Module1 DANCE AND THE


BODY
Introduction

Dance involves a successive group of bodily motions and steps rhythmically


performed and timed to music. It is said to be the oldest of the arts. Throughout the
ages, the dancing body has inspired the musician, the sculptor, and the painter. The
drama of most countries started in their dances. The beginnings of music have been
traced to the dance. For these reasons it has been called mother of the arts.
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic may be stressful for
people. One of the best ways to relieve stress is to dance. One of the most basic
motives of dance is the expression and communication of emotion. People often
dance to release powerful feelings, such ads sudden accesses of high spirit, joy,
impatience, or anger. These motives forces can be seen not only in the spontaneous
movements often performed in moments of intense emotion, but also in the more
familiarized movements.
In this module, you will learn the definition of the dance, its importance and
the benefit of dance in your life.

Learning Outcome
At the end of this module, you should be able to:

 Identify the different benefits of dance.


 Appreciate better the importance of dance in the human body.
 Perform some fitness dance.

Learning Content

Definition of the Dance


.Dance
- is a performing art form consisting of purposefully selected
sequences of human movement. This movement has aesthetic and
symbolic value, and is acknowledged as dance by performers and
observers within a particular culture.
- is a form of expression that utilizes bodily movements that are
usually rhythmic, patterned (although they may be improvised), and
accompanied by music.
Physical Activity Toward Health and Fitness 3 2

- creates a completely self-contained world for dancers in which they


are capable of physical effort, prowess, and endurance far beyond
their normal powers.

Importance of Dance
Dancing provides many great benefits and, while it's not possible to list them all,
some of the greater benefits are listed below:
1. Dancing allows one to express oneself.
2. A sense of community is found within the dance.
3. Dancing provides physical/mental refreshment and relaxation.
4. Laughter and fun—dancing can provide a lot of entertainment.
5. Dancing is a form of exercise.
6. Dancers find inspiration and motivation as they become lost in the dance.
7. Dancing allows professional dancers to form affiliations.

 Self-Expression- Dancing allows people to express how they feel at a given


moment. On another note, dance is an expression of art, in that it appeals to
the emotions.

 Sense of Community- People come together through dance. It provides


entertainment for people of all ages, races, and backgrounds.

 Source of Relaxation- Dancing helps bodies and minds relax as the music
and surroundings take people away from their anxiety and frustration for a
while.

 Entertainment – When people are laughing and trying to keep up with the
moves involved in line-dancing, they are being entertained.

 Exercise and Conditioning - Dancing is a great form of aerobic exercise


since it works many muscles in the body. Muscles become stretched,
conditioned, and toned while the heart rate increases, pumping blood at a
faster rate.

 Building Affiliations - Professional dancers form affiliations. Some of these


people will be seen on stage as background dancers while a singer or group
is performing. Sometimes singers themselves dance as part of their
performances.

Dance Is Good For Fitness


Physical Activity Toward Health and Fitness 3 4

Getting fit does not have to be the chore it’s often perceived to be. Instead, as
people all around the globe are finding out each day, dancing is one of the best
fitness workouts there is. Dancing offers upbeat and inventive exercise, that
promotes a more healthy and 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 reasons why dance is such a great fitness activity.

1. Building Muscular Endurance


2. Dancing Improves The Body’s Flexibility
3. Developing Upper And Lower Body Strength
4. Dancing Yourself to A Happier Mind
5. Dance Away the Calories
6. Get Stronger Bones
7. It’s Good For Your Mental Health
8. Balancing The Body
9. Fact: Dancing Creates Better Blood

Getting FITT with Dance

Dancing is good for the heart. It gives a sense of balance and coordination. It
is a workout that engages the entire body. A 30-minuite dancing burns between 130
and 250 calories, about the same as jogging.
Dancing varies from ballroom to ballet, modern, and cultural. Choosing the
dance style and intensity level that meets your needs will help you fulfill your desired
goal, be it to learn or specialize in a skill or to enhance health and physical fitness.
When engaging in any form of dance, always consider the FITT principle of
athletic training to be able to perform efficiently and minimize unnecessary body
stress and injury.

1. Frequency (how often)


Some dancers believe that they need to practice every day to improve.
However experts believe it can be more beneficial to take 1 or 2 days off for the
muscles to recover. Doing the same movements and the same muscles at a high
intensity everyday may lead to strain and injuries. Balanced out work load and
recovery time to achieve good results.

