I. BASIS RHYTHMIC PATTERNS.

1. What is rhythm?
Rhythm is the regular recurrence of accented and unaccented beats.
(source , author , year ) Everyone reacts to music or rhythm in one
form or another by swaying , tapping , moving shoulders and body while
musical piece is played. Rhythmic activities are the physical manifestations
of the mental and emotional response of the individual to rhythm.
They are activities which respond to physical, social, and mental regular
patterns of sounds.
The basic / fundamental rhythms can be combined to make
movement patterns. These structural patterns when well organized
develop into dance forms. Fundamental rhythms of natural dances as they
are sometimes called, provide fun and enjoyment.

2. Phase of Rhythmic Activity Program

The following are the different phases of rhythmic activity program.

a. Creative and interpretative Rhythms - In this activity, the

choreographer interprets ideas, things, animals, people, occupations,
thoughts and feelings through body movements.
Examples: Animals > birds flying, galloping horse, elephants walk
Nature > incidence of fire, rain, storm, etc.
Occupation > planting, carpentry, teaching, street sweeper
Mechanical > airplane, train, doll, etc.

b. Dramatized Rhythms – The choreographer puts appropriate body

movements/actions to dramatize nursery rhymes, poems, stories or
songs.
Examples: The poem Humpty Dumpty
The story of the Sleeping Beauty
The nationalistic song bayan ko

c. Singing Games – The participants play as they sing a song.

Examples: London Bridge is Falling Down
I Point to Myself
Pen Pen de Sarapen

 d. Dance – The participants create body movements in rhythm, usually in
time with music. There are three classification of ancient dances
according to Plato.
1. Military Dances – They are the form of exercises intended to make
the body sturdy, active and well in preparation for war.
2. Domestic dances -This serve as a form of relaxation and
amusements.
3. Mediatorial dances– These are used for religious purposes.

Dances
Today there are three forms/types of dances.

a. Folk dances – where all dances steps and rhythmic patterns evolved
into a culture. This form of dances are traditional and social
expressions of the ideals,mores,feelings and thoughts of people or
group of people through their body movements.
b. Modern dance or social dance - This form of dances was started by
Martha Graham and other dance choreographers who followed her.
This form of dance expresses complex emotions and abstract ideas.
c. Pop dances or Popular dances – The now generation dances. They
might be the dance movements popular today but later they are passe
or not popular anymore. Movements and rhythmic beats are more
intense, fast, and complicated.

II. System of Rhythmic Patterns

The most practical way to identify or describe rhythmic pattern is through

counting. Counting goes with the correct rhythm of the music and with the steps of the
dance. It is observed that in every count, there is a corresponding rhythm or musical
note that corresponds to a particular step movement of a certain dance step.

The musical note is a unit to measure the exact duration of a certain rhythmic
movement to be taken in dancing. This is a printed symbol of a musical tone for every
dance movement.

There are other factors to consider in identifying the system of rhythmic pattern
in a musical composition.

At the beginning of a musical staff, there is the time signature which designates
the beat of the notes in every measure in all musical scoring.

Examples. These are the most commonly used time signatures:

1. 4/4 Time Signature indicates that there are 4 beats in one complete beat.
The Different notes with in a measure should have only 4 beats.

 2. ¾ Time Signature indicates that there are 3 beats in one complete beat.
The different notes with in a measure should receive only 3 beats.
3. 2/4 Time Signature indicates that there are 2 beats in one complete beat.
The different notes with in a measure should receive only 2 beats.

In the time signature, the upper number tells the number of beats in every
measure and the lower number tells what kind of note to receive one beat.

OTHER TERMS:

BEAT is the underlying pulse of a rhythm.

COUNT is a pulse beat on a time limit.

BAR is a vertical line across a staff dividing it into equal measure of time
in between two bars is a measure.

Note Pattern is refers to the different notes or set of notes with or

without rest found in every measure that is used for certain dance step.

Example: Contra Gansa>
