 What’s In

Dance, the great mother of the arts. The preeminence

given to the art of dance probably stems also from the
fact that compared to other arts, dance fulfills a number
of very different functions including the religious, the
military, and the social. Dance is an outlet of different
emotions and a pattern of our daily lives of different
society accompanied by certain music. It also refers to the movement set to music where
organization, structure, and pattern merge. The materials for dance begin with the body,
including body awareness, body bases, body parts and body zones. The body uses
movement vocabulary developed from using the elements of dance to express and give form
to feelings and ideas in choreography and performance.

Dance as Emotional Expression

Dance is an expressive tool that can give a person a new emotional outlet to deal with
feelings which at times are intense or overwhelming. It is important and healing to have
positive ways to deal with feelings and to move with energy out of body, instead of squelching
or repressing it. - Emovere (dance is essentially emotion in motion). The word emotion is
derived from the latin word “emovere” meaning to move, move out or move through.
Dance as an Artistic Expression
Dance is an exposure of human body in its most naked form whether one is raising their
hand or performing. - Dance is a natural form of self-expression: the body expresses itself
naturally and so therefore does the spirit. We are all free willed beings, no matter what our
personal situation may be. Through dance, our body expresses how free we actually are,
while also highlighting the restrictions our minds impose on it.

 What I Can Do

INSTRUCTION:
• Students will listen to a variety of music and design an appropriate dance
presentation. This activity encourages students to appreciate, and examine
different styles of music as well as create dance presentations that are
specifically related to the music.
• A variety of short pieces of music preferably with no words
• Play a piece of music and ask students to listen to it carefully, think about what
it's about and how it makes them feel.
• Play the music again and ask students to move to the music. If the music is fast,
encourage them to move fast. At the same time, ask students to show you how
the music makes them feel. If it is happy, then there should be smiles on their
faces.
• Continue through the whole song.
• Play another piece of music and repeat the thinking process. After the music is
finished ask three or four students to come up to the front of the camera. Play the
music again and ask them to dance to the music appropriately. This time instead
of asking them how they should dance, point out how they are dancing.
• Repeat the process until everyone had a chance to dance in front of the camera
or Record your output

Evaluation:
