Preface

This Interactive Learning Module for PEH 121: Physical Education and Health III – Dance
is aligned to the competencies of the K–12 Basic Education Curriculum set by the Department of
Education. This module is designed interactively to cater to the needs and demands of the 21 st
Century education.

This course, as stipulated in the curriculum guide, offers experiential learning for learners
to adopt an active life for fitness and lifelong health. The knowledge, skills and understanding,
which include physical and health literacy competencies, support them in accessing, synthesizing
and evaluating information; making informed decisions; enhancing and advocating their own as
well as others’ fitness and health.

This course is divided into three (3) units. Learners, in the first unit, will discuss define
dance and discuss different forms of dances; in the second unit, learners will design their own
dance program plan and execute the basic hand and foot movements; in the third unit, learners will
practice; finally, in the third unit, learners will lead a dance event that addresses health
issues/concerns.

This course on dance includes rhythmical movement patterns of different dance forms. It
consists of an array of offerings which learners can choose from.

To facilitate academic performance, Written Works (WW) are given to make sure learners
can express skills and content in written form. Performance Tasks (PT) let learners translate
knowledge and skills in diverse and real-life learning situations; finally, Quarterly Assessments
(QA) will measure learning at the end of every quarter.

This Right Learning Kit is collaboratively prepared by your Patricia Mae S. Moreno,
LPT and Leonar T. Aballe from the Ateneo de Zamboanga University – Senior High School for
the school year 2022-2023.

Concept Notes

DANCE
Dance has been a part of Filipino life since time immemorial. Since ancient times, early
Filipinos have used rhythmic movements to express their emotions, beliefs, and faith. Most of
these movements are imitations of what they see in their environment such as the swaying of trees
and the motions of animals. In the long run, these rhythmic movements develop into dances that
have become part of peoples’ traditions.
Many of the dances in the past were performed as rituals to express gratitude or to make sacrifices
to gods and goddesses. Some dances were performed to celebrate life occasions and war victories.
Today, these dances are performed to practice the traditions of early Filipinos.

FOLK DANCE

What is folk dance?

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
evolved5 naturally and were handed down across
generations.

What are the differences between folk, national, and ethnic dances?

Folk dances are traditional dances found in a certain country while nation dances
(Philippine folk dance) are also traditional folk dances but have a national scope. They are popular
and widely danced throughout a given country, often with a number of regional variations.
The Philippines dances Cariñosa, Curacha, and Pandango are examples, with several variations
coming from both Luzon and Visayan islands. Even within one locality, dancers have different
ways of performing it.

Did you know?

The first National Artist for Dance and the mother of Philippine Folk Dance is Francisca Reyes.

3
ETHNIC DANCE

What is Ethnic
dance?
Ethnic dance or ethological dances are those performed in primitive tribes and have
retained their close kinship with religious ritual and community custom. These dances may
“require a certain level of special performing skills” that are symbolic in meaning, making it
hard for those outside the group to understand. They can be performing in three different
categories, namely, ritual, life-cycle, and occupational.
In the Philippines, dances originated from the Ifugao people of northern Luzon, T’boli tribe from
Southern Mindanao, and Tagbanua tribe from Palawan are examples of ethnic dances. Below are
few examples of the different types of ethic dances:

Ethnic dances Ritual dance

Life-cycle dance
Occupational Dance
Ritual dance Dugso

Occupation Dance Maglalatik (Biñan Life-cycle dance Pangalay

All national and ethnic dances are folk dances, but not all folk dance is considered national or
ethnic dances.

4
What is Festival Dance?

FESTIVAL DANCE
A festival is an event usually marked as a local or national holiday celebrated by a
community and centering on some characteristic aspect of that community and its religion or
tradition. Festivals are usually associated with harvest, thanksgiving, appreciation and religious
commemoration.
In the Philippines, the Spanish word “fiesta” is used to denote a communal religious feast
to honor a patron or saint. Fiestas are important to many Filipinos because of the miraculous power
of their patron saints. It is one way of expressing gratitude to the saints for being responsible for
all good fortune and favor received. It is popular as the traditional dances which are celebrated as
cultural awareness that will be passed down to the next generation.

Fiestas reflect Filipino religion and faith,

which are the most essential part of the society.

Why dance is good for fitness?

5
 Dancing is one of the best fitness workouts. Dancing offers upbeat and inventive exercise
that promotes a healthier and more active lifestyle. Sociable, energizing and life-affirming, dance
has a whole host of body benefits, from aiding joint flexibility through to boosting mental
wellbeing.
Here are the reasons why dance is such a great fitness activity:
● Building muscular endurance
o Regular dance improves the endurance of body muscles, allowing them to work
harder for longer periods of time without feeling tired. Dancing also raises the
body’s heart rate to heighten stamina.
● Dancing improves the body’s flexibility
o A healthy body needs joints and muscles to be flexible; something that dance can
really help with. Most dance styles involve a great range of motion and movement,
allowing major muscle groups to be flexed and properly worked out. As a result,
the dancer’s body should soon become nimbler.
● Developing upper and lower body strength
o Dancing may not initially appear the best way to build your bodily strength into
that of a champion weightlifter. However, dance still offers a fine way of boosting
upper and lower body strength. Many dance styles require lifting, leaping and
prancing all of which require a muscular drive that builds up over time.
● Dance away the calories
o Whether your salsa dancing, gliding across a ballroom floor or tapping your toes to
some two-step rock, dance exercise offers an easy and enjoyable way to burn off
unwanted calories. A half hour of dancing can burn between 200 and 400 calories
so why not run away from that miserable treadmill training and dance along to the
fitness beat?
● Get stronger bones
o Dancing can help with the prevention of bone problems such as osteoporosis, with
dancing exercise allowing more calcium to be absorbed into the body’s bones.

