3RD YEAR - BPED CHARMAINE JOY O. RAMOS

WARM-UP
INTRODUCTION
 OBJECTIVE:

EXPLORE THE INTERSECTION OF

MOTOR CONTROL AND LEARNING IN
THE CONTEXT OF DANCE.
MOTOR CONTROL
 MOTOR CONTROL:

THIS REFERS TO THE

COORDINATION AND
REGULATION OF MOVEMENTS BY
THE NERVOUS SYSTEM AND
MUSCLES.
 MOTOR CONTROL:
IN THE CONTEXT OF DANCE, IT
INVOLVES THE BRAIN'S ABILITY TO
PLAN, INITIATE, AND CONTROL THE
BODY'S MOTIONS TO ACHIEVE
SPECIFIC AND WELL-DEFINED
MOVEMENTS.
 MOTOR CONTROL:

DANCERS NEED TO EXECUTE MOVEMENTS

WITH ACCURACY AND FINESSE, WHETHER IT'S A
DELICATE GESTURE OR A DYNAMIC LEAP.
MOTOR CONTROL ENABLES THEM TO
TRANSLATE CREATIVE IDEAS INTO PHYSICAL
EXPRESSIONS SEAMLESSLY.
MOTOR LEARNING
 MOTOR LEARNING:

THIS IS THE PROCESS BY WHICH AN

INDIVIDUAL ACQUIRES AND REFINES
MOTOR SKILLS THROUGH PRACTICE
AND REPETITION.
 MOTOR LEARNING:

MOTOR LEARNING INVOLVES

COGNITIVE PROCESSES THAT
ENHANCE MUSCLE MEMORY AND
SKILL ACQUISITION
 MOTOR LEARNING:
COGNITIVE PROCESSES: REFERS TO MENTAL
ACTIVITIES SUCH AS PERCEPTION, ATTENTION,
MEMORY, AND PROBLEM-SOLVING. IN MOTOR
LEARNING, COGNITIVE PROCESSES INVOLVE THE
BRAIN'S ENGAGEMENT IN UNDERSTANDING,
MEMORIZING, AND REFINING THE MOVEMENTS
BEING PRACTICED.
 MOTOR LEARNING:
ENHANCING MUSCLE MEMORY: THROUGH
REPETITION, THE BRAIN ESTABLISHES NEURAL
PATHWAYS THAT STRENGTHEN THE
CONNECTION BETWEEN THE BRAIN AND
MUSCLES. THIS IS KNOWN AS MUSCLE MEMORY.
IT ALLOWS DANCERS TO PERFORM MOVEMENTS
MORE AUTOMATICALLY AND ACCURATELY OVER
TIME.
 MOTOR LEARNING:
SKILL ACQUISITION: IN DANCE, ACQUIRING
SKILLS GOES BEYOND PHYSICAL MOVEMENTS. IT
INCLUDES UNDERSTANDING THE NUANCES OF
TIMING, RHYTHM, EXPRESSION, AND
COORDINATION. COGNITIVE PROCESSES
CONTRIBUTE TO THE INTELLECTUAL
UNDERSTANDING AND MASTERY OF THESE
ELEMENTS.
