A. Physical Benefits
B. Mental Benefits
D. Social Benefits
Getting fit does not have to be the chore it’s often perceived to be. Instead, as
people all around the globe are finding out each day, dancing is one of the best
fitness workouts there is. Dancing offers upbeat and inventive exercise, that
promotes a more healthy and active lifestyle. Sociable, energizing and life-affirming,
dance has a whole host of body benefits, from aiding joint flexibility through to
boosting mental wellbeing.
Here are reasons why dance is such a great fitness activity.
Dancing is good for the heart. It gives a sense of balance and coordination. It
is a workout that engages the entire body. A 30-minuite dancing burns between 130
and 250 calories, about the same as jogging.
Dancing varies from ballroom to ballet, modern, and cultural. Choosing the
dance style and intensity level that meets your needs will help you fulfill your desired
goal, be it to learn or specialize in a skill or to enhance health and physical fitness.
When engaging in any form of dance, always consider the FITT principle of
athletic training to be able to perform efficiently and minimize unnecessary body
stress and injury.
1. Ballroom Dancing
-Ballroom dancing may not look like an athletic activity, but it can surely make
you sweat and raise your heart rate.
2. Zumba
- It is a whole-body workout that incorporates Latin music and dance moves
(typically salsa) into a routine. In this fitness activity, you’ll alternate between fast and
slow movements.
3. Jazzercise
- This fitness program also includes Pilates, yoga, kickboxing, and resistance
training. Thus, the choreography may include body-weight exercises and the use of
free weights or resistance bands.
4. Barre
- It is a full-body workout that combines the principles of ballet, yoga, Pilates,
and strength training.
5. Pole Dancing
- This fitness program is a combination of Pilates, TRX, yoga, and strength
training. So, your endurance and flexibility will also be improved in this fun,
challenging, and liberating activity.
6. Buti Yoga
- This workout is a bit forceful and invigorating. Nonetheless, you will still get
the mind and body benefits of traditional yoga.
Nutrition in Dancing
Good nutrition is critical to a dancer’s success. Continual training, rehearsing,
and performing put serious strain on muscles, joints, and bones. Proper nutrition can
help in growing lean muscles, absorbing essential nutrients, repairing injuries, and
preventing fatigue. Doctors and nutritionist advocate eating well-balanced food that
supplies nourishment and stamina without adding too much calories.
Physical Activity Toward Health and Fitness 3 6
Carbohydrate
• It is the major source of energy.
• During digestion, carbohydrates break down into glucose stored in the as
glycogen, which fuels energy and keeps muscles working.
• During strenuous periods of rehearsals, and competition or performance,
dancers should increase carbohydrate intake to 65% of their diet.
• Good complex carbohydrates worth incorporating into meals include whole-
grain breads and pasta, grains, and starchy vegetables.
• Whole grains take longer to break down than white or refined carbohydrates,
providing dancers with more energy for longer periods of time.
• Eating carbohydrates before and after exercising, class, rehearsals, and
performances is also necessary to replenish glycogen.
Protein
• It helps repair muscle fibers that are stressed by constant use.
• It synthesizes enzymes required for proper metabolism.
Fat
• Fat from the diet provides structure for all cell membranes, comprises the
insulating layer around nerves, and forms the base of many hormones. Fat
is needed for the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and is an important fuel
muscles.
• Fatty acids are used as an energy source in the muscles for endurance
activities such as long rehearsal where the body continuously exercises for
over 20 minutes at a time.
Micronutrients
Vitamins and minerals comprise the micronutrients in the diet.
• The B vitamins play an important role in energy production.
• Vitamin A, C, and E function as antioxidants that are necessary for the
repair and recovery of overstressed muscles caused by strenuous classes
and rehearsals.
• Vitamin D is important in bone formation.
• Calcium is also important in bone formation. It is essential to ingest
adequate calcium during the bone growth years.
• Iron carries oxygen in the blood and is used to produce energy in the
muscles.
Physical Activity Toward Health and Fitness 3 7
Hydration
Dancers sweat as they generate heat during training, rehearsal, and
performance. This is how the body cools itself. This loss of fluid, however, can
lead to dehydration, resulting in dizziness, lack of energy, inability to
concentrate, sore muscles, and lackluster performance. Hence, adequate fluid
intake is a must for all dancers.

