Most Essential Learning Competencies:
At the end of the lesson, you will be
able to:

• Trace the brief history of dance

• Relate dance to having a healthy
lifestyle
 introduction
• The origin of dance is closely related to chanting, clapping of hands,
slapping of thighs, tapping, and stomping of feet
• Primitive people believed that dances bring magic.
• They celebrate every significant stage of life through dancing (birth,
growing up, marriage, death, and others).
• They danced to persuade nature to provide them with a bountiful harvest
by bringing sun or rain.
• They also danced to cast out misfortune, illness, and evil spirits.
• They used their bodies for free dance movements to express their
feelings and emotions.
• The rhythm as usually accompanied by excitement and an increase in
speed.
dANCE IN THE PHILIPPINES
• Dance in the Philippines mostly has the same origins
• it was initially also used to celebrate vital stages of
one's life and to make offerings or sacrifices to
deities.
• mostly preserved despite the country being colonized
by various colonizers, notably the Spaniards, Americans,
and Japanese.
• Today, there remains indigenous Filipino dances that
demonstrate the original use of precolonial Philippine
dances, and they need to be preserved for future
generations.
dANCE IN THE modern era
• Dance in the modern era evolved quite a lot, especially in the
context of fitness, since the publication of Dr. Kenneth
Cooper's Aerobics in 1968. Cooper's research studies of Air
Force personnel in the 1960s determined that the key to
human fitness was the ability of an individual to take in and
deliver oxygen to the entire body. Taking this as her
inspiration, the entrepreneur Jackie Sorenson created a
dance and fitness program in 1969 that ultimately paved the
way for dance being used to attain fitness goals. Sorenson's
program, in particular, became the the precursor to what is
now popularly known as aerobics; hence, Sorensen is also
referred to as the "Mother of Aerobic Dancing"

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT GENRES
OF DANCE?

the Latin word ballo, meaning "to

contemporary dance, and it is a
dance that appeared starting in M0DERN DANCE
the 20th century. It is a present-

Classical dances tell stories
based on legends and
mythologies using gestures,
masks, and elaborate make up.

dance of a given country that FOLK DANCE
evolved naturally with everyday
activities and innumerable
themes common to all its people.
The steps and patterns are
passed on from one generation
to another. Folk dances can be
participated by locals of all ages.

BALLROOM DANCE
that are commonly performed
inside a ballroom. This is also
known as social dance. This is
a popular dance that has its
roots in the 17th and 18th
centuries when ballroom was
danced in French courts for
entertainment purposes only.
 Dancing as a Form of
Exercise
Dancing is a full body workout. It uses
upbeat and inventive movements that
promote an active lifestyle Dancing is a
physical activity that can help you burn
about 600 calories per hour. Aside from
that, here are some of the reasons why
dancing is considered as a form of
exercise.
It builds muscular endurance It improves flexibility
Regular dancing improves an individual's Dancing stretches your body and
endurance. Muscular endurance is the develops flexibility. Improved
ability of the body to do vigorous flexibility is excellent for your
activities for a prolong period. Dance physical well-being since it
also heightens the body's heart rate to enhances mobility, posture, and
promote stamina building muscle coordination.

It makes use of aerobic and anaerobic

Dancing is a great formmovements.
of exercise since it incorporates movement
that are aerobics and anaerobic. To reach the optimum health, our
bodies need both aerobic and anaerobic movements.
 The Process of Energy Systems in
Dance
The body's source of energy is
adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a kind of
organic molecule that contains energy
within its cells. This ATP is then
metabolized or broken down by a
process known as hydrolysis, which
then releases said energy to drive the
body into action.
 Phosphate System

The phosphate system, also known as the

adenosine triphosphate-creatine phosphate (ATP-
CP) or adenosine triphosphate-phosphocreatine
(ATP-PC) system, is the system responsible for
giving the body energy for short bursts. These
bursts of energy usually last about 10 seconds, at
which point another energy system takes over in
producing ATP to sustain physical activity. This
energy system is optimized during short duration
exercises. The source of ATP for the phosphate
system is creatine phosphate or phosphocreatine
 Anaerobic Glycolysis System

This energy system is known as the lactic acid

system. During anaerobic glycolysis, the body
continues to produce energy using a process known
as glycolysis. This is the breaking down of glucose
la simple sugar) for energy generation. However,
the lactic acid formed during this process causes
fatigue to the muscles. The anaerobic glycolysis
system will provide energy for 30-45 seconds
during high intensity physical activities. The source
of ATP for this energy system are carbohydrates
and glucose.
 The Aerobic Energy System

This energy system is also known as aerobic

glycolysis. It is responsible for energy production
for physical activities beyond 60 seconds. The
source for ATP during aerobic energy system is fat,
carbohydrates, and protein. Example: Zumba
 Benefits of Dancing
After understanding how energy systems can affect the body during
dance activity, it is now possible to start identifying the various positive
effects of dancing and how to use it in alleviating some common health
