DANCE AS STRESS MANAGEMENT

(Week 3 & 4)

Background Information for Learners

Dance can be used in so many ways. One of the functions of a dance is to relieve stress. In
able for us to avoid chronic illness or diseases, we opted to seek activities that may help us to
have a healthy living. Avoiding stress can make our life easy and much more fun. Through
dancing, we lead to a healthy lifestyle.
Dance is purposeful. It plays a vital role for self-expression and has been part of rituals and
religious gatherings. It is also part of our culture and traditions throughout the years. It was
passed from one generation to another. Its functions become extensive that it can even create
a great impact in our daily lives.
Dance is a form of exercise. It provides proper body coordination, mobility and reduces
tension in the body. It calms our mind and releases toxins in our body.
Dance offers a creative outlet for people to express their personalities in a safe
environment
Your work environment is not always the best place to express who really you are. More
often, than not, you need to be a more buttoned up version of yourself and hide much of your
inner self. Dancing offers an outlet for people to express who they are- through music,
movement or even costumes. Dancing helps you connect to whom you really are.
Dancing Improves Your Physical Health
From weight loss, to increasing flexibility, stronger bones and building muscle tone, dancing
is a total body workout. Dancing can be a way to stay fit people of all ages, shapes, and sizes.
It has a wide range of physical and mental benefits. And nothing makes you feel less stressed
than when you know you are doing great things for your physical and mental health.
It is well- known today that stress is a silent killer and causes things from inflammation in the
heart to psychological distress. However, you can avoid these terrible effects by taking simple
measures like dancing.

1 Note: Practice personal hygiene always.

Three Ways Why Dancing Relieves Stress

1. When the Body Feels Good, The Mind Does, Too!

• The scientific reason why dance can act as a stress reliever stems from the idea
that when the body feels good, the mind does, too.
• Any type of physical activity releases neurotransmitters and endorphins which
alleviate stress. Neurotransmitters are chemicals within the brain that help
communicate messages throughout the body.
• Endorphins are the body’s natural painkiller to reduce stress and improve the
mind’s perception of the world.

2. Dance Offers a Creative Outlet for People to Express their Personalities in a Safe
Environment

• Dancing offers an outlet for people to express who they are––through music,
movement or even costumes.
• Dancing helps you connect to who you really are. Leave that suit or pencil skirt at
the office and trade it in for sparkles and spandex.

3. Dancing Improves Your Physical Health

• From weight loss, to increasing flexibility, stronger bones and building muscle
tone, dancing is a total body workout.
• Dancing can be a way to stay fit people of all ages, shapes, and sizes. It has a wide
range of physical and mental benefits.

Dance is a viable and enjoyable activity, a potential career for other people especially to
people with disabilities who face several barriers to participation and training. The main
barriers include attitudinal, aesthetic, training related and logistical in nature, with further
barriers related to physical access and a lack of knowledge or available information about
opportunities.

 Philippine Folk Dance
(Week 5)

Background information for learners

Folk dances are the indigenous dances of any specific ``Folk`` or the common people. They
are traditional customary or recreational dance forms of a given country which have evolved
naturally and were handed down across generation.

Folk dances are related to every performance in our daily lives, such as customs, rituals, and
occupation of a specific group of people. Most of these dances are related in origin to
religious belief, stemming from emotions superstitions, festivals, ceremonies of birth,
courtship, marriage, death, war, and countless themes common to all people around the
world.

Ethnic dances or Ethnological dances

Are those performed in primitive tribes and have retained their close kinship with religious
ritual and community custom.

Different Types of Ethnic Dances

• Ritual Dances are dances that depict ritual ceremonies. Examples are Dugso
(Bukidnon) and Pagdidiwata (Palawan)
• Life Cycle dances are dances relating to the cycle of human life such as birthing,
courtship, wedding, and Funeral. Examples are Binasuan (Pangasinan) and
Dalingdaling (Muslim courtship dance from Sulu)
• Occupational dances are dances that exhibit work and occupation of the dancer.
Examples are Mag-Asik (Cotabato) and Mananagat (Cebu) dances.

According to Francisca Reyes Aquino (MOTHER OF FOLK DANCE IN THE

PHILIPPINES) folk dances maybe classified according to geographical extent of origin,
nature, speed of movement, formation, and distinguishing feature. Lately, folkloric specialists
merge regional and functional classifications to sort out the different dance materials
(Lopez,2006)

The three major regional classification of Philippine folk dances are tribal dances from the
Cordilleras, lowland Christians, and Muslim dances.