THE F.I.T.T. PRINCIPLES

During your previous subjects in Physical Education and Health, you already know the F.I.T.T
Principles that you can apply in the exercise program, now you can also apply this principle in the
context of dance.
Understanding the F.I.T.T. principle helps you design a workout plan that
will be more effective in leading your fitness goals. F.I.T.T. stands
for frequency, intensity, time, and type of exercise. These are the four
elements you need to consider to create workouts that fit your goals and
fitness level.
Frequency
The first thing to set up with your workout plan is frequency how often you
will exercise. Your frequency often depends on a variety of factors
including the type of workout you're doing, how hard you're working, your
fitness level, and your exercise goals. In the concept of dance, the
frequency will focus on how often you practice the significant skill or step
to master it or to meet your goal.

Intensity
Intensity has to do with how hard you work during exercise. How you can change
the intensity depends on the type of workout you're doing. For dance, the intensity
will depend on what kind of dance you're going to train or practice. Not all dances
require high intensity. Like some in folk dance and contemporary dance, they did
not require a full power of energy to perform instead of a moderate level only.

16
Time
The next element of your workout plan is how long you exercise through each session. There isn't
one set rule for how long you should exercise, and it will typically depend on your
fitness level and the type of workout you're doing. Same in the context of dance it
will depend on the type of dance or time you set for practice.

Type
The type of exercise you do is the last part of the F.I.T.T. principle and an easy one
to manipulate to avoid overuse injuries or weight loss plateaus. In dance, this
principle will focus on what specific dance you choose: it can be dance, Ethnic,
Contemporary, Ballet, Jazz, or Modern.

Concept Notes

A festival is an event usually marked as a local or national holiday celebrated by a

community and centering on some characteristic aspect of that community and its religion or
tradition. Festivals are usually associated with harvest, thanksgiving, appreciation and religious
commemoration.
In the Philippines, the Spanish word “fiesta” is used to denote a communal religious feast
to honor a patron or saint. Fiestas are important to many Filipinos because of the miraculous power
of their patron saints. It is one way of expressing gratitude to the saints for being responsible on
all good fortune and favor received. It is popular as the traditional dances which are celebrated as
cultural awareness that will be passed down to the next generation.

27
 What is Kadayawan Festival?

The festival was started by the government movement called

“Unlad Proyekto Davao” in the year 1986 which has the
purpose of bringing unity to Davaoñes after the martial law
years. Its purpose is to showcase the city as a peaceful and
colourful destination to visit and start business in. In addition,
Davao was the home of the Philippine eagle, waling-waling
(queen of orchids), durian (king of fruits) and the country’s high
peak; Mt. Apo. The festival was later renamed as “Kadayawan
sa Dabaw” by Mayor Rodrigo Duterte.
https://support.google.com/l
e
Kadayawan was considered as the festival of all festivals as it appreciates the artistic city
gal/answer/3463239?hl=en
of Davao, cultural and historical heritage, and the “lumads”. It is also celebrated on the streets by
some parade in full regalia as thanksgiving for the blessings granted on the city.
The festival is celebrated every 3rd week of August as a thanksgiving to the Bathala (supreme god
of ethic tribes around Mt. Apo) for bountiful harvest such as fruits and orchids during the season.
The word Kadayawan is derived from the word “madayaw” which means a friendly greeting used
to explain a thing that is “beautiful, valuable, and superior.” The festival is usually expressed by
singing, dancing, and offerings to their protectors.
Some highlights of the festival include the floats of fresh flowers and fruits, indak-indak sa
kadalanan or the street dancing in colourful costumes. Various tribes also exhibit their tribal
costumes and jewelry during the parade. The last day of the festivity includes dancing to the local
beat with decorated floats. Most common types of dances in this festival are lively, fast and upbeat.

28
 What is Masskara Festival?

Originally, the masks reflect the people’s grief over the loss of their loved ones when, 1979,
passenger carrying vessel MS. Don Juan crashed with a tanker. It led to the big drop of sugar
production. The people of Negros struggled from the excess sugar in the world market caused by
Carribean crisis and high fructose corn syrup introduced by the United States. These events
proceeded to the observance of the first Masskara Festival in 1980. The masks used in the festival
intends to give awareness regarding the crisis happening in Negros and later changed into street
dancing and merry-making festival. The imagery of the masks was purposely used to hide the
suffering and lifting the spirits of the Negrenses despite of tragedy. Masskara became one of the
famous entertainment in Negros, catching numbers of people from local and international countries
to watch the festivity. The festival is annually celebrated in the month of October.
Street dancing is common during Masskara
festival wherein dancers wear luminous and
shining costumes and a smiling mask which
symbolizes Bacolod as the “City of Smiles”.
Street dancing contest is the highlight of the
whole festival. It was intended to give
encouragement and hope despite crisis
encounters such as the sugar problem. The dances are very grooving, hyped, and lively which
carries the watchers to smile throughout the celebration.

Why we celebrate Festivals?

Festivals are great ways of infusing refreshed air in our lives. It brings the community to
be as one in celebrating joyful events. It also helped people to recall the stories behind the
society of today through understanding its history.
