This module is divided into two lessons and
each lesson is taken every week.
(Week 1 & Week 2)

Hi! How are you? Let us explore the

basics of Social Dance

Are you ready?

What’s In

Let us recall the definition of physical fitness and its components.

Physical fitness is the ability to function efficiently and
effectively to enjoy leisure, to be healthy, to resist disease
and cope with emergency situations. Physical fitness
consists of two major components and these are Health-
Related Physical Fitness component and Skill-Related

Part I. PAR-Q (Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire)

Assess yourself if you are ready in physical activities by taking the PAR-Q (Physical
Activity Readiness Questionnaire). Copy the template below and accomplish it in
your paper.

Name:
Questions Yes No
Has your doctor ever said that you have a heart condition and
that you should only do physical activity recommended by a
doctor?
Do you feel pain in your chest when you do physical activity?
In the past month, have you had chest pain when you were not
doing physical activity?
Do you lose your balance because of dizziness or have you ever
lost consciousness?
Do you have a bone or joint problem (for example, back, knee,
hip) that could be made worse by a change in your physical
activity?
Is your doctor currently prescribing drugs for your heart
condition?
Do you know of any other reason why you should not do physical
activity?

Let’s see what the questionnaire revealed about the learner’s readiness:

 If you answered YES to any of these questions, talk with your doctor before
you start engaging in physical activity. Tell your doctor about the PAR-Q and
which questions you answered yes.

 What’s New

Welcome to the first part of your lessons in Social Dances and Dance
Mixers! In this phase, you will be provided with activities that will activate your prior
knowledge as regards the lesson. From here, follow-up activities will be given to elicit
your tentative understandings. As you go through the rest of the activities,
misconceptions and alternative conceptions you have in mind will be clarified.
Finally, your knowledge, considering its adequacy and relevance, will be assessed at
the end of this phase. So, what are you waiting for? The dance floor is yours!

What it is

Nature and Background of Social Dances and

Dance Mixers

Social dances and dance mixers are dances intended primarily to get to know
other people in attendance to a certain social function. They are also called ballroom
dances. They are usually performed in pairs, male and female, but may also be
performed in groups. Social dances are classified into two major classifications
namely the Latin American Dances and the Modern Standard Dances. Social Dances
are communal dances performed in social gatherings in any given space. They are
synonymously referred to as ballroom dances, but the former is performed in balls
or formal social functions. Latin American Dances include the salsa, mambo,
meringue, swing, cha-cha-cha, rumba, samba, jive, boogie, and Paso doble. They are
called Latin American dances because most of them are from the Latin-American
countries. While the Modern Standard Dances include the slow waltz, tango,
Viennese waltz, foxtrot and quickstep. Latin dances distinguish themselves by the
costumes worn by performers. They are somewhat revealing, tight-fitting, sexy yet
sophisticated in nature. They are also distinguished by the nature of the movements.
They are freer and can be performed in close or open hold. Standard dances on the
other hand, wear formal, ankle-length gowns for females and coat-and-tie for males.
Most of the time, movements in these are restricted to close ballroom position with
partner.

5
 Social or ballroom dances are different from dance sport because the latter is
freer in nature and are primarily intended to widen one’s social horizon, for
recreation; and fitness. The former is performed in competitions and are referred to
as competitive ballroom dancing.

The required athleticism has established rules of different levels of difficulty

and is limited to five dances per category only. They are the cha-cha-cha, rumba,
samba, paso doble and jive for the Latin category and slow waltz, tango, Viennese
waltz, foxtrot and quickstep for the standard category.