1. Tribal dances from the Cordilleras include non-Christians dances from the Cordilleras.

2. Lowland Christian dances are dances coming from places with Western influences as
that of the Tagalogs, Ilocanos, Pampaguenos, Pangasinense, Bisayans, and Bicolonas.
These dances are influenced by Hispanic and European cultures.
3. Muslim dances are dances from the people of the Southern Islands of the Philippines
such as in Mindanao and Sulu. These dances are influenced by Arabic and IndoMalayan
cultures.

Philippine folk dances, regardless of their classification, may be recognized as:

7 Note: Practice personal hygiene always.

1. Life cycle dances are dances that serve as rituals as one passes to a different stage in life
such as from birth to childhood to adulthood; from singlehood from marriage; and from
life to death.
2. Festival dances are dances that are either religious or secular and related to the celebration
of recurring events of special significance.
3. Occupational dances are dances that depict the means of the livelihood of the Filipino
people. Wherein dancers portray different steps in rice growing to winnowing (Aquino,
1979)
4. Ritual and Ceremonial dances are dances performed as part of the rituals and ceremonies
of a certain tribe or group of people.
5. Game dances are derivations of local folk games.
6. Joke and trickster dancer include jokes or tricks played by a dancer on another or a
group of dancers who is one of them. The intention is to render that individual ‘to a
physical or mental indignity or discomfort’ (Lopez, 2006).
7. Mimetic or Drama dances are dances that mimic animals, inanimate objects, or other
people. The Itik-Itik dance from Surigao is an example of a mimetic dance as it imitates
the movements of a duck.
8. War dances are dances that express feud enmity featuring two male dancers engage in
physical combat with spartan-like intensity.
9. Social amenities dances are dances that express social graces, hospitality, and offerings to
a friend.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

FREQUENCY, INTENSITY , TYPE AND TIME GOALS BASED ON

TRAINING PRINCIPLES (Week 6-7)

Background Information for Learners

Improving fitness is an important goal for achieving optimum health. If carefully planned,
performed, monitored, and evaluated, positive health–related outcomes will be achieved
and the risks to acquiring health problems will be reduced. One of the best physical activity
is dancing. Most forms of dance may be considered as aerobic exercise.

13 Note: Practice personal hygiene always.

The FITT Principle of Physical Activity (Dance) Frequency

The frequency of dance exercise refers to the number of times a dance activity is done.
According to the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines, it is recommended to
exercise 3-5 days per week and for more optimal results, exercise such as dance can be
done in most days of the week with a combination of lightmoderate-vigorous activity.

Intensity
The rate at which the activity is performed is called Intensity. It is also referred to as the
magnitude of the effort required to perform an activity or dance steps/ routines. It describes
how easy or how hard a person has to work in a certain steps, and it varies from one person
to another. The determination of intensity depends on some individual factors such as
exercise, relative level of fitness, and needs of fitness.

The intensity level target may be determined by computing the target heart rate (THR)
range based on the results of an exercise stress test, considering the resting and exercise
heart rate, with 60% to 80% intensity level. (Karvonen's Formula)

Type
The type of dance activity is determined by following the principle of progression and
specificity. To attain a higher level of fitness, select the type of physical activity that
challenges the body to accept an increase in work and caters the body’s need.

Time
Time is the duration or the length of session of a physical activity. It is inversely related to
Intensity since the more intense a work is done, the shorter time it is performed.

Learning competency with code:

PEH12FH-Ii-j-7 Sets Frequency Intensity Time Type (FITT) goals based on training
principles to achieve and/or maintain health-related fitness (HRF)

ACTIVITY 1: MY TARGET HEART RATE

Directions: Compute your Target Heart Rate Range in 4 steps. Write your answers in a
separate sheet.
1. Get the Maximum Heart Rate. Age: RHR:
MHR=220-
(your age)
MHR =_________

2. Determine the Heart Rate Reserve.

14 Note: Practice personal hygiene always.

 HRR= MHR - RHR

(In getting your resting heart rate, place your index and middle finger on
your wrist just below the thumb so you can feel your pulse. Use a watch to
count the number of beats for 30 seconds and double it to get your beats per
minute)
HRR=

3. Take 60% and 80% of the HRR

a. 60% x HRR =

b. 80% x HRR =
4. Add each HRR to Resting Heart Rate (RHR) to obtain the Target Heart Rate (THR) range.

a. 60%HRR + = beats per minute

(RHR)

b. 80% HRR + = beats per minute
