Quarter 1 – Module 3:
ART DANCE: BALLET AND
MODERN
Week 3-4
 What I Need to Know
The dance that we know today is the direct outcome of all versions of the
previous forms. These are the ballet and modern/contemporary dance. Ballet
and modern dancing have unique physical demands and specific injury risks.
There are also some physical demands that are common to a wide variety of dance forms.
Many types of dance that includes ballet and modern dancing involves jumping, turning,
toe pointing, back arching, and lifting.
In this module, we will discuss the history, nature, characteristics, and basic movements of
ballet and modern dance that can be considered moderate-to vigorous physical activity
(MVPA). Moderate activity requires a moderate amount of effort and raises your heart rate to
a degree. Vigorous activity demands a large amount of effort that raises your heart rate
considerably and forces you to breathe intensely. These activities can also produce sprains,
fractures, tendonitis, hip, knee injuries and many others. Some guidelines will be pointed out
in order to reduce your risk of injury, thus, safety in dancing will be upheld. These includes
knowing proper posture, injury causes, symptoms and preventions and proper etiquette and
safety in the use of facilities and equipment.
At the end of this module, you will engage dancing ballet/modern contemporary dance as
MVPA. You will be given activities to display and enhance your skills in ballet and
modern/contemporary dancing. As you go on and overcome the challenges provided for you,
you will learn that this dance is fun and exciting, while at the same time help improve your
fitness while promoting safety in dancing.

The module is divided into three lessons, namely:

• Lesson 1 – Ballet Dance
• Lesson 2 – Modern Dance
• Lesson 3 – Safety in Dancing

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. discuss the nature of ballet and modern dances;
2. demonstrate proper etiquette and safety in the use of facilities and equipment; and
3. engage in moderate to vigorous physical activities (MVPAs) for at least 60 minutes
most days of the week in a variety of settings in and out-of school.

 What is It

Lesson 1
Ballet Dance

Brief History
Ballet was taken from the Italian word “ballare”, meaning to dance, and “ballo”,
referring to dances performed in a ballroom. It started as a performance in the
royal court where the male servants would execute a movement related to the
course they are serving during a court dinner. It was in the 15th century during the
Renaissance period when ballet began in Italy. From Italy, Catherine de Medici
(Queen of France) brought it to her country which marked the staging of ballet
and further developed at the French courts during the 16th century. In 1672, ballet
then also became a profession. Ballet in the French courts became so popular that
it spread and influenced the entire Europe. Many of the features that we see in
ballet today began only during the Romantic era in the 19 th century. Ballet was
imported to Russia during the country’s first period of Westernization when many
European fashions, including dance, were emulated. The end of the 19th century
gave birth to classical ballet in Russia where it rapidly grew in popularity. Ballet
and the arts in general experienced an enormous change during the 20 th century.
This was due to the Russian Revolution, World Wars, and liberation of women. It
was also in this time that ballet reached in the United States. The American
colonization paved the way for the introduction of classical ballet in the
Philippines. Although ballet in the Philippines started a little later compared to
European and Western countries, it does not fall far behind when it comes to
producing world-class ballet performances. Several ballet companies such as
Ballet Philippines and Ballet Manila have prospered and are recognized
internationally. They also have trained and produced dancers of international
caliber.
Ballet today has become multifaceted and several of its forms are linked together
to create what is now known as modern ballet. Ballet acts as backbone for many
other genres of dance. It was created from techniques that have been established
over centuries. It is a type of dance compelled with rigorous code of technical
6
guidelines. Considering the five fundamental positions of the feet and legs and
accompanying positions of the arms and hands, one can say that the language of
ballet is objective, specific, and fix.

Nature and Characteristics:

❖ It requires an erect spine, turned out hips, proportioned and balanced action,
and carving fluid lines.
❖ Elevation, alignment, pointing of the foot, moving and posing of arms (port
de bras), flexibility, and lightness are the other foundations for a ballet
dancer.
❖ In classical manner, will require for an adagio (slowly), and with male and
female dancers performing together (a pas de deux) or four (quatre) Used
pantomime to clarify movement.
❖ Have the capability to convey stories that bring an audience to another world.

Lesson 2 Modern Dance

Brief History
Modern dance developed independently in America and Germany. It was then
known in Germany as Ausdruckstanz, meaning expressive dance. Modern dance,
a term to describe contemporary dance, is a style of dancing where dancers are
free to express their feelings through movements without adhering to any rules in
dance particularly that of ballet. It is a dance style that rejects many of the strict
rules of classical ballet, focusing instead on the expression of inner feelings. At
the beginning of the 20th century, a group of pioneering dancers started creating a
new movement that suited the tempo and pulse of the new century. The pioneering
artists were Isadora Duncan, Ruth St. Denis, and Ted Shawn. All of them studied
ballet but found it not suitable to their temperament and movement style. They
also found it confining and rejected it. Duncan’s style of dancing emanates from
the center of the body where energy flow outward, providing impulses for actions.
Her aim was to create the classical ideals of the ancient Greeks through her
dancing, putting less emphasis on theatrical effects and focus in pure movement
and the use of the body. Unlike ballet, dancers of modern dance use their own
interpretations instead of structured steps. They thrust aside classical ballet stance
of an upright, erect body, and instead often opt for deliberate falls to the floor.
Beauty and ethereal qualities of the human situation is what is mostly being
emphasized in ballet, while modern dance portrays the actual human situation as
it is.
10
Nature and Characteristics:
❖ Dancers are barefoot, often work with feet and legs parallel, have flexible
torso, and use weight and gravity to create movements and shapes.
❖ The choreography uses all level and points in space, including the floor.
❖ Dancers may be placed sideways or even with backs turned to the audience.
❖ Explore the body in action, and give attention to choreographic materials that
mirror social affairs with potential for movement from contemporary life.
❖ Uses minimal prop designs and costumes.
❖ Movement are spontaneous performed by dancers in response to suggestions
by the choreographer, thus allows considerable freedom to the dancer.