Learning Content
Rhythm
Rhythm is a bodily responses made to any type of rhythmic accompaniment.
It includes a set series or specific pattern of sequential actions. All works of art
require rhythm. It is the most clearly seen through dance – the art of movement.
Rhythm is natural to every individual. The beating of your heart, the
movement of your lungs as oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is forced out of
your system, and other movements of the organs in your body has rhythm.
Our universe is also works in a system of rhythm. The movement of the earth
around the sun and the moon around the earth create the movement of day and
night and that of the tides. Nature itself is a manifestation of rhythm.
When you move in response to a particular rhythm or music we call the
movements as rhythmic movements or rhythms.
Elements of Rhythm
Your movements are affected by the different elements of rhythm. They are
the following:
1. Beat – the underlying pulse of a rhythm
2. Measure – a group of underlying beats
3. Pattern – refers to the grouping of sounds or beats related to the
underlying beat
Physical Activity Toward Health and Fitness 3 12
Natural Movements
The natural movements are classified into two: locomotor and non-locomotor
or axial movements.
When you move your body in any direction with your feet as the moving base
this is called locomotor movement. But if the various parts of your body move in
space without moving from any direction this is called non-locomotor.
This movements are the foundation when you participate in any games,
sports activities, dance, gymnastics, stunts, and aquatic activities.
Here are the examples of Locomotor Movements:
WALKING – moving at moderate pace on feet, lifting one foot only after the
other foot has touched the floor or ground.
RUNNING – moving on foot with springing steps at rapid pace such that for
an instant both feet are off-ground during each step.
HOPPING – springing on one foot and landing on the same foot.
LEAPING – springing on one foot and landing on the other foot
GALLOPING – moving in continuous forward or sideward direction with one
foot leading.
SKIPPING – same procedure as in hopping, but bouncing lightly with
alternative steps and hops.
JUMPING – springing and taking off with one foot and landing on both feet.

BALLROOM DANCING
Module 4
AND JAZZ
Introduction
Faster than the actual illness, across the world there is concern spreading due
to the recent pandemic of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). As general
guidance, the World Health Organization encourages communities to integrate
exercise in their daily lives and stay physically active in limited space: “Stay
physically active during self-quarantine”.
These times will pass, but while we are in the thick of it we need to keep our
focus on the positives. More than ever, we need to dance with purpose to remind the
world that humanity still exists.
Ballroom dance such as Jazz in particular is one source of joy and inspiration
during these dark and unsettling times and a way to be more active and physically fit
even during this pandemic situation. It is meant to be a medium of self-expression,
and as a student, learning new styles and techniques in Jazz can further your craft.
In this module, you can learn new styles and techniques to enhance and
explore your abilities in dancing Jazz movements.

Introduction to Jazz
JAZZ. It is an improvisational, Afro-American musical idiom that developed in
the United States during the 20th century. The word jazz is obscure and possibly non-
musical origin and man first applied to music in Chicago about 1915. It usually
employs a basic 2/4 or 4/4 time signature.
The story of jazz dances starts with the coming of African culture to America
though American slaves trade. The wholesale and compulsory seizure of the African
natives was meant to bolster America’s economic life.
For the Africans music and dance had always had an immense significance. If
they will be asked about these two, they will undoubtedly relate an account of his
social and religious activities for they believed that music and dance is the
expression of the African rhythm of life up to 1940 as still essentially of Negro origin
which includes the dances like Tap dance, Clog, Soft shoe, Breck and swing, Irish jig
and Lindy hop.
The term jazz dance until 1940 means usually the social dance, sometimes
ethnic or show dance. What did more than anything else to promote the jazz style
were the new fads of social dances. And invariably, these social dances Charleston,
Cakewalk, Lindy hop, Jitterbug, and later the Twist evolved from recognizably
African styles.
For the second period of jazz dance from 1945 to present. It was then
incorporated to ballet and modern dance. In this period, an individual was allowed to
his freedom of expression in style.
Late 50s was the success of rock and Roll and in this era, it also includes
other fad dances such as the Monkey, Pony, Dog, Chicken, Bird, Watusi, Mashed
Potato, Boogaloo and others.
By far most revolutionary change in jazz dance was effected by the joint and
nearly simultaneous influences of modern dance ballet. With their specialized
training, emphasizing classical control or precise and natural body expression, they
provided hitherto missing professional and artistic quality to jazz dance as we know it
today. In short, the all important ingredient of formal training is what modern and
ballet added to make it jazz.

The two most important personalities in jazz are Jack Cole and Jerome
Robbins.

Learning Content
POPULAR DANCE
POPULAR STYLES
Modern dance from 1990 to the present has taken a very different approach.
Some choreographers and dancers include in modern dance styles hip hop, lyrical,
free style and fusion, a combination of dance forms like tap, jazz, modern and ballet.
Hip-hop
Hip-hop is a style of dance that evolved from hip-hop culture and is typically
danced to of course, hip hop music. Breakdancing is the most well-known type of
Physical Activity Toward Health and Fitness 3 53
hip-hop dance, but other styles include crumping, popping and locking. This style
of dance is probably the most different from the other forms. It is generally very
energetic and allows the dancer to have freedom of movement within the routine and
incorporate their personalities.
K-pop
FAD DANCE
As the pop music market exploded in the late 1950s, dance fads were
commercialized and exploited. From the 1950s to the 1970s, new dance fads
appeared almost every week. Many were popularized (or commercialized) versions
of new styles or steps created by African-American dancers.
Fad Dance are dances which are typically characterized by a short burst of
popularity. Some of them may get longer-lasting life. They are also called dance
fads or dance crazes. Dance fads are probably as old as dance itself, but the last
century has produced amazing technological developments that have helped modern
dance crazes spread worldwide faster and farther than ever before.
