Elements of Rhythm:
1. Beat—the underlying pulse of a rhythm.

2. Tempo—rate of speed of a movement.
3. Intensity—variation of stress of movement.
4. Pitch—lowness or highness of a tone.
5. Accent—emphasis on certain beats.
6. Meter—the regular recurrence of beats which divides a musical design into measure.
7. Phrase—measures grouped together.
8. Bar—in music a vertical line across a staff dividing it into equal measures of time.
9. Count—a pulse beat, a time limit.
10. Note—a printed symbol of a musical tone.
11. Measure—a group of pulse beats.
12. Note pattern—refers to a note or set of notes with or without rest used for a certain dance step.
13. Step pattern—refers to the movement or movements done for each of the dance steps.

Learning Task:
How does Rhythm significant in the Development of the so-called “Dance/Dancing?”

2.2 Concept of Movement/s
Elements of Movements Space
1. Direction—is the line of movement taken which maybe forward, backward, sideward, diagonal, upward,
or a combination of those mentioned.
2. Level—is movement through space that maybe done at a high, low, or medium level.
3. Range—refers to the area covered as the body moves. It may be small as when the movement is done in
one’s place; or large when movement covers a wide area as when getting away from one’s place.
4. Floor Pattern—the path or design that is made while moving in space is what is termed as floor pattern. It
may take a form of a circle, square, straight line or zigzag.

PHASES OF THE DANCE PROGRAM
1. Creative Rhythms
Are sometimes called fundamental rhythms or natural dances. A creative rhythm is an end product
of exploration and improvisation of movements as children learn to move the parts of their body and
to use them as instruments of expression.
2. Folk/ Ethnic dance

Is a cultural art form handed down from generation to generations. It communicates the customs,
beliefs, rituals, and occupations of the people of a region or country. Folk dancing belongs to the
people. It emanates from them. Ethnic tribes have their specific tribal art forms originated and danced
by the people of the tribe.
Examples of folk dances are the rural and country dances, jotas, mazurkas, pandanggos, among
others with foreign influence.
Examples of ethnic dances are the dances of the mountain peoples of the Cordilleras, dances of
the ethnic groups in the Cagayan Valley Region and the ethnic dances in the Mindanao Regions.
3. Social and Ballroom Dance

The setting of the social and ballroom dance is a social gathering with the more formal atmosphere
than the simple and informal parties in which the recreational dances are the usual forms. Social and
ballroom dancing are generally held in the evenings. The participants are usually in formal attire.
4. Recreational Dance
Includes dance mixers, square dance round and couple dances. Many of these dances have simple
patterns and combinations of walking steps, polka step and the waltz step. The setting is usually
informal gatherings and parties, reunions etc.
5. Creative Dance
Is the highest form of dance. It is the end-product of exploration and improvisation of movements
as the dancer or the choreographer expresses his feelings or emotions, ideas, and interpretations. This
is a dance with a definite form, a beginning and an ending. The principles of art form are all observed
in the composition of the dance.
Examples of creative dance are ballet, jazz, and modern or contemporary dance.

CONCEPTS OF DANCE
Overview:
In this module 3 you will encounter the following lessons that has got to do with the so-called concepts
of dance or folk dance and these are: Types of dance and the nature of Philippine folk dance; Special features of
Philippine folk dance and some basic dance terms; and lastly the Basic arms and feet position. The module has the
same feature with the given module 1 and 2 which you had already took up, it also has learning task every end of
sub-topic or lesson that of course will require you supply or answer what is/are being asked whether written or
you will do it practically with application provided with documentation but in order to do so of course you need to
have some readings on the module content and if needed, you are also required to go further research or reading
in order to gain the needed ideas. Always remember that the pre-requisite of module 3 are the modules 1 and 2
which means you are required to accomplish first the modules 1 and 2 before having this one the module 3.
✓ Discuss the Types of Dance and the nature of Philippine Folk Dance
✓ Value the Nature of Philippine Folk Dance
✓ Explain the Special Features of Philippine Folk dance
✓ Discuss some common dance/folk dance terminologies.
✓ Execute the basic Fundamental Dance Positions.
3.1 Types of Dance and the Nature of Philippine Folk Dance
Concept
There was a hospital that prescribed dancing to its patients. The patients responded and there was dancing
in the hospital. It was found effective; the patients sweated out and there was a feeling of fulfillment. Dance has
a therapeutic effect to the dancers. It is only hard to explain why it gives such effect to the performers when the
pure acts of stamping, jerking, jumping and tumbling are tedious and tiresome. Yet, if the same acts are performed
as accompaniment to music, they do not simply heal some pain; they give satisfaction and success.
The therapeutic effect of dancing may reside on the movements like turning, jerking, stepping in and out
and so on. Its delightful quality is brought about by the music accompanying the movements or movements
accompanying the music or its aspect maybe brought about through the simple fact that dancers are dancing. The
iteral meaning, “sayaw”, one will discover its roots saya – happy. Saya or happy plus the word “damson” means
stretching results to dance.
Happiness in doing it and its healthy effect to the performers made dancing surpass the ages. Before men
learned to write, before they learned to manufacture any rudiment of their hunting tool, they worshipped their
gods and, in the worships, dance was the center. Technology changed very rapidly, but man’s passion to dance did
not change. It went well with time. It came into existence at the time man inhabited the planet although this claim
was almost discarded as studies hypothesized that other forms of higher animals were seen to be dancing.