Lesson 3 Safety in Dancing

Dance may look effortless, but it requires a lot of strength, flexibility and stamina.
It also comes with a high risk of injuries. Whether you are a dancer, the parent of
a dancer or a dance teacher, you should be aware of the most common dance
injuries and learn how to avoid them. Dance is a physically demanding activity.
Dancers perform repetitive movements for several hours a day. Studies have
shown that dancing five hours a day or longer leads to an increased risk of stress
fractures and other injuries. The following are to be considered in order to promote
safety in dancing:
Proper Posture
Good posture is vital for control, safety, and expression. Poor posture or alignment
of one part ricochets throughout the rest of the body. The correct postural line runs
from the ear lobe, the center of the shoulder and hip, in front of the ankle, and
down through the foot. The shoulders, hips, and knees should be on the same level
along the imaginary line. Dance programs usually emphasize the importance of
core stability and body awareness. However, having improper posture while
dancing may cause problems in the future and lead to some chronic injuries. The
following faulty alignment in training must be avoided:
1. weight too far back,
2. failing to turn out from the hips,
3. twisted hips,
4. feet overturning/rolling, and
5. misuse of muscle groups.
14
Knowing Dance-Related Injuries
There are two types of musculoskeletal injuries: acute and chronic. Acute injuries
occur when the mechanical force that is absorbed by the musculoskeletal structure
is more than what it is accustomed to. Chronic injuries occur due to repetitive
trauma and the body is not given enough time to recover. Below are common
acute dance-related injuries, cause, symptoms and prevention:

Majority of overuse injuries and even some traumatic dance injuries can be
prevented. Follow these guidelines to reduce your risk of injury:
1. Warm up thoroughly before you start dancing and include stretches.
2. Make sure that you are using the correct posture or technique.
3. Eat well and stay hydrated before, during and after dancing.
4. Get enough rest and avoid overtraining.
5. Do cross-training exercises to build strength and endurance in all parts of
your body.
6. Always wear proper shoes and attire.
7. Lead a healthy lifestyle and get to know your body.
8. When injuries happen, address them immediately and get advice from a
doctor or physical therapist.
Proper Etiquette and Safety in the Use of Facilities and Equipment
Aside from precautionary measures in dance injury prevention, proper etiquette
and safety in the use of facilities and equipment in dancing has to be taken into
considerations:
1. Take care in using dancing facilities and equipment. It is in good form to
handle them with care and use them solely on their purpose. This is to
prevent having them misplaced, stolen or become unnecessary clutters in
the training area than can cause accidents.
2. Only use dancing equipment that you already know how to use and do not
leave or pass on equipment that is in complete disarray or dirty.
3. Be alert and aware in the dancing/training area.
4. In performing exercises and movement in general, practice good form first.
5. Bring back all equipment in place after use.
6. Do not hug the equipment.
16
 7. Return the dancing equipment properly or leave the dance venue clean.
Doing exercises in improper form deficit it's benefits. Do not monopolize
the equipment. Allow everyone a fair use of the facilities.
8. Practice proper hygiene and care. Take a bath or a deodorant if needed. Do
not force yourself to engage in physical activity if you are feeling sick.
9. Move on the double; do not loiter around the venue or hang on the
equipment doing nothing. Do not handle it until such time the
teacher/facilitator gives instructions on how to operate the said equipment.
You could break the equipment or cause harm to yourself or others.
10. Be nice, as a general rule!

What I Have Learned

1. Ballet acts as backbone for many other genres of dance. It was created from
techniques that have been established over centuries. Acclaimed as one of
the most admired and most complex dance of all time, ballet sustained its
growth to global dominance. In the present times, numerous other
professional dances came to be, such as modern/contemporary dance, and
concert dance but none of them managed to outshine the intricacy, physical
strain, and heritage of ballet.
2. Ballet and modern dance is both an artistic, athletic, expressive, and social
form of either moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA). MVPA refers
to 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, commonly
abbreviated as MVPA. The physical aspects of dance can be both a valuable
source of exercise as well as a cause of injury. For young people who take
dance classes, have formal training in dance, or perform as dancers.
3. Increasing MVPA has the greatest potential for increasing health benefits as
it generates more energy expenditure; contributes to obesity prevention and
muscular and bone development; reduces anxiety and stress; improves self-
esteem, mood and concentration; and reduces the risk of chronic disease.
19
 4. Both ballet and modern dance movement incorporates locomotor and non-
locomotor movements. Locomotor movements are those that incorporate
traveling from one point to another while non-locomotor movements are
body movements without travel. Manipulative movements involve both the
body and an object. Combining any of the locomotor and non-locomotor
movements will create another step.
5. Ballet and modern dance have unique physical demands and specific injury
risks since they involved jumping, turning, toe pointing, back arching, and
lifting. Safety in dancing can be achieved if certain precautionary measures
will be considered such as knowing proper posture, dance-related injuries
prevention and control and proper etiquette in the use of facilities and
equipment.

What I can do
