Chief among the influences as

reflected in the style and pattern of the

DANCES
Religion
Claudia Chapline writes a religious dance which purposed to
protect the church from outer world.

The Ancient Hebrews danced their prayer and praise and were
instructed in the Old testament to "Praise Him with Timbrel and
Dance" (Psalm 150). The earliest Christian ritual, "The Hymn of
Jesus", as described in the apocryphal Acts of John, written about
A.D. 120, was sacred dance in which the Apostles, joining hands,
circled slowly around Christ singing a hymn. This mystic circle
was used as a symbol for the Protection of the Church from the
outer world.(Chapline, 1957).

Occupation

Occupational dance is a form of art that expresses the hardworking

value of Filipinos from different places in the country by showing
their local costume and livelihood. The theme of the folk dance
would differ depending on where they live- near the sea, in the fields,
by the mountain.

Traditional mimetic occupational dances were taught and depict the

processes involved in the trade. Passed from generation to
generation, they were one means of preserving folk customs.

climate
The climate of a country affects the quality of the
dance movement. The dance movements in the
countries with colder climates tend to be very vigorous:
in the hot humid climates the movements tend to flow
and appear effortless. The tempo of a dance, however,
is not necessarily influenced by the climate since
climate vary: more often, it is the purpose of the dance
which determines the tempo.

 geography
Geography plays an interesting and significant
influence on dance. People who live in the mountains,
by necessarily, dance in a very small space. The style of
movement is influenced by an actual ground upon
which they danced. Mountains, as a physical features,
have served to preserve folk dances in their original
form.
 Takik
Takik is a love, or courtship,
dance that also originated.
from the Mountain Province.
The takik is varies by region
and can be faster or slower,
with different movements
depending on where you are
from.
 Costume
Costume is determined by two basic factors,
climate and geography. A costume is
utilitarian in purpose; essentially it serves to
protect the body from the elements and to suit
the life and work of the owner. Furthermore, as
individuals and groups become more
sophisticated, costumes serve to indicate
status, prestige, and wealth.
 carinosa

The cariñosa (Spanish

pronunciation: [kaɾiˈɲosa], meaning
loving or affectionate) is a Philippine
dance of colonial-era origin from
the Maria Clara suite of Philippine
folk dances, where the fan or
handkerchief plays an instrumental
role as it places the couple in a
romance scenario.
 MUSIC
Music, the twin sister of dance, is intimately related to
movement in dance. The differences in the dance are
largely due to the characteristics features of the
music of a particular group of people, It is
predominantly music which reveals often subtle
differences in the performance of an otherwise
commonly shared step pattern, the unique
characteristics inherent group's cultural background.

 Tinikling
It is traditionally danced to Rondalla
music, a sort of serenade played by
an ensemble of stringed
instruments which originated in
Spain during the Middle Ages. The
locomotor movements used in
tinikling are hopping, jumping, and
turning.
