WE’RE ON OUR WAY:
From your answers above, will you please elaborate/explain each of those things why you Can say it’s
important for a better dance presentation?
These are the things that dancers must do in order to perform well on stage :
First is MUSIC - Music plays significant role in dancing because It is used as accompaniment
that somehow motivates the dancers’ movement.
Second is MOVEMENT Concept, because Refers to action of dances with the use of their bodies
to create organized patterns whether LOCOMOTOR OR NON-LOCOMOTOR.
Third is THEME, because it pertains to the content or main ingredient of the dance and it actually
conveys the message of the dance.
Fourth is TECHNIQUES it refers to the skill in executing movement and also One needs to have a
complete control over the muscles of his body for him/her to be said technically proficient.
Fifth is DESIGN, because it refers to the arrangement of movements according to pattern in time
(either fast or slow) and space (either PLACE: PERSONAL, GENERAL
-SIZE:SMALL,MEDIUM,BIG).
Sixth is PROPS & COSTUME, because these contribute to the visual effect of dance.
Seventh is ENERGY, because when there’s an energy ( either
LIGHT,STRONG,WEAK,SHARP,SMOOTH ) audience or judges will be zestful to watch.
 Lastly is WEIGHT, in dancing weights really matter because in order to perform our movements
well we should know how to organize the different weights either it's LIGHT,MEDIUM,
HEAVY. Also by knowing the weight of performers we can balance the space if where can they
stay or assign place for them.

HOW FAR HAVE WE GONE:

I’m done talking! Let’s assess our learnings for this Unit.
Knowing the elements and features of dance, how can these improve your overall dance
presentation? Writea200-word essay about the significance of the elements and features of
dance in your overall presentation.

Dance is a form of art that is made by purposefully recreating selected sequences of human
motion, which can be imbued with the values of aesthetic and symbolism that are acknowledged by
both performers and observers from within the particular culture. Knowing the elements and
features of dance improves my all over dance presentation by applying it and taking into
consideration the lessons of elements and features of dance in order to perform the dance well
and to make it perfect as possible. In knowing the elements and features of dance , it teaches me
in a different many ways to have a nicely and capably of performance in terms of dancing.
Features of dance includes MUSIC, MOVEMENT, THEME, TECHNIQUES, DESIGN and
PROPERTIES AND COSTUME. These elements of dance are the concepts and able to express
the expression for building up movements skills. Also it enable dance understood as an art form.
In the other hand elements of dance includes BODY and MOVEMENT CONCEPTS, TIME,
SPACE, WEIGHT, and ENERGY. These features of dance serves as a vital role in dancing, that
without dance the elements and features will never be able to do. Being in able to identify the two
deeply I can now have the knowledge by doing my dances well maybe not now but soon. I believe
that all my learning in this module I can use it when the right time comes.
