 In the Cordillera and Sierra Madre mountain ranges live the “BIBAKIIG” group of people-
Bontoc, Ifugao, Benguet, Apayao, Kalinga, Itneg, Ilongot and Gaddang. These groups have
dances portraying the images of the wind, rain, movements of animals, rituals for fertility, birth
death, hunting, harvesting, and mourning over death, victory in battle and celebration of bountiful
harvest. Gesturing among these dances are common while telling a story and re-enacting the
events of life.
Many of the recorded titles of Philippine folk dances reveal Spanish or European language
such as Jota, Fandanggo, Mazurka, Havanera, Lanceros and Polka. The Spaniards ruled the
Philippines for more than three centuries that created an attractive mixture of Filipino and
European flavour. Thus, local dances were developed by the talented Filipinos and indigenized
the foreign steps of contra-ganza, engano, brincos, paso doble, minuet, lanceros, mazurka,
redova, chotis, valse,polka, schottische, escotis and many others into simplier and lively steps
common to Filipinos.

Classical ballet is a formalized form of dance with its origins in the Italian Renaissance
courts of the 15th and 16th centuries. Ballet spread from Italy to France with the help of Catherine
de’Medici, where ballet developed even further under her aristocratic influence.

Ballet technique is the foundational principles of body movement and form used in ballet.
It is an important aspect of ballet performance because ballet (especially classical ballet) puts
together great emphasis on the method and execution of movement. The techniques found in the
classical ballet are a framework for many other styles of dance, including jazz and contemporary
ballet.

Contemporary dance is a style of expressive dance that combines elements of several

dance genres including modern, jazz, lyrical and classical ballet. Contemporary dancers strive to
connect the mind and the body through fluid dance movements.
Contemporary dance stresses versatility and improvisation, unlike the strict, structured nature of
ballet. Contemporary dancer focus on floor work, using gravity to pull them down to the floor.
Contemporary dance techniques combine the discipline, control and poise of more traditional
dance forms with free movement and spatial expansion of modern, experimental dance modes.
This dance genre is often done in bare feet. Contemporary dance can be performed to many
different styles of music.

The origins of this popular dance movement can be traced to several influential dance
masters such as Isadora Duncan, Martha Graham and Merce Cunningham.

Ballroom is a social dancing performed by couples in a close facing position with partners
held as if in a close embrace. The couples move to the music using step-patterns and rhythms
that match the character of a given song.

Competitive ballroom dancing is now known as Dance sport (from “dance” and “sport”).
In view of this, it is now seen more as a sport than an art. The governing Amateur Body for
Ballroom Dancing changed its name to the International Dance sport Federation in the early
1990’s and now has 65 member countries affiliated to it with others awaiting affiliation.

There are two types of ballroom dance:

1. Smooth/Ballroom style– are flowing dances that move around the entire dance floor in a
counter-clockwise fashion. The couple is constantly moving on the dance floor, smooth
transitioning from pattern to pattern. Examples are Foxtrot, Tango, Vienesse Waltz and
Quickstep.
2. Latin/Rhythm style– these dances pretty much stay in one spot on the dance floor. They
are energetic dances that reflect the syncopated rhythm of the music being danced to. Examples
are Swing, Rumba/Bolero, Cha Cha, Salsa/Mambo, Merengue, Disco/Hustle, Samba and Paso
Doble.
 Hip-Hop dance refers to street dance styles primarily performed to hip-hop music or that
has evolved as part of hip-hop culture. It includes a wide range of styles primarily breaking which
was created in the 1970’s and made popular by dance crews in the United States.

In the 1960’s in new York City, the up rock and breaking dance styles started to develop
alongside hip hop music. At the same time, dancers in California, inspired by Hollywood robots,
were working on dance moves to imitate them through locking and popping. In the 1970’s,
professional street-based dance crews emerged and popularized these various subcategories of
hip-hop. As hip-hop gained ground in the American culture imagination, dancers blended the two
different coast styles into one big genre of hip-hop.

Dance is an expression of the body, following a rhythmic patterns, and is accompanied by

music. From primitive man expressing emotions in such events as birth, death, marriage, war,
among other things, dance has evolved to modern forms of social dancing. Is a movement set to
where there emerge organization, structure, and pattern. It is a composition, which implies
arrangement of parts into a form.
Perhaps the oldest of the arts, reflecting man’s age-old need to communicate joy or grief
by using the most immediate instrument at his disposal- his body. Dance steps are created from
man’s basic movements. Combinations of steps have become traditional dance steps, ethnic,
social or ballroom, ballet and modern expressive dances.
People dance because of the following reasons:
A. for self-expression
B. for religious, ritualistic purposes
C. for entertainment