Men dance as a form of religious ceremony. They also dance to express a feeling usually happiness. They
dance as an instinctive response to music played nearby. A girl could not hold herself from dancing on hearing any
danceable tune. An old man peering down at his coffee cup could not hold himself from tapping his fingers on the
table or his feet on the floor. Dancing is anywhere and anytime. As long as there is life, there is dancing.
Types
1. Folk Dance. It usually deals with traditional representation belonging to the past. Its cultural
characteristics are specific to the people of a given time and place. The people and the place may not be
exact but its origin could be assumed. For instance, if dance says something about rice planting, then its
origin could be deduced to be a rice planting place. Folk dance also has national items particularly the
costume. It is universal.
2. Ethnic Dance. It is a kind of folk dance where the theme reflects on a very specific people or ethnic. It is
specific so that viewers could immediately perceive the particular ethnic or tribe it implies. For instance, in
watching the Singkil dance, audience could immediately classify it as originally developed in Mindanao
because of the observable traditional practices or some item of sovereign authority are portrayed.
3. Creative Dance. Art experts consider this type of dance the highest; it is the sum up of every human
undertaking to produce a well-defined dance. basic movements and physical actions could be considered
dance, more particularly, if accompanied by music. But it is not as simple as dance and music. In a creative
dance, there is a well-defined opening and well-defined ending. The actions are expressions of the dancers’
grace and refinement. Movements are counted and measured so as to meet the expected results. In the
creative dance, for example, that picture out troubles of the Philippines as caused by factions between
rebels and military, Christian and non-Christian, the dance starts with Inang Bayan collecting flowers in an
atmosphere of extreme peace and richness of the country. Then a roaring helicopter is heard that startles
Inang Bayan; then there come the soldiers, and rebels firing at her. Next there came the Muslim and
Christian priests pulling Inang Bayan to take her. She sis tired, distorted, abused and dreadful. Slowly she
gropes herself and begins to stand up languid and feeble yet she succeeds. At first, she fails then she stands
again. Those men, the soldiers, rebels and priests come to unite guiding Inang Bayan to start again. The
dance ends Inang Bayan retrieving her beauty and peace.
4. Gymnastic Dance. It demands vigorous movements including some stunts so that it is more popular
among boys. It looks both a dance and form of exercise. Its effect to the performers is so great and
satisfactory.
5. Social Dance. It is basically intended for socialization and recreation purposes. There are fundamental
steps to be followed. Its beauty is well-demonstrated by the gracefulness of the performers. Example are
Waltz, Cha-cha, paso-doble and others.
6. Modern Dance. Isadora Duncan started some dance movements that deviated from the old ballet. Her
style was well-emphasized on the movements that began from the center of the body.
7. Recreational Dance. An informal type usually performed in a party when dance is performed for the
sake of dancing. It is mixed of various patterns and combinations.
8. Singing Dance. It is performed in accordance with the rhythm of the music. Its steps are simple yet it
requires skills and enough training to develop the meaning of the rhythm into dance.

Learning Task # 1

dances are tapestry of Filipino sentiments, creativeness and feelings. A scholar who wants to go deeper into the
culture of the Filipinos could study the folk dances. The body movements in dances tell the nation’s ideals,
thoughts, feelings and mores. These dances adhere to the famous Reader’s Digest line which says “if you want to
understand the culture of the people, then listen to their folk songs and look at their dances and don’t pay
attention to their politicians.”

Physical Education Curriculum in the tertiary education in the Philippines.

4.3 History of Dance (Selected)
It is indeed a very sad party if it goes on without a dance. At the same time, it would be an ostracized man
if he lives unable to make a very simple dance step. Anywhere in the world as long as the place is inhabited with
human, there are always dances. In fact, without human among the animals’ dance is a form of communication. A
rooster dances to attract the hen; a peacock dances to say his liking to the peahen.
Dance is among the early things’ humanity learned. It is well explained in the early development of child.
A child dances even to the sound of clapping hands. As early argued anthropological investigations could never be
complete without looking at the dances of the subject. It is theorized that dances were present during the early
hominid.
Modern period dance is performed as a medical technique of healing. In the past it was used by the shaman
of India and of the Pacific islanders to drive away evils that caused the sickness of the person hence it was a
technique of healing.
More on the modern times dance now is considered as one of the branches of art. In the course physical
education, dance is taken because of its rhythmic characteristics and not exactly its artistic value. Courses of the
humanities consider dance in the curriculum because of the beauty it exemplifies when performed. Art
appreciation could never be complete without dance. Students in the course have to perform two tasks, to watch
a great performance and themselves to perform a dance number. It looks like knowledge of the students in art is
half baked if they could not watch classical dance, the ballet. Exponents in the development of dance anchored
the art of dance to the words like; baroque and to the popular ones like salsa, disco, hip-hop, break dance, twist,
waltz, tango and many other.
Learning Task #1:

Why do you think a party is cheerless if there is no Dance in it?

