stretching and relaxing.

Creative Rhythms
Are sometimes called
fundamental rhythms or
natural dances. A creative
rhythm is an end product of
exploration and improvisation
of movements as children
learn to move the parts of
their body and to use them as
instruments of expression.
Folk/Ethnic Dance
Is a cultural art form handed down
from generations to generations. It
communicates the customs,
beliefs, rituals, and occupations of
the people of a region or country.
Folk dancing belongs to the
people. It emanates from them.
Ethnic tribes have their specific
tribal art forms originated and
danced by the people of the tribe.
Folk/Ethnic Dance
Examples of folk dances are the
rural and country dances, jotas,
mazurkas, pandanggos, among
others with foreign influence.

Examples of ethnic dances are the


dances of the mountain peoples of
the Cordilleras, dances of the ethnic
groups in the Cagayan Valley
Region and the ethnic dances in the
Mindanao Regions.
Social and Ballroom Dance
The setting of the social and
ballroom dance is a social
gathering with the more formal
atmosphere than the simple and
informal parties in which the
recreational dances are the usual
forms. Social and ballroom
dancing are generally held in
the evenings. The participants
are usually in formal attire.
Social and Ballroom Dance

Examples of social and


ballroom dances are cha-cha,
fox trot, jitterbug, tango, samba,
rumba, quick step, jive, and
paso doble.
Recreational Dance
Recreational dance includes
dance mixers, square dance
round and couple dances.
Many of these dances have
simple patterns and
combinations of walking steps,
polka step and the waltz step.
The setting is usually informal
gatherings and parties, reunions.
Creative Dance
Is the highest form of dance. It is the
end-product of exploration and
improvisation of movements as the
dancer or the choreographer
expresses his feelings or emotions,
ideas, and interpretations.
This is a dance with a definite form,
a beginning and an ending. The
principles of art form are all observed
in the composition of the dance.
