BENEFITS OF DANCE AND CREATIVE MOVEMENT

Physical, Mental/Emotional, Social, Cultural

Education

Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates are Greek philosophers who strongly asserted that dance is an art as an integration of body and soul.

Dance comes from different periods

Prehistoric era, Pre-Christian, Ancient Greeks, Education, Ancient Rome, Catholic church, Renaissance

ELEMENTS OF DANCE

Space, Timing, Dance Energies, Bodily Shapes, Group Shapes

Folk dance

These are hundreds of traditional dance collections found in the country that are mostly for all occasions. They come from the southern to northern parts of the Philippines islands. These dances exhibit the customs, ideas, beliefs, superstitions, and events of daily living in a certain Filipino community.

Ancient Greeks

dance is closely linked with other kinds of experiences. Dancing was taught as an aid to military education among boys of Athens and Sparta, not just for religious and military training but also for entertainment and display.

Renaissance

dance then was wholly accepted in the courts during early renaissance as the gradual increase of the capitalist class produced patrons of learning and art in Europe. During the renaissance, dance and art in general gained impetus. The entertainers now became valuable appendage to the courts of Italy and France and they were to serve the secular goals of the wealthy and powerful nobles who had emerged throughout Europe. A vast dance movement occurred throughout the courts of Europe I the 15th and 16th centuries. During these times, new court dances performed by the nobility came about as well as the right of the art of ballet in Italy and France. From then on, several other dance forms continued to sprout and spread across several countries. Other dance forms also came to light and have been widely recognized worldwide (Kraus and Gaufman, 1981)

Dance Energies

dance uses different energies and a varied use of these minimizes the monotony of the movements in a performance. There are six qualities of dance energies.

Ritual and ceremonial dances

dances performed as part of the rituals and ceremonies of a certain tribe or group of people.

Festival dances

dances that are either religious or secular and relate to the celebration of recurring events of special significance.

Occupational dances

dances that depict the means of livelihood of the Filipino people. Palay festival, a national dance in rice-growing regions, is an example of an occupational dance wherein dancers portray different steps in rice-growing - from planting to harvesting to threshing, flailing, pounding, airing and winnowing (Aquino, 1979).

War dances

dances that express feud and enmity wherein two male dancers engage in physical combat with Spartan-like intensity (Lopez, 2006). Maglalatik (Biña, Laguna) is an example of war dance as this depicts a battle between Muslims of Southern Philippines and the Christians Filipinos of the lowlands over latik (the residue after coconut boils down). In this dance, the Muslim won, and the Christians sought conciliation in order to convert the Muslim Moros to Christianity (Aquino, 1979).

Social amenities dances

dances that express social graces, hospitality, and offerings of gifts to friends. All social ballroom dances and most of the "Filipinized" Western dances that show camaraderie merriment belong to this group (Lopez, 2006).

Mimetic or drama dances

dances that mimic animals, inanimate objects, or other people. The dancers get into roles other than themselves and become actors totally immersed in the story the dances tell. The itik-itik dance from Surigao is an example of a mimetic dance as it imitates the movements of a duck.

Life-cycle dances

dances that serve as ritual as one passes to a different stage in life such as from birth to childhood to adulthood; from singlehood to marriage; and from life to death. Below are the different dances that portray life cycle: a. Courtship dances b. Wedding dances c. Funeral dances

Catholic Church

development of the Catholic Church in Europe following the fall of Rome transformed the history of dance. Christian fathers approved the use of dance, provided that its form and intent were holy and profound. Dances then became part of worships and church services.

Noble

fine and honorable

Ignoble

imitating what is mean and ugly

Group shapes

in this element, a group of dancers perform movements in different group shapes. They are arranged in ways that are wide, narrow, rounded, angular, symmetrical or asymmetrical and are viewed together as a total picture or arrangement within a picture frame.

Bodily Shapes

it refers to how the entire body is molded in a space or the configuration of the body parts. The body can be rounded, angular, or a combination of two. Other boy shapes can be from wide to narrow and from high to low. They can be symmetrical and asymmetrical.

Sustained

movements are done smoothly, continuously, and with flow and control. It does not have a clear beginning and ending.

Percussive

movements are explosive or sharp in contrast with sustained movements. They are accented with thrust of energy. They have a clear beginning and end.

Suspended

movements are perched in a space or hanging on air. Holding a raised leg in any direction is an example of a suspended movements.

Collapsing

movements are released in tension and gradually or abruptly giving in to gravity letting the body descend to the floor. A slow collapse can be described as a melting or oozing action in a downward direction.

Level

movements can be done in a high, medium, or low level.

Size

movements can be varied by doing larger or smaller actions

Vibratory

movements consist of trembling or shaking. A faster version of percussive movement that produces jittery effect.

Swinging

movements traced a curved line or an arc in space. The movements are relaxed and giving in to gravity on the downward part of the motion, followed by an upward application of energy.

Prehistoric era

people in this era perform a dance in a way they hoped would appease the forces of nature or give them new powers of their own. As Krauf and Gaufman (1981) said, "man danced originally to supplicate the gods on all important occasions of life". Nevertheless, dances during this period have not been fully recorded.

Focus

performers may change their focus by looking at different directions.

Ancient Rome

they gave less importance in dancing. It stopped valuing such qualities in art as the nation grew wealthy and powerful. The Romans ceased to create and perform within the arts themselves. Dance became brutal and sensualized since the performers are slaves and captives from many nationalities, and it was used more often for gruesome purposes (Kraus, et al., 1981). Eventually, dance became part of corruption resulting in the condemnation of dance by early Christians.

Space

this is the area the performers occupy and where they move. It can be divided into four different aspects also known as spacial elements

Pre-Christian

through middle eastern civilizations, dance became full-blown and was highly recorded in ancient Egypt. It was reflected in their wall paintings, reliefs, and in a literary record in hieroglyphs. Most of the dances in this era were chiefly a medium of religious expression.

Asymmetrical
