ACTIVITY 4. Answer the following questions in complete sentence.

1. Why is dance a part of the cultural heritage of all people?

 Because dancing is an important part of our cultural heritage. Cultural heritage is not
just a set of cultural objects or traditions from the past. It also the result of a selection
process. If you were to look at the cultural geographic areas of the world, you would
encounter commonalities and differences that make each country or region unique.

2. Why are formations and positions important in folk dancing?

 Because formations and positions are essential to a child’s further development in

dance. These positions comprise the most basic and most important strong hold in
dancing. Basic steps, basic movements, basic patterns, or simply “basics” in dance
defines the character of a particular dance. It sets the rhythm of dance. It is the
default move to which a dancer returns when not performing any other moves. For
some dances, it is sufficient to know the basic steps performed in different hand
holds and dance positions to enjoy it socially.

3. What makes us feel proud of our Filipino dancers?

 I will not generalize and say that Filipinos are “so talented” as singers or dancers. I
do not think that we are any more talented than other nationalities.
What I would say, however, is that we like singing and dancing and when people
have a lot of practice with these skills, they get good at it. When dancing become a
means to get fame and fortune, it fuels more dancing. That Filipinos are supposed to
be good singers and dancers is a myths that originates and is held up high by
Filipinos themselves and that what makes us feel proud of our Filipino dancers.
