 What I Need to Know

The rise of the 21st century competitive arts heralded the emergence of new
dance styles that are competitive in nature. These are the trendy and sporty
dances such as hip-hop and cheerdance. Although innovations have been
introduced through the years, these dances remain an irreplaceable way of
expressing human thought and emotion and captured the interest of the new
generation due to its more upbeat music and fierce movements.

In this module, we will discuss the history, nature, characteristics, and basic
movements of hip-hop and cheerdance that can be considered moderate-to-
vigorous physical activity (MVPA). These dance is regarded not only an art
form with technical and expressive aspect but also sports form due to its high
physiological capacity. Hip-hop and cheerdancing as a form of exercise
requires planned, structured and repetitive bodily movement that affects our
heart rate. Physiological indicators such as heart rates and rate of perceived
exertion (RPE) as well as the exercise intensity can be calculated and can be
monitored by checking your pulse.

At the end of this module, you will engage dancing hip-hop and cheerdance as
MVPA. You will be given activities to display and enhance your skills in hip-
hop and cheerdancing. Monitoring your heart rate and rate of perceived
exertion is essential as you participate actively in this dance exercise. You will
also discover how these dances can revitalize your body and mind, and sustain
lifelong fitness while taking into considerations your target heart zone.

The module is divided into three lessons, namely:

 Lesson 1 – Hip-Hop
 Lesson 2 – Cheerdance
 Lesson 3 – Exercise Physiology Indicators

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. discuss the nature of hip-hop and cheer dances;
2. analyze physiological indicators such as heart rate, rate of perceived
exertion and pacing associated with MVPA’s to monitor and/or adjust
participation or effort; and
3. engage in moderate to vigorous physical activities (MVPA’s) for at least
60 minutes most days of the week in a variety of settings in and-out-of-
school.

 What is It

Lesson
1 Hiphop

Brief History
The word hip-hop was derived from the word “hep”, an African-American
vernacular English language since 1904 which means “current”. It was
apparently invented by a New York rapper Kevin Donovan, (known as Afrika
Bambaataa), who was dubbed as the Grandfather of Hip-hop. The dancing
style of Hip-Hop developed from the music style that was first introduced
during the 1970s in New York City among young Hispanic and African-
American communities and was made popular in the 1980s by media’s
exposure of several hip-hop dance groups in America. These group of young
people were looking for a creative outlet to vent their frustrations and
disappointments with society. It started with funky beats reverberating at
house or basement parties and the streets of New York. Hip-hop evolved as a
street dance which was a cultural dance variation in the United States and is
generally a form of entertainment where technical and teachable dance
aspects replaced the cultural symbolism and message of the true essence of
African-American hip-hop dance. The word street dance arrived in the
Philippines from the United States during the 1980s but only gained
unparalleled popularity during the 1990s. There are various street dance
battles held locally across the country as well as hip-hop dance competitions
internationally. The first Philippine Team who won the World Hip Hop Dance
Championships is the Philippine All Stars. One of the pioneers of street dance
in the Philippines is Jungee Marcelo. Marcelo started the first formal street
dance class in the Philippines after arriving from US in 1991. After almost 11
years of living in a community dominated by African-Americans in Los
Angeles, he brought with him his knowledge of urban dance in the country.
Nature and Characteristics:
 The movement of hip-hop dance contains an assertive angularity of
body posture and an insistent virtuosic rhythmicity.
 It is freestyle in nature and maybe practiced in either a dance studio or
in an open space outdoor.

6
  It consists of four fundamental characteristics such as rapping (MCing);
Disc jockeying (DJing); Break dancing (B-boying); and Graffiti Art
(Aerosol Art).
 Can also be described by elements such as bounce or recoil, tightening
of the body, agility and coordination, and fun.
 It has several styles that comprise two main categories, the Old school
(breaking, popping, and locking) and the New school (house, krumping,
street jazz).

Lesson Cheer Dance

2
Brief History
Cheer dance is a physical activity with a combination of different dance genre
and gymnastics skills such as tumbling, pyramids, tosses and stunts. The
routines usually range anywhere from one to three minutes and they are done
to direct spectators to cheer for sports teams or participate in cheer dance
competition. Cheer dance is relatively new in the field of sports and dance as

