What is Dance and Different Forms of Dance?

Dance is the movement of the body in a rhythmic way, usually to music and
within space, for purpose of expressing an idea or emotion, releasing
energy, or simply taking delight in the movement itself (Judith R. Mackarell).
Dancingis not only a fun, exciting way to work out, it's healthy too. With
many different types of dancing out there, you are bound to find one that’s
right for you. Below is a brief description of various forms of dance to check
out!
Ballet: Ballet is traditionally performed in theaters and respected
throughout the world. It requires patience, flexibility and dancers who are
light on their feet. When performed correctly, ballet is eloquent and
beautiful, but it's not so easy to be good right away. Ballet is pretty similar
in all forms, but there is classical, neoclassical and contemporary ballet.
Tap: is performed with special tap shoes that are used like drumsticks to perform a rhythm and noise on the
dance floor. The overall goal of tap dancing is to perform a beat with one’s dance moves. Tap dancing does not

only make noise, it is also fast, vibrant and exciting to watch. Tap classes are easily available, and it is easy to take
up at a young age.
Jazz: it originated in the early 1900's from African American culture. It has been performed in many different
forms and is really common among young kids. Jazz is known for some of its moves such as “jazz hands” or spins.
Jazz can also be performed to different types of music such as pop. To picture modern Jazz, think of some of
Michael Jackson’s moves.
Hip-Hop: is performed to hip-hop music and was originally performed on the streets by people making up moves
on the spot. Hip-hop is very lively and really allows individual personalities to come out. Some popular hip-hop
moves are breaking, popping and locking. Hip-hop is popular in movies and shows, but because it’s so prevalent
in urban cultures, where styles and themes change constantly, there are new moves all the time.
Modern: It focuses on inner emotions and can sometimes look similar to ballet. Unlike ballet, however, modern
dance uses body weight to exaggerate movements instead of being light on your feet. There are many different
types of modern dance, and it is popular among younger athletes.
Swing: is fun, energetic dancing that involves literally swinging your partner around the dance floor. Swing is fun
for dancers of all ages and especially popular among adult couples. It’s a great way to meet new people and get
a workout. There are classes that teach you the basics, but you can add individual moves whenever you like.
Contemporary: incorporates the strong legwork and balance of ballet and the trunk movements of modern
dance.
Concert Dance - Concert dance (also known as stage dance) is any choreographed dance that is performed for an
audience, usually at the theatre or an organized gathering setting with the presence of set music. It is a polar
opposite of social or participation dances, where participants can freely dance how and when they wish. Most
popular concert dances are Ballet, Acrobatic dance, tap dance, modern dance, classical Indian or Persian dances
and others.
Ballroom: is a set of partner dances, which are enjoyed socially and competitively around the world because of
its performance and entertainment aspects which sometimes widely enjoyed on stage, film and television.

A. ACTIVITY / SKILL DEVELOPMENT

Activity 1: Discussion Points

Direction: Answer the following questions as best as you can. Use the space provided for your answers.

1. Which of the following form of dance is the easiest to perform? Why?

The easiest type of dance to do among the choices given may differ from person to person depending on
personal preferences, physical talents, and prior experiences. Tap dance, on the other hand, may be regarded
easier for novices. Tap dancing includes making rhythmic noises with specific shoes, and while coordination
and practice are required, the fundamental routines may be learnt at a young age. The audible feedback from
the taps can assist beginners in connecting motions and beats, making it an approachable and pleasurable
style of dance for many.
2. Which of the following form of dance you think is considered the hardest? Why?
Ballet is widely regarded as one of the more difficult styles of dance. It necessitates extreme physical fitness,
flexibility, strength, and grace. Ballet dancers of all levels may find it difficult to achieve the technical
perfection and creative expression required. Furthermore, ballet is known for its rigid and conventional set
of moves and stances, making it less forgiving to novices. The emphasis on good form and obtaining fluidity
in movements, combined with the requirement for significant strength and flexibility, adds to the idea that
ballet is one of the most difficult dance disciplines to learn.

Activity 2: Need to Learn

Direction: Based on the discussion on proper etiquette and safety rules in the use of facilities and
equipment’s, answer the following questions.

1. Why is it important to consider different facilities and equipment’s needed before engaging in dancing?
For several reasons, it is critical to evaluate various facilities and equipment before engaging in dancing.
Firstly, to ensure the safety of participants — certain dance forms may require specific flooring, mirrors, or
bars. Ballet dancers, for example, frequently use barres for assistance during certain exercises. Having
adequate facilities minimizes the likelihood of accidents and injuries. Secondly, for optimal performance —
the proper equipment improves the whole dance experience and allows dancers to perform to their full
potential. Proper dance shoes, for example, can provide the appropriate support and flexibility for varied
motions, contributing to improved performance and comfort. Lastly, for artistic expression — Certain dance
genres may necessitate the use of specific props or locations in order to convey the appropriate artistic
expression. Taking into account the facilities and equipment helps dancers to fully express themselves within
their environment.

2. Give at least three (3) safety protocols to avoid Dehydration, Overexertion, Hypothermia and Hyperthermia
when exercising and explain how you will apply these practices in dancing.
Keeping Hydration:
Academic Practice: It is recommended that regular water breaks be incorporated into dance lessons,
especially during rigorous or longer rehearsals.
Application: Provide easy access to water within the dancing space, emphasizing the necessity of hydration
by pushing participants to take brief water breaks.

Intensity and Duration Management:

Academic Practice: Create dancing routines that gradually increase both intensity and duration to aid in the
body's gradual adaption. Incorporate thorough warm-up and cool-down sessions into dancing rehearsals, and
keep a close eye on performers for signs of exhaustion. Adjust the intensity and duration of sessions based
on the skill levels and overall fitness of the dancers.

Observing Signs of Distress:

Academic Practice: Inform dancers on the signs and symptoms of dehydration, overexertion, hypothermia,
and overheating. Encourage open discussion about any discomfort or unexpected symptoms during practice.
Designate a qualified individual to systematically monitor participants' well-being and respond to any
indicators of distress as soon as possible.

Activity 3: My Inner Me
Direction: Using the following pictures, create a symbol that will represent your inner self
in dancing. Inside the box, explain your symbol in 3 sentences only.

The dancer's body moves continuously, like
paint across a canvas. Her pose is fluid,
suggesting improvisation and freedom of
expression. The confetti and stars add a
burst of color and joy, reflecting the dancer's
emotions and the energy of the dance.