The origin of dances in both the Latin American and Modern Standard groups
might also help in understanding the nature and background of social dances and
dance mixers. Below is where each of the dances enumerated came from:

Latin American Dances Origin Modern Standard Origin

Dances
Cha-cha-cha Cuba Slow Waltz Austria
Rumba Cuba Tango Argentina
Samba Brazil Viennese Walt z Vienna
Paso Doble Spain Foxtrot USA
Jive/Boogie USA Quickstep USA
Swing USA
Merengue Dominican Republic
Salsa Cuba
Mambo Cuba

Dance mixers, on the other hand, are social dances which allow group of
performers to change partners periodically while dancing to allow chance to get to
know other members of the performing group. Its primary function is to maximize
the social dimensions of dancing. There are specific dance mixers that are performed
in social events but ballroom or social dance can be converted into dance mixers by
expanding it from a pair-dancing to group dancing activity with exchange of partners
periodically while dancing.

BENEFITS

1. Improves your social life

This will allow you to interact with new people every week and you will
meet more people each time you go out. Meeting people while dancing is an
amazing way to make new friends, and increase your social circle. As another
bonus, social dancing can help to prevent feelings of loneliness-due to the
sociability of dancing with a partner.

6
2. Improves Your Social Skills
It helps improve your social life by increasing your social skills and making
it easier to communicate and interact with others. It is all about interacting with
your partner and making connections. It can help you to beat shyness, and can
make it easier for you to relate to people in new social settings.

3. Helps Sharpen Your Mind

It means that you will be making split second decisions, learning to follow
the patterns of your dance partner, and adding more style and flair to your
dancing. These decisions will help to keep your mind sharp, and active. It also
helps sharpen your mind by increasing your interaction with others and giving
you more opportunities to expand your horizon.

4. Reduces Stress
This is an effective method of stress reduction. It works by reducing the
hormone associated with stress. Dancing alone, while beneficial in other areas-
it has not been proven to reduce stress. Social dancing with a partner has positive
effects on stress reduction and research shows that moving with others expands
your sense of social connectedness. A great way to lower stress levels.

5. Provides New Cultural Experience

This will give your opportunity to discover new aspects of different cultures
through different dances and you will be able to find new cultural experiences as
you meet new people.

6. Improves Your Outlook

Dancers often experience a more positive outlook on life in general, and
dancing can be an excellent mood booster. Additionally, dancing increases blood
flow to the brain, slowing down cognitive decline.

7. Builds Strength
The more time you spend dancing with your partner, the more strength
you will build. Depending on the type of dance you do, you will build up strength
in different areas of your body. Another fun fact: the muscle exertion and
breathing rates of dancers performing in dance competition is equivalent to that
of cyclists, swimmers, and Olympic 800m runners.

What’s New

DANCE ETIQUETTE OF SOCIAL DANCES AND DANCE

MIXERS
Dance etiquette is the set of conventional rules which govern the social
behavior of social dance by way of its participants. Such policies encompass the way
the participants must look and the manner wherein they approach, dance with and
leave their partner. Etiquette can vary in its specification and stringency among
different forms of dance.

Why is dance etiquette significant? Because it helps you fit in with the social
dance crowd and makes social interaction easier. It helps you keep the peace and
avoid getting into conflicts with other dancers. It shows that you care about and
respect other people and most importantly, it helps you build a good reputation for
yourself, both as a person and as a dancer.

WEAR

more formal the dance, the more formal the outfit.

DON’Ts IN TERMS OF OUTFITS and DANCE SHOES:

not wear sneaker or any shoe with rubber or spongy sole. They can stick
to the dance floor during turns and spins that may cause knee and ankle
injuries. Always wear dance shoes.

9
 Avoid sleeveless shirts and strapped dresses. It’s not pleasant to have
your partner touch our damp skin

Avoid shaggy, baggy, low armpit upper shirt. Partner’s hand may get
caught in the baggy sleeves.
Avoid accessories like big rings, watches, brooches, loose/long necklaces
and big belt buckles. They can be dangerous. They can catch in partner’s
clothing, causing scratches and bruises.

Long hair should be put up or tied in a ponytail. It is difficult to get into

closed dance positions when the lady has long flowing hair. They might
get caught in partner’s hands or may even hit your partner’s face.
