LESSON

Active Recreation is a therapeutic refreshment of relaxations of one’s body and

mind. Activities done for this purpose are called recreational activities. Its main
objective is revitalize the physical, mental, social, and emotional aspects of a person.
In today’s situation, the world is facing a pandemic (COVID19), we all need to
engage in recreational activities to relieve our tensions.
Dance is a recreational activity that can develop our physical, mental, social,
and emotional health. Dancing as part of our lifestyle can surely sustain our fitness.
But it should be coupled with proper eating habits and weight management in order
for a person to live a healthy lifestyle.
 Dance is defined in different ways by
different people or authors of the art form.

• Dance transforms images, ideas and feelings into sequences of movement that
are personally and socially significant.
• Dance is a performance art form consisting of purposefully selected sequences
of human movement that has aesthetic and symbolic value, and is
acknowledge as dance within a culture.
• Dance, the movements of the body in a rhythmic way, usually to music and
within a given space, for the purpose of expressing an idea or emotion,
releasing energy, or simply taking delight in the movement itself.
• Dance is a broadly conceived as physical movement organized into patterns
in time and space.

Have you wondered where the dance came from? Or when did it started? Who
is the first person who learns to dance? In this module we will answer all of those
questions.

UNDERSTANDING DANCE
The universal knowledge of dance is a movement using the body as the
medium or instrument to express its meaning, or significance. To comprehend a
dance, one must gain background and understanding from simple to complex
movements interpreting how and why the use of the body part and whole body to a
particular order hence, Dance becomes a physical activity executed in a musical
pattern and an accompaniment. The nature of human body calls for its natural
impulse and rhythm and therefore exhibits a natural phenomenon on how it moves
in space (an area of the performance) or the body space itself or space that is referred
to as the freedom of movement without the obstruction wherein the body that
expresses unique properties and qualities.
HISTORICAL ACCOUNTS OF DANCE

• Plato concurred with his master Socrates that every educated man
should know how to dance gracefully-underscoring the manly exercises
that kept a body strong, supple and ready to do its duty are all taken
from the training called weapon dance or war dance.
 • From among the Greeks, dancing was associated with Dionysian
merrymaking, as evidence on vase paintings
and stone carvings as presented by scientist of
the time.
• The early Christians included their
teachings a love-hate relationship to the body, as
they could not accommodate the dancing body to
their worship.
On other hand, Dances are unlike paintings or
sculpture. Apparently and in certain cultural
context, they are created, appreciated and analysed
as art works of human movement.
The earliest history of human dance is a continuing mystery. Some archaeologists
have speculated that dance originated some 5,000 to 9,000 years ago in early
agricultural cultures. Speculations aside. Our specific knowledge of prehistoric
dances is lacking, and many experts have extrapolated dance history from the
preserved ritual dances of various preliterate societies.
Many native dances reflect most of the purposes of dance. They are of a ritualistic
or ceremonial nature.

• The war dance, expressing prayer for success and thanksgiving for victory.
• The dance of exorcism or healing, performed by shamans to drive out evil
spirits;
• The dance of invocation, calling on the gods for help in farming, hunting, the
fertility of human beings and animals, and other tribal concerns;
• Initiation dances for secret societies;
• Mimetic dances, illustrating events in tribal history, legends, or mythology;
• Dances representing cosmic processes;
• The dance of courtship, an invocation for success of love;
• Dance of religious ecstasy, in which hypnotic or trance-like states are induce.

Dance teaches the importance of

movement and fitness in the variety of reasons. Dancers learn to coordinate muscles
to move through proper positions and can be a way to stay fit for people of all ages,
shapes, and sizes. Dance is an enjoyable health-promoting physical activity which
many people include into their lifestyle today.
Not only is it important physically but contributes to one’s mental health and social
interactions.