2. Intensity (how hard)


When engaging in dance exercises, always include some workouts with long,
repetitive, moderate-intensity exercises alternating with some short, high-intensity
workouts. Again there should be a balance in terms of intensity.
Balance the intensity with your own training, for example cycling, jogging, or
dancing at a moderate intensity for a longer time.
Physical Activity Toward Health and Fitness 3 5

3. Time (how long)


One of the most important components in dancing is having a good stamina.
Dancing for a length of time and being able to finish the dance with enough energy to
point, bow, and walk off require a high-level of cardiovascular fitness. To improve
cardio fitness, trainers recommend 20 to30 minutes of nonstop exercise 4 to 6 days
a week.

4. Type (what kind)


When dancing, adjust to certain movements and routines to perform better.
Training must enhance muscular and cardiovascular strengthn/endurance.
Resistance or strength training like core workouts or stretching with a resistant band
will help build muscle strength. Other sustained cardio exercises (swimming, cycling,
running, jogging) can help dancers build muscle stamina.

6 Kinds of Dance Fitness

1. Ballroom Dancing
-Ballroom dancing may not look like an athletic activity, but it can surely make
you sweat and raise your heart rate.
2. Zumba
- It is a whole-body workout that incorporates Latin music and dance moves
(typically salsa) into a routine. In this fitness activity, you’ll alternate between fast and
slow movements.
3. Jazzercise
- This fitness program also includes Pilates, yoga, kickboxing, and resistance
training. Thus, the choreography may include body-weight exercises and the use of
free weights or resistance bands.
4. Barre
- It is a full-body workout that combines the principles of ballet, yoga, Pilates,
and strength training.
5. Pole Dancing
- This fitness program is a combination of Pilates, TRX, yoga, and strength
training. So, your endurance and flexibility will also be improved in this fun,
challenging, and liberating activity.

6. Buti Yoga
- This workout is a bit forceful and invigorating. Nonetheless, you will still get
the mind and body benefits of traditional yoga.

Nutrition in Dancing
Good nutrition is critical to a dancer’s success. Continual training, rehearsing,
and performing put serious strain on muscles, joints, and bones. Proper nutrition can
help in growing lean muscles, absorbing essential nutrients, repairing injuries, and
preventing fatigue. Doctors and nutritionist advocate eating well-balanced food that
supplies nourishment and stamina without adding too much calories.
Physical Activity Toward Health and Fitness 3 6

Carbohydrate
• It is the major source of energy.
• During digestion, carbohydrates break down into glucose stored in the as
glycogen, which fuels energy and keeps muscles working.
• During strenuous periods of rehearsals, and competition or performance,
dancers should increase carbohydrate intake to 65% of their diet.
• Good complex carbohydrates worth incorporating into meals include whole-
grain breads and pasta, grains, and starchy vegetables.
• Whole grains take longer to break down than white or refined carbohydrates,
providing dancers with more energy for longer periods of time.
• Eating carbohydrates before and after exercising, class, rehearsals, and
performances is also necessary to replenish glycogen.
Protein
• It helps repair muscle fibers that are stressed by constant use.
• It synthesizes enzymes required for proper metabolism.
Fat
• Fat from the diet provides structure for all cell membranes, comprises the
insulating layer around nerves, and forms the base of many hormones. Fat
is needed for the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and is an important fuel
muscles.
• Fatty acids are used as an energy source in the muscles for endurance
activities such as long rehearsal where the body continuously exercises for
over 20 minutes at a time.
Micronutrients
Vitamins and minerals comprise the micronutrients in the diet.
• The B vitamins play an important role in energy production.
• Vitamin A, C, and E function as antioxidants that are necessary for the
repair and recovery of overstressed muscles caused by strenuous classes
and rehearsals.
• Vitamin D is important in bone formation.
• Calcium is also important in bone formation. It is essential to ingest
adequate calcium during the bone growth years.
• Iron carries oxygen in the blood and is used to produce energy in the
muscles.
Physical Activity Toward Health and Fitness 3 7

Hydration
Dancers sweat as they generate heat during training, rehearsal, and
performance. This is how the body cools itself. This loss of fluid, however, can
lead to dehydration, resulting in dizziness, lack of energy, inability to
concentrate, sore muscles, and lackluster performance. Hence, adequate fluid
intake is a must for all dancers.

