Lesson 1
Dances from the Past
What is Dance?
Dance comes from the German word damson, which means “to stretch or “to drag”.
It developed as a natural expression of united feeling and action. Dance is
considered the mirror of the society because it responds to historical and religious
events as well as social and political statements.
Although there have been immense comparative differences in period and culture,
people still dance mainly for four reasons: (a) to please gods; (b) to please others; (c)
to please themselves; and (d) to build community within an ethnic group or social
interaction.

the Ancient Civilization Ancient Egypt.
3,300 BCE (First Dancing). It is believed that the first people to dance
were the Egyptians. Archaeologists discovered paintings of dancing
figures in rock shelters and caves.
As a way of expressing religious service and teaching ancient myth,
three (3) major dancers were evolved:
(1) the king;
(2) the priests who performed magical dances;
(3) virgin dancers who were trained to perform during ceremonies
led by the priests.
Ancient Crete.
The Cretan civilization (3000-1400 BC) was a cultural link in the
ancient world between Egyptians and Greeks.
Cretans used dance to perfect their military training which made
excellent.
Ancient Greece.

Dance was not just for religious and military training but also a form
of entertainment and display.
Plato immensely gave importance to dance in education as stated in
the education on the Laws. He highlighted the two kinds of dance and
music: the noble (fin and honorable) and the ignoble (imitating what is
mean or ugly).
Ancient Rome.
Gave less importance to dancing which eventually became an integral
part of the corruption in the latter days of the Roman Empire
resulting in the condemnation of dance by early Christians.
Dance was primarily performed for religious, social and
entertainment. However, theatrical entertainment was prohibited but
still existed and was performed within church during religious
ceremonies.

Before engaging any physical activities, you need to self- assess your health related
fitness status and determine barriers to physical activity participation. Health-
related fitness involves exercise activities that you do in order to try to improve
your physical health and stay healthy.
Cardiovascular endurance is the ability of the heart and lungs to work together to
provide the needed oxygen and fuel to the body during sustained workloads. The 3-
minute Step Test is used to test cardiovascular endurance.
Muscular strength is the amount of force a muscle can produce. The PushUp Test
is most often used to test muscular strength.
Flexibility is the ability of each joint to move through the available range of motion
for a specific joint. The Zipper Test and Sit and Reach Test is frequently used to
test body flexibility.
Body composition is the amount of fat mass compared to lean muscle mass, bones
and organs. The BMI is defined as the body mass divided by the square of the body
height, and is universally expressed in units of kg/m², resulting from mass in
kilograms and height in meters.
When engaging in any form of dance, always consider the FITT (Frequency,
Intensity, Time, Type) principle of training to be able to perform efficiently and
minimize unnecessary body stress and injury.
Frequency (How Often)- number of training sessions that are performed during a
given period (usually one week). About 3 to 4 times per week or more are the
recommended times of exercise for an individual. Rest or easy days are in between
to allow your body to recover from physical exertion.
Example:
Goal Sun Mon Tues Wed Thurs Fri Sat
Cardio-
vascular
(3- Workout Workout Workout Workout Workout
Munite Session Session Session Session Session
Step Test) Rest 1 2 Rest 3 4 5
Intensity (How Hard)- an individual’s level of effort (light, moderate, vigorous).
Example:
Sample Activities Light Moderate Vigorous
Cardiovascular
Endurance Slow walking Fast walking Jogging
This Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale below is used to measure the intensity
of your exercise/ physical activity. This value gives a reference point for an
11
individual’s internal load which can be compared with others during a similar
session.
RPE CHART (Rate of Perceived Exertion)
Time (How Long)- duration of a workout (including warm-up and cool-down) or the
length of time spent in training. To improve health-related fitness, trainers
recommend 20 to 30 minutes of nonstop exercise. Time should be decreasing as
the intensity of the activity is increasing.
