     Dance
    - The movement of the body in a rhythmic way, usually to music and within a given space, for the purpose of
    expressing an idea or emotion, releasing energy, or simply taking delight in the movement itself.
    - One of the most beautiful form of art
    - is a form of expression

    A truly universal definition of dance must, therefore, return to the fundamental principle that dance is an art
    form or activity that utilizes the body and the range of movement of which the body is capable.

    “Dance is a physical expression of inner emotion” by john martin (20 th century dance critic)

    Why do people dance?

     Used for worship


     Form of courtship
     To entertain

    TWO KINDS OF MOVEMENT:

     Non-locomotors
    - MOVEMENT WITHIN THE BODY WHICH INCLUDES THE HAND AND ARMS
     Locomotors
    - MOVEMENT FROM ONE SPACE TO ANOTHER

    FEATURES OF DANCE
    1. MUSIC
    - It closely related to dance for it plays a significant role in it. It is used as accompaniment that somehow
    motivates the dancer’s movement.
    2. MOVEMENT
    - It refers to action of dancers with the use of their bodies to create organized patterns.
    3. THEME
    - It pertains to the content or main ingredient of the dance. It actually conveys the message of the dance.
    4. TECHNIQUES
    - It refers to the skill in executing movement. As a dancer, one needs to have a complete control over the
    muscles of his body for him to be said technically proficient.
    5. DESIGN
    - It refers to the arrangement of movements according to pattern in time (either fast or slow) and space
    (one’s position in relation to his background).
    6. PROPERTIES AND COSTUMES
    - These contribute to the visual effect of dance. The costumes can somehow relate closely to the beliefs and
    environment of people.
    TYPES OF DANCES:
     Hip-hop and dance street
     Traditional ( folk & ethnic) & festival dance
     Modern contemporary
     Ballroom
     Cheer dance

    THE ELEMENTS OF DANCE:

    1. BODY
    - Dance is comprised of various body motions that express feeling and emotion. Our bodies move in ways to
    express ourselves using locomotor and non-locomotor movements.
    2. ENERGY
    - Energy is the force at which we express our body motions. Are you moving with hard motions? How do you
    choose to move? Bounce , shake , explode , or sway?
    3. SPACE/LEVEL
    - To show variation and movement, we need to use our surroundings well. We zigzag, move high and low. We
    use the entire space around us and below us.
    4. RELATIONSHIP
    - In dance, we often dance with one other person or with many people in a group. Just like with conversation,
    we communicate and react using our bodies.
    5. TIME
    - Timing is key to any dance. We follow the rhythm or beat to match our actions with the sound of the music.
    When working with others, we sometimes mimic another using time.