Module 2
ACTIVITIES
Introduction

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic may be stressful for


people. One of the best ways to relieve stress is to listen to music. Following the
beat of the music, rhythmic movements can be as simple as tapping your fingers,
Physical Activity Toward Health and Fitness 3 11

clapping or stamping your feet. Once you practice rhythmic body movements during
an aerobic exercise or dancing, you will enjoy its health benefits that improve the
quality of your life.
In this module, you will learn about rhythm, its element, and the different
natural movements. It also includes different activities for you to practice rhythmic
body movements that will make you move and relieve your stress.

Learning Outcome
At the end of the module, you will be able to:
 develop skills in rhythmic movements sufficient to provide for present
enjoyment.
 develop opportunities for the development of rhythmic accuracy and
coordination.
 perform a rhythmic dance using the natural movements.

Learning Content

Rhythm
Rhythm is a bodily responses made to any type of rhythmic accompaniment.
It includes a set series or specific pattern of sequential actions. All works of art
require rhythm. It is the most clearly seen through dance – the art of movement.
Rhythm is natural to every individual. The beating of your heart, the
movement of your lungs as oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is forced out of
your system, and other movements of the organs in your body has rhythm.
Our universe is also works in a system of rhythm. The movement of the earth
around the sun and the moon around the earth create the movement of day and
night and that of the tides. Nature itself is a manifestation of rhythm.
When you move in response to a particular rhythm or music we call the
movements as rhythmic movements or rhythms.

Elements of Rhythm
Your movements are affected by the different elements of rhythm. They are
the following:
1. Beat – the underlying pulse of a rhythm
2. Measure – a group of underlying beats
3. Pattern – refers to the grouping of sounds or beats related to the
underlying beat
Physical Activity Toward Health and Fitness 3 12

4. Tempo – the rate of speed of movement


5. Accent – the emphasis on a certain beat
6. Phrase – the measures that are grouped together
7. Intensity – the variation of stress of movement
8. Syncopation – the shifting of regular metrical accent

Natural Movements
The natural movements are classified into two: locomotor and non-locomotor
or axial movements.
When you move your body in any direction with your feet as the moving base
this is called locomotor movement. But if the various parts of your body move in
space without moving from any direction this is called non-locomotor.
This movements are the foundation when you participate in any games,
sports activities, dance, gymnastics, stunts, and aquatic activities.
Here are the examples of Locomotor Movements:
 WALKING – moving at moderate pace on feet, lifting one foot only after the
other foot has touched the floor or ground.
 RUNNING – moving on foot with springing steps at rapid pace such that for
an instant both feet are off-ground during each step.
 HOPPING – springing on one foot and landing on the same foot.
 LEAPING – springing on one foot and landing on the other foot
 GALLOPING – moving in continuous forward or sideward direction with one
foot leading.
 SKIPPING – same procedure as in hopping, but bouncing lightly with
alternative steps and hops.
 JUMPING – springing and taking off with one foot and landing on both feet.

And here are the examples of Non-locomotor movements:

 BENDING is contracting or shortening of a body part from a joint.

Half-kness bend
Full-kness bend
Trunk forward bend
Trunk sideward bend
Arms forward bend
Head forward bend

DANCE
INTRODUCTION

In this module, let us fight the present crisis of the pandemic


COVID19 with the groove of our body with music. Dance can be in
group, with a partner, or with this present “new normal” dancing

BALLROOM DANCING
Module 4
AND JAZZ
Introduction

Faster than the actual illness, across the world there is concern spreading due
to the recent pandemic of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). As general
guidance, the World Health Organization encourages communities to integrate
exercise in their daily lives and stay physically active in limited space: “Stay
physically active during self-quarantine”.
These times will pass, but while we are in the thick of it we need to keep our
focus on the positives. More than ever, we need to dance with purpose to remind the
world that humanity still exists.
Ballroom dance such as Jazz in particular is one source of joy and inspiration
during these dark and unsettling times and a way to be more active and physically fit
even during this pandemic situation. It is meant to be a medium of self-expression,
and as a student, learning new styles and techniques in Jazz can further your craft.
In this module, you can learn new styles and techniques to enhance and
explore your abilities in dancing Jazz movements.

Learning Outcome
Physical Activity Toward Health and Fitness 3 36

At the end of this module you will be able to:

o Discuss the meaning and history Jazz.


o Identify and execute Jazz isolations, Jazz routine and Jazz variation.
o Appreciate Jazz music.

