LOOKING BACK TO YOUR LESSON

The FITT Principle (or formula) is a great way of monitoring your exercise
program. The acronym FITT outlines the key components, or training guidelines, for
an effective exercise program, and the initials F, I, T, T, stand for: Frequency,
Intensity, Time and Type.

● Frequency: refers to the frequency of exercise undertaken or how often

you exercise.

● Intensity: refers to the intensity of exercise undertaken or how hard you

exercise.

● Time: refers to the time you spend exercising or how long you exercise for.

● Type: refers to the type of exercise undertaken or what kind of exercise

you do.

BRIEF INTRODUCTION

With each passing year, customs and beliefs of groups of people get built
little by little, slowly with time forming into traditions. Folk dances represent one of
the strongest ways these (sometimes truly ancient) traditions of countries and
regions can be showcased to the public. Even though many traditional dances bear
the name of an ethnic dance, not all of them remained folk dances, but all of them
try to emphasize the cultural roots of the particular dance. Some of them morphed
over time into religious dances, and as such, they are not primarily used to
showcase tradition but to enhance religious ceremonies and beliefs. Such dances
are often called religious or ritual dances.
Dance or dancing is said to be a stress reliever, it is also a form of exercise
that will help boost the immune system through cardio exercises in a form of
zumba, hiphop aero and dance aerobics. Many of this dance comes in different
forms and nature and one of these is the Ethnic or Folk dance. In this module, you
4
will learn one dance offered in K-12 Curriculum in HOPE 3, which is the Folk
Dance.

A. Ethnic / Folk Dance Defined

A folk dance is a dance developed by people that reflect the life of the people
of a certain country or region. Not all ethnic dances are folk dances. For example,
ritual dances or dances of ritual origin are not considered to be folk dances. Ritual
dances are usually called "Religious dances" because of their purpose. The terms
"ethnic" and "traditional" are used when it is required to emphasize the cultural
roots of the dance. In this sense, nearly all folk dances are ethnic ones

B. Philippine Folk Dance

The history of Philippine folk dancing incorporates influences from
immigrants and conquerors while at the same time maintaining distinctly Filipino
roots. Philippine folk dancing is a true reflection of daily life in past centuries while
enchanting modern audiences at the same time.

Background / Context:

Like many small islands, Bantigue of Masbate rely on the sea to supply fish
to great parts of the Bicol region.

Each dawn, Bantigue village awaits the arrival of boats with their catch.
Gathered on the beach with the people are thousands of lapay or seagulls, flying
overhead or moving around the sand and seashore. To while away their time,
people turn their attention to the lapay, shooing them or imitating their flight,
swoops, dives and glides. This playful frolicking started the first steps of an
unrehearsed dance. Music was brought in later to lend order and form. It did not
take long before couples competed in show-offs lapay antics, the very core of what
lapay is today.