Thailand
The Thai dance is related to their dramatic art form, the Ram Thai or Rabam. It can be categorized into two,
namely; high art, the classical and low art, the folk dance. Khon, Lakhon ai lawa Thai are Thailand’s classical dance
drama. Ram is folk dance from the regions. Particularly Tram Murdy, a ritual dance is example of Thailand regional
dance that gained national reputation. Wai an annual dance ceremony performed in honor of Thailand’s artistic
ancestors. It is performed by the classical dance group.
China
This is one of the oldest countries in the world. Being old it has a traditional that dates back to time when
shores of her neighboring countries has not been stepped by a human foot. It is an old country with an old
tradition. Dance is one of the old traditions. The Chinese people had practiced opera long before other people of
the world see an act performed on stage.
Chinese dances are classified into four. This include agricultural ceremonial, dramatic and martial. In
ancient china, dancing is a form of duty conducted in the courts of the royal families. Being a duty, it belonged to
the slaves.
One source of scholarly work about the history of Chinese dance is the remaining ceramic artifacts. Several
studies had been using these artifacts and one common finding is that people of the Neolithic Yangshao had a
dance culture. Researchers saw fighters in the artifacts. The figurines present a choreographed group in the dance.
There are figures of locked arms and stamped feet. There is a singer accompanying the dancers and instrument
accompanying the singers.
It was said and recorded that during the Shang and Chou periods, dances in china were divided into two.
One division belonged to the civilian group while the other belonged to the military. The civilian group of dancers
is identified by the feather banners in the dancers’ head. These banners as the tradition says are symbols of the
day’s hunting and fishing. They the banners signify distribution of the catch of the day.
There is another group, a large one. The dances are carrying weapons. They are in the posture to move
forward and backward. These movements in the latter part of china’s history were carried on by the military, but
this time it is no longer a simple dance form. The movements are choreographed as a form of exercise. These are
dances which are also used as expression to their veneration of the spirits, a thanks giving for the goodness the
people received.
Unlike other country particularly japan, chin did not close her door to the foreigners. Other people from
various countries came to china. There was an endless intercultural borrowing. The Chinese merged with the non-
Chinese culture. Dance in china developed weather it is pure Chinese or not. In the Tang Dynasty a culture took its
height until the Pear Garden Academy was founded. It emerged during the dynasty along with the imperial
Academy and the T’ ai-ch’ang Temple that attracted high caliber dancers from entire china go there to perform
dancing.
In china, there are also folk dances that developed in the various regions. The Miao or Hmong was
developed in southern china. It is a kind of antiphonal singing and dancing. As influenced by their environment
particularly Taiwan which also has its own thanks giving dance, the hand holding dance performance.
The present periods of china’s dance history still see growing dance styles. Young generation of Chinese
dancers allowed themselves to experiment their own style yet they always look back at the traditional Chinese
dances they believed their root origin. It is a modern time with modern type of dancing. Under the Martha Graham
School, the Cloud Gate Dance Troupe experiments Chinese dance that absorbed the traditional style. This dance
troupe had performed in many parts of the world. It is china’s dance representative to the international setting.
Korea
Art could hardly develop in a country permanently ravaged by war. Up to this writing the political line
between the north and the south is still so strong. This political division some experts say was caused by the cold
war. There was a culture sired by the educated class yet, war suspended its perfection. There was a Japanese
colonization in Korea, student demonstration and coup de Itat. It was only in the late 80’s when freedom of
expression saw a glimmer of hope after the long captivity by authoritarian rule. There was a pro-democracy
movement that finally put a period to the military ruling.
A summary of the modern dance of Korea could be divided into three phases namely: period of confusion.
This was the time when cultural activities were put into inaction due to the Korean war. Second is period of
Exploration; this was the time when performing artists, particularly the dances attempted to put dance companies.
Third is the period of Stylization, the period when professional Korean dancers began to carve identities through
theater.

Summary
Dance is for healing, entertainment and recreation. It is wise to mention that dance is also a means to
improve self-defense. In martial art there is what they call kata. Its execution is exactly a dance. Martial artist
notably the actor Jean Van Calude Damme combined his knowledge in ballet dance to his execution of kata. Almost
90 percent of the criteria in making judgement of a dance presentation are applied to kata presentation.
Whatever purpose the performance of dance may have, the world had seen several reasons why men
dance. One of which is for recreation. Dance is a of relaxation, a rewinding from the day’s hard work. Second, men
dance for health purposes. In olden times it was used to drive away evils. In the modern times, it may not be
performed to drive away evils, but it is proven to have therapeutic effect to the performers. Third, human dance
to express sexual desire, or dance is used to provoke sex. The dance movie Lambada epitomizes this claim.