Learning Content

Introduction to Jazz
JAZZ. It is an improvisational, Afro-American musical idiom that developed in
the United States during the 20th century. The word jazz is obscure and possibly non-
musical origin and man first applied to music in Chicago about 1915. It usually
employs a basic 2/4 or 4/4 time signature.
The story of jazz dances starts with the coming of African culture to America
though American slaves trade. The wholesale and compulsory seizure of the African
natives was meant to bolster America’s economic life.
For the Africans music and dance had always had an immense significance. If
they will be asked about these two, they will undoubtedly relate an account of his
social and religious activities for they believed that music and dance is the
expression of the African rhythm of life up to 1940 as still essentially of Negro origin
which includes the dances like Tap dance, Clog, Soft shoe, Breck and swing, Irish jig
and Lindy hop.
The term jazz dance until 1940 means usually the social dance, sometimes
ethnic or show dance. What did more than anything else to promote the jazz style
were the new fads of social dances. And invariably, these social dances Charleston,
Cakewalk, Lindy hop, Jitterbug, and later the Twist evolved from recognizably
African styles.
For the second period of jazz dance from 1945 to present. It was then
incorporated to ballet and modern dance. In this period, an individual was allowed to
his freedom of expression in style.
Late 50s was the success of rock and Roll and in this era, it also includes
other fad dances such as the Monkey, Pony, Dog, Chicken, Bird, Watusi, Mashed
Potato, Boogaloo and others.
By far most revolutionary change in jazz dance was effected by the joint and
nearly simultaneous influences of modern dance ballet. With their specialized
training, emphasizing classical control or precise and natural body expression, they
provided hitherto missing professional and artistic quality to jazz dance as we know it
today. In short, the all important ingredient of formal training is what modern and
ballet added to make it jazz.
Physical Activity Toward Health and Fitness 3 37

The two most important personalities in jazz are Jack Cole and Jerome
Robbins.

Learning Content

POPULAR DANCE

Pop dance originated in America in 1980. Pop dance is one of the


most popular types of dance ever since it was created. The word
"Pop" comes from the word popular. Pop dance and music was
always used in clubs and never heard elsewhere until the 1990's
when it started to become more popular and started to be heard on
radios, TV and much more.

Pop dance became so popular because it was so easy to dance


to and the lyrics were very simple, but remained catchy. Pop dance
and music evolved a lot ever since the 1980's when it was created,
pop dance became so popular that it started to be a type of
everyday music. Pop dance is so popular it is seen almost
everywhere. Pop dance started to be seen in games such as dance
central and many more. Pop dance was normally seen or used in
clubs or any kind of social event where groups of people would
come to dance.

POPULAR STYLES
Modern dance from 1990 to the present has taken a very different approach.
Some choreographers and dancers include in modern dance styles hip hop, lyrical,
free style and fusion, a combination of dance forms like tap, jazz, modern and ballet.

Since modern dance is usually performed in themed choreographic sequences, it


projects a message. Choreography of hip hop, fusion and free style dance tends to be
improvisational and without specific themes. Lyrical dance may have a choreographed
theme. It leans more toward interpretative dance. Today modern dance choreography
may or may not be interpretative.

Hip-hop

Hip-hop is a style of dance that evolved from hip-hop culture and is typically
danced to of course, hip hop music. Breakdancing is the most well-known type of
Physical Activity Toward Health and Fitness 3 53

hip-hop dance, but other styles include crumping, popping and locking. This style
of dance is probably the most different from the other forms. It is generally very
energetic and allows the dancer to have freedom of movement within the routine and
incorporate their personalities.

K-pop

K-pop is a genre of popular music originating in South Korea. It is influenced by


styles and genres from around the world, such as experimental, rock, jazz, gospel,
hip hop, R&B, reggae, electronic dance, folk, country, and classical on top of its
traditional Korean music roots.

FAD DANCE
As the pop music market exploded in the late 1950s, dance fads were
commercialized and exploited. From the 1950s to the 1970s, new dance fads
appeared almost every week. Many were popularized (or commercialized) versions
of new styles or steps created by African-American dancers.

Fad Dance are dances which are typically characterized by a short burst of
popularity. Some of them may get longer-lasting life. They are also called dance
fads or dance crazes. Dance fads are probably as old as dance itself, but the last
century has produced amazing technological developments that have helped modern
dance crazes spread worldwide faster and farther than ever before.

Fad dances which are meant to be danced individually as solo, others


are partner dances, and yet others are danced in groups. Some of them were
of freestyle type, there were no particular step patterns and they were distinguished
by the style of the dance movement.
