Ethnic and Cultural Dance (cont.): Religious or Ceremonial Dance: Choreography played a significant role in many cultural events throughout history. The origins of dance show that dance was created and performed in celebrations, rituals, and rites of passage. Native Indians, for example, have expressed mourning the spirit in dance movement. They have also used dance as a ritual to prepare for battles and to celebrate joyful occasions. Many cultures consider dance a universal spiritual language.

...

Ethnic and Cultural Dance: Cultural dances - often carry important historical significance from ancient civilizations. Classic cultural dances from around the world include the Chinese ribbon dance, the Polish polonaise, and India's Kathakali or Bharatanatyam dance. Another cultural dance is "clogging," traditionally from Wales, which involves double taps on both the heel and ball of the foot. Popular performances of the production Riverdance demonstrate Irish dancing. Some popular historical dances that are often used today include the pavane or galliard (from the Renaissance period), the minuet, Charleston, twist, disco, hip-hop, and Lambada.

Folk Dance (cont.): Maypole dance: Often danced on May Day in various European nations such as Germany and Sweden, the Maypole dance is taught in American schools today. The maypole itself is a tall pole decorated with floral garlands, flags, and streamers. Ribbons are attached to a pole, so that children can hold a ribbon as they dance.

Folk Dance: All folk dance is a form of cultural dance. Folk dance originated from medieval times when townspeople danced to celebrate. Medieval "carolers" were the first folk dancers and could be found throughout England and other parts of Europe.

...

Guidelines for analyzing dance from various societies and cultures around the world should include: ■ the origin and purpose of the dance (i.e., ceremonial, social, ritual, etc.). ■ the geographic location and climate of the country. ■ the rituals, customs, and beliefs of the culture. ■ historical influences of the dance. ■ symbolism, analogies, or metaphors used in the dance.

...

The dynamic complexity of these elements can be combined to create dozens of combinations of dance movements.

...

The elements of dance movements are space, time, levels (dynamics), and force (energy). These elements are fundamental to the art of dance, and CSET candidates will be required to know these conceptual tools.

...

The emphasis of these elements is based upon the student's experience, performance level, and creative expression.

...

The foundation of the elements of dance begins prior to entering school as children first express movement through their experiences of play.

...

The language of dance provides children with a unique opportunity to appreciate movement from the vibrant cultures around the world that interface with music, literature, theatre, and visual arts.

...

Use key words and counts to cue the steps and directional changes, and to alert students (e.g., "ready"). This helps students keep the main rhythmic pattern and encourages them to gain a sense of the whole.