8
it has only emerged during the 1990s as part of the cheerleading events.
Cheerleading history is linked closely to the United States history of sports, its
sporting venues, as well as the historical development of over-all crowd
participation at many athletic events. However, its origins can be traced as far
back as the late 19th century where in 1860s, students from Great Britain began
to cheer and chant in unison for their favorite athletes at sporting events. This
event eventually reached and influenced America. Cheerleading for the first 25
years was an all-male activity. It was only during the 1920s when women
cheerleaders participated in cheerleading.
Nature and Characteristics:
 As a dance technique, some squad prefer contemporary dance
techniques, while others incorporate several techniques such as jazz,
hip-hop, modern dance, contemporary ballet and ethnic of folk.
Emphasis is on the placement, sharpness and synchronicity of the
movements.
 There must be cheers which are coordination of organized words and
movements relating to an athletic event. These are used during a sport
event when play has been stopped on the field or court.
 Cheer motions are also used to lead the crowd and emphasize words for
crowd response. These are made up of hand, arm, and body positions.

Lesson Exercise Physiology Indicators

3

Dance is mainly an integrated art form between technical and expressive

aspects. In addition, since most dance performance requires high physiological
capacity due to its characteristics included a moderate-high intensity, high
skill, and predominantly intermittent activity. When trying to develop cardio-
respiratory, the intensity of exercise must not be ignored. The intensity of
exercise or Training Intensity (TI) can be calculated easily, and training can be
monitored by identifying your resting heart rate (pulse beat at rest), maximal
heart rate and heart rate reserved.
The Resting Heart Rate (RHR)
Your pulse is your heart rate, or the number of times your heart beats in one
minute. Pulse rates vary from person to person. Your pulse is lower when you
are at rest and increases when you exercise (more oxygen-rich blood is needed
by the body when you exercise). Knowing how to take your pulse can help you
evaluate your exercise program. To get your pulse beat, follow the steps:

14
1. Place the tips of your index, second and third fingers on the palm side of
your other wrist below the base of the thumb or, place the tips of your index
and second fingers on your lower neck on either side of your windpipe.
2. Press lightly with your fingers until you feel the blood pulsing beneath your
fingers. You may need to move your fingers around slightly up or down until
you feel the pulsing. Use a watch with a second hand, or look at a clock with
a second hand.
3. Count the beats you feel for 10 seconds. Multiply this number by six to get
your heart rate (pulse) per minute.
4. Compute using the formula: RHR = Pulse: beats in 10 seconds x 6 =
beats per minute (bpm).

Normal heart rates at rest for children whose age is 6 to15 is 70 to 100 bpm
while adults whose age is 18 and over is 60 to 100 bpm.

The Maximal Heart Rate (MHR)

Maximal Heart Rate (MHR) is the maximum number of beats made by your heart
in 1 minute of effort. When walking quickly, you will be in an endurance zone, with
a heart rate of between 60% and 75% of your maximum heart rate (MHR).
Knowing your rate means listening to your body. Recent research indicates that
the traditional equation of 220 – age over predicts maximal heart rate (MHR)
in people 40 years and younger, and under predicts MHR in individuals above 40
years old. Instead, it is advisable to use 207 as constant MHR from birth that
decreases by 1 beat per year.
The Heart Rate Reserved (HRR)
Heart Rate Reserve (HRR) is the difference between your Resting Heart Rate and
your Maximum Heart Rate. It is used primarily for determining heart rate zones
during exercise, and the amount of cushion in heartbeats available for exercise.
Health and cardio-respiratory (CR) fitness benefits result when a person is
working between 30 to 85 percent of heart rate reserve (HRR) combined with an
appropriate duration and frequency of training. Health benefits are achieved when
training at a lower exercise intensity, that is between 30 to 60 percent of the
person’s HRR. Even greater health and cardio protective benefits, and higher and
faster improvements in CR fitness (VO2max), however are achieved primarily
though vigorous intensity programs (at intensity above 60 percent). To compute
for your HRR, subtract the resting heart rate from the maximal heart rate: HRR
= MHR – RHR.
The Target Heart Rate (THR)
Target Heart Rate (THR) is generally expressed as a percentage (usually
between 50 percent and 85 percent) of your maximum safe heart rate. This is
used to identify Training Intensity (TI). Training intensity is the amount of
effort you are putting in to whatever exercise you are doing. Walking a dog will
(most of the time) be low to medium intensity based on your speed of

15
walking but running with your dog will be high intensity. The TI of a person
can be measured in different levels such as follows:
1. low intensity (heart rate is 68-to-92 beats per minute);
2.moderate intensity (heart rate is 93-to-118 beats per minute); and
3. high intensity (heart rate is more than 119 beats per minute).

