TOPIC I. COURSE INTRODUCTION

Importance of dance

Dance is a health-promoting physical activity which 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. Dance is an art which is learned in and shared
between many cultures. Types of dance can entail body movements, expression and
collaboration. The correlation between dance and health has been subject of a number
of research studies that show dance to be a largely healthy exercise. Dance plays an
important part in the PE curriculum because it will allow students to experience cultures
from the different and around the world, able to work in groups with others to achieve
different types of challenges, such as creating dance variations and to learn about body
movement while being motivated by the power of music.

TOPIC 2: NATURE OF DANCE

DANCE

• Dance, patterned and rhythmic bodily movements, usually performed to music,

that serve as a form of communication or expression.

• Dance is an art form characterized by use of the human body as a vehicle of

expression.

• Dance has been described as “an exciting and vibrant art which can be used in
the educational setting to assist the growth of the students and to unify the
physical, mental, and emotional aspects of the human being.” (Dance Directions,
1988). Dance is immediately accessible for most people—no special equipment
is needed, just the ability to move.

Dance is an exciting and vibrant art which can be used in the educational setting to
assist the growth of the students and to unify the physical, mental, and emotional
aspects of the human being.

TOPIC 3: OVERVIEW OF LINE DANCE

Brief History of Line Dance

Although many popular line dances are set to country music, the first line dances did not
originate from country-western dancing. Line dancing is believed to have originated
from folk dancing, which has many similarities.

Contra dancing, a form of American folk dance in which the dancers form two parallel
lines and perform a sequence of dance movements with different partners down the
length of the line, probably had a huge influence on the line dancing steps we are
familiar with today.

In the 1800s, European immigrants traveled west to North America, bringing with them
a wealth of culture, including such native dances as the polka and waltz, whose
movements join and evolved into what was called round and square dancing. Many
 10

believed that this style of dancing introduced the terms and steps used in country line
dancing today.

In the 1990s, school began to include folk dancing in their physical education programs.
Many believed that American servicemen returning home from war influenced the
spread of line dancing after being introduced to traditional European folk dances. Then
there, patrons of the 1970s who believe that the real popularity of line dancing evolved
from the disco era. Line dances were performed to disco-style music.

Line dances started being created for popular country songs. One example is a dance
made for Billy Ray Cyrus' 1992 smash hit "Achy Breaky Heart." Even pop music began
to see an upswing in line dances in the 1990s, with "the Macarena" serving as a sort of
hybrid folk-pop dance number that swept the world by storm.

Line dancing began incorporating many musical styles besides country, including pop,
rock, jazz, disco, Latin and even Big Band music. Line dancing is considered an art form
of its own, with its own terminology and standardized steps.

Definition of Line Dance

A line dance is a choreographed dance with a repeated sequence of steps in which a group of people
dance in one or more lines or rows, all facing either each other or in the same direction, and executing the
 11

steps at the same time. Unlike circle dancing, line dancers are not in physical contact with
each other.
Line dancing is a form of dance that takes place with a group of people. Participants
line up in rows and execute the same movements in a synchronized manner.
Everyone dances alone, side by side, facing the same direction in lines or rows. Each
dance consists of a sequence of steps that are repeated throughout the music. Although
a variety of music may be used, the major emphasis is on country-and-western music.
Line dancing involves people standing in lines and performing dance movements
together. It consists of patterned foot movements that are usually performed to a
number of counts per sequence, and then the sequence is repeated. The dances are
done one-wall, two-wall, or four-wall.

Line Dance Etiquette

The polite way to share and enjoy the Dance Floor.
• Never Step onto the dance floor carrying a drink, glasses or cans.
• Always walk around the edge of the dance floor.
• Never walk through lines of moving dancers.
• Never stay on the floor to talk - if music is playing go off the dance floor to chat.
• When dancing near beginners - be mindful and courteous and don't show off.
• Try to be helpful and welcoming to newcomers, visitors and guests.
• Only start a different dance if there is room and you sense it would be
acceptable.
• If the floor is crowded, take small steps, enjoy the company, but for watch
collisions.
• Should you bump into someone, it is nice to apologize whether it’s your fault or
not.
• Be polite and respectful to DJ's especially when making requests.
• Don't get grumpy and moan if your request is not played - it spoils it for others.
• Please and thank you goes a long way.
• Remember to give applause when dancing to live acts; don't just walk off
the floor.
• Should you accidentally knock someone's drink over, replace it immediately.
 12

• If possible, start another line rather than join one that will block the outside lanes.
• Don't be tempted to stop dancing to teach, go off the floor to teach.
• When starting a dance go to the front so others can fall in behind you.
• If appropriate, try to leave the outside edge clear for couple dancers.
• Those dancing around the outside have the right of way, don't
block their progress.
• Say thank you at the end of an enjoyable session.
• When dancing around the floor, the line of dance 'L.O.D' is always anti -
clockwise.
• Finally, keep your head up, keep smiling and enjoy yourselves.