In participating low (or light) activities, a person should have at least 30-40%
MHR. For moderate activities, it is recommended to have at least 50-60%
MHR. For high (or vigorous) activities, it is good to have at least or greater
than 70% MHR.
To determine the intensity of exercise or cardio-respiratory training zone
according to heart rate reserve, follow these steps:
 Estimate your maximal heart rate (MHR) according to the following
formula: MHR = 207 – (0.7 x age)
 Check your resting heart rate (RHR) for a full minute in the evening,
after you have been sitting quietly for about 30 minutes reading or
watching a relaxing TV show.
 Determine the heart rate reserve (HRR)
 Calculate the Training Intensity (TI) at 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 85 percent.
Multiply the heart rate reserve by respective 0.30, 0.40, 0.50, 0.60,
0.70, and 0.85, and then add the resting heart rate to all four of these
figures (e.g., 60% TI = HRR x .60 + RHR).

Example: The 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 85 percent TIs for a 20-year-old
with a RHR of 68 bpm would be as follows:

MHR: 207 - (0.7 x 20) = 193 bpm

RHR: 68 bpm
HRR: 193 – 68 = 125 bpm
Range of Cardio-Respiratory
% TRAINING INTENSITY (TI) Training Zone
TI = HRR x % + RHR
(range based on TI)
30 (125 x .30) + 68 = 106 bpm Light Intensity
(125 x .40) + 68 = 118 bpm (106-118 bpm)
40
50 (125 x .50) + 68 = 131 bpm Moderate Intensity
(125 x .60) + 68 = 143 bpm (119- 143 bpm)
60

70 (125 x .70) + 68 = 155 bpm Vigorous Intensity

(125 x .85) + 68 = 174 bpm (144-174 bpm)
85

The Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE)
When your body is challenged to do more than what is used to, changes in your
body start to occur. If the physical activity is too easy for your body, changes,
if any, would be minimal. Hence your body should be challenged and more
effort should be exerted. The Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is a way
of measuring physical activity intensity level. Perceived exertion is how hard
you feel like your body is working. In conducting physical activity, consider the
Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE):

Chart on Borg’s Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE)

Rating Description Rating Description
6 14
Very, very light Hard
7 15
8 16
Very light
9 17 Very hard
10 18
Fairly light
11 19
12 20 Very, very hard
Somewhat hard
13

To determine your approximate heart rate, simply multiply your Borg's RPE
by 10. For instance, an RPE score of 16 × 10 = 160 beats per minute. The scale
was designed with the average healthy adult in mind.

 What I Have Learned

1. Both hip-hop and cheerdance movement incorporates locomotor and

non-locomotor movements. Locomotor movements are those that
incorporate traveling from one point to another while non-locomotor
movements are body movements without travel. Manipulative
movements involve both the body and an object. Combining any of the
locomotor and non-locomotor movements will create another step.
2. The American Heart Association generally recommends a target heart
rate of moderate exercise intensity: 50% to about 70% of your maximum
heart rate and vigorous exercise intensity: 70% to about 85% of your
maximum heart rate.
3. Once you know your target heart zone, you'll be able to monitor whether
you're achieving your goals in a safe manner. Regular exercise can go a
long way to keep your heart rate healthy. Moderate amounts of physical
activity are recommended daily. Choose any dance style that you find
enjoyable and fits into your daily routine. Your participation in these
activities could easily be sustained since you personally enjoy doing
them and you even do it in your own time. Hence, strict adherence to a
regular physical activity is very viable.
4. Higher resting heart rate is associated with an increased risk of
cardiovascular diseases. If you're worried about it, it's a good idea to
consult with your doctor about what may be causing it. Regular physical
activity, regardless of how hard it is, makes you healthier and can help
protect you from many chronic diseases. However, exercising at low
levels of exertion does little to improve physical fitness.
5. The target zone for dancing activities is from 12-16. If you find the
activity as “very, very light” (7) to about “fairly light” (11), you need to
increase the intensity of your physical activity to reach “somewhat hard”
(13), depending on your goal. You can also increase frequency and time,
or change the type. However, if you find the activity as “very hard” (19),
you might want to check your FITT formula. Remember, health
promotion does not mean exhaustion or risking yourself of getting
injuries.

such as:

1. SUSTAINED- movements are done smoothly and does not have clear beginning and
ending;
2. PERCUSSIVE- movements are explosive or sharp in contrast with sustained. They have a
clear beginning and ending;
3. VIBRATORY- consist of trembling or shaking. A faster version of percussive movements;
4. SWINGING - movements trace a curved line or an arc in space;
5. SUSPENDED - movement are perched in space or hanging on air;

6. COLLAPSING – a slow collapse which can be describe as melting or oozing action in a

downward direction.