How to Dress for Line Dancing

Line dancing is a great way to have fun with friends and meet new people. But if you've
never done it before, you might not know how to dress. Fortunately, you have a wide
array of options, ranging from cowboy boots to skirts that whirl. The key is to throw in a
splash of Country Western spice without overdoing the look.

Start with the right footwear. Pull on cowboy boots if you have a pair. Fringed moccasin-
style boots are a good alternative if you don't own the typical Western style ones. You
can also buy special line dancing shoes, made by Topline, that lace up and have a
small heel. These shoes are a good investment if you go line dancing frequently.

Zip into your favorite jeans. Denim with Western detail is also a good option. Women
might want to wear a skirt that moves as they twirl. Fringed leather is always a safe bet.
You can also find Country Western style flamenco dancer dresses for extra pizazz.

Bring on the fringe when you select a shirt. Cowboy shirts like the classic Brookes &
Dunn are always a good option. Women wearing skirts often pair them with a peasant
style top. If you feel like you've already gone overboard with the Western look with your
other articles of clothing, a simple white tee or button down is fine.
 13

Top off your look with a cowboy hat, if you have one. Bandanas are another option, tied
around your neck or over your head.

Accessorize with leather cowboy belts slung low around the hips. Make sure the belt
has a big, Western theme buckle. Women can wear dangly earrings with a Tex-Mex
look--but if they have long hair worn loose, they might want to stick to turquoise studs,
since hair and dangle earrings can get tangled during all of that turning around.

Tips

• If you don't feel like taking the Country Western plunge for your line dancing
experience, jeans and a tee or button-down with sneakers is perfectly
acceptable.

Line Dancing Steps and Variations

Borrowing from many different dance traditions, line dance steps vary from simple
walking to intricate turns and syncopated rhythms. Fortunately, there are many line
dances for beginners; these dances are all made up of very basic steps. For more
advanced dancers, variations can be added (for example substituting a three step turn
for a grapevine) to keep it interesting while ensuring that all levels of dancers can share
the dance floor for the same songs.

Brush
A brushing or sweeping movement of the ball of the foot against the floor.

Heel Dig
As simple as digging one heel into the ground, this can be performed with an accent by
bending the supporting leg. A further accent/variation is to hop out of the step instead of
simply stepping back onto your foot.

Double Heel Dig

For faster dances, sometimes a double heel dig is called for, where you, with your
weight firmly planted on your left leg, quickly dig your right heel into the ground twice,
usually to the front and slightly to the side.

Drag
To bring the non-supporting free foot slowly together to the supporting foot in a dragging
or sliding movement.

Grapevine (or Vine)

Traveling to the right or the left side, this step is performed (to the right), as follows:

• Right foot steps to the right

• Left foot crosses behind the right one
• Right foot steps to the right
• Left foot closes to the left side of the right foot
 15

Grapevine Variations: As you become more advanced, vary the fourth step of the
grapevine by replacing it with a heel dig or by scuffing the bottom of your boot against
the floor and bringing your left foot back up into the air.

Hop
Start with weight of the supporting foot, spring into the air and land on the same foot.

Weave
Combining the grapevine with a cross in front as well as a cross behind, this move will
let the dancer travel in zigzag on the floor. One complete cycle looks like this:

• Step your right foot to the right

• Cross your left foot behind your right foot
• Step your right foot to the right
• Cross your left foot in front of your right foot
• Repeat steps 1-4 as many times as you want. When you want to end the weave, do
steps 3 and 4 of the grapevine step to complete the weave.

Jazz Square or Jazz Box

You may know this step from jazz class. It can be performed to the right or the left; it's
often performed twice in a row in the same direction:

• Step your right foot across your left foot

• Step your left foot back and to the side
• Step to the right side with your right foot
• Close your left foot to the left side of your right foot

Triple Step
This is three steps in a musical triplet during two beats of music traveling in any
direction. Similar to a Step-Ball-Change in tap dancing, this step involves the following
three steps (or opposite if starting with the left foot instead of the right):

• Step onto your right foot

• Step onto the ball of your left foot, placing your weight on the foot
• Step quickly onto the right foot without having lingered on the left. The weight
transfer to your left foot should only have been deep enough to free you to pick up
your right foot and step onto it.
•
 16

While it's not always called the Charleston, this step is frequently used in country line
dancing (it probably will be called 'step-tap, step-tap' by the caller):

• Step forward onto your right foot

• Step your left foot forward, in front of your right foot, but don't put your weight on it
• Step backwards onto your left foot
• Tap your right foot behind your left one, then repeat

Pivot Turn
A simple turn, a pivot is a half turn. Dances often use two pivot turns in a row in order to
complete a full 360 degree rotation:

• Step forward onto your right foot, but keep the weight centered on the ball of your
foot.
• With your weight evenly distributed between both feet, turn your body a half turn to
the left, ending up with your left foot in front

Kick-Ball-Change
A favorite in cowboy boots, this step is easy to perform but looks difficult because it is
executed quickly:

• With your weight firmly on your left foot, kick your right foot in front of you, leading
with the heel
• Step your right foot behind you, but only put your weight on the ball of your foot in
order to quickly again transfer your weight in step three
• Step, hard (loudly) onto your left foot

Slide
Step on one foot and draw the non-supporting foot up to the supporting foot in a
dragging movement.

Step
Transfer foot from one foot to the other.

TOPIC 6: CHA CHA CHA LINE DANCE

The cha-cha dance originated from Cuba and was originally known as the cha-cha-cha.
The dance gained popularity around the 1950's and was created from two other dances
– the 'mambo' and the 'danzon'. While working with the charanga group 'Orquesta
America' in Cuba performed at dance halls in Havana. Enrique Jorrin, a violinist and
composer, realized that most of the crowds related the danzon-mambo rhythm to a
much slower mambo dance and thus had hardship adopting the syncopated rhythms.
He decided to compose music that strongly focused on the first downbeat such that the
 20

rhythm became less syncopated. This caused the crowd dancers to develop a triple
step, creating the sound 'cha-cha-cha' with their shoes, thus the cha-cha-cha was born.

Basic steps:

1. Side with left foot

2. Back with right foot
3. Replace weight on left foot
4. Triple step in place/side
5. Forward with left foot
6. Replace weight on right foot
7. Triple step in place/side

TOPIC 7: SAMBA LINE DANCE

Samba is recognized around the world as a symbol of Brazil and the Brazilian Carnival.
Considered one of the most popular Brazilian cultural expressions, the samba has
become an icon of Brazilian national identity. The Bahian Samba de Roda (dance
circle), was added to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2005. It is the
main root of the samba carioca, the samba that is played and danced in Rio de Janeiro.

The modern samba that emerged at the beginning of the 20th century is predominantly
in a 2/4-time signature varied with the conscious use of a sung chorus to a batucada
rhythm, with various stanzas of declaratory verses. Traditionally, the samba is played by
strings (cavaquinho and various types of guitar) and various percussion instruments
such as tamborim. Influenced by American orchestras in vogue since the Second World
War and the cultural impact of US music post-war, samba began to use trombones,
trumpets, choros,[clarification needed] flutes, and clarinets.

Basic steps:

1. On the first beat of the music, slide the right foot back very slightly and put the body's
full weight on it.
2. Sliding the left foot back, let the weight shift subtly onto the ball of the left foot. This
move is also subtle, with the left heel never even making it to the floor.
3. After the right leg rises because of the ball change, let it come back fully to the floor,
with the full weight coming back.

TOPIC 8: REGGAE LINE DANCE – PHILIPPINE VERSION

Filipino reggae or Pinoy reggae is reggae music created in the Philippines. The country
has several bands and sound systems that play reggae and dancehall music in a style
faithful to its expression in Jamaica. Reggae in the Philippines comprises the many
forms of reggae and its subgenres, and at times combining traditional Filipino forms of
music and instruments in their music.

The provinces of Aklan (mainly Boracay Island), Quezon, Pampanga and Pangasinan,
Negros Occidental and Negros Oriental, Palawan, Surigao del Norte (mainly Siargao
Island) and Marinduque, and the cities of Manila, Cebu and Davao are some of the
places that reggae has found a base, with many artists residing in these cities and
performing at local bars and clubs. The Visayas section of the Philippines has had the
largest concentration of reggae groups, with Cebu City of Central Visayas even being
dubbed "The Reggae Capital of the Philippines". In early 2007, Ziggy Marley performed
at the MTV Philippines festival, "Reggae Fest by the Bay" in Manila. Marley played with
local Filipino reggae talents.
