Rhythm is most clearly seen through dance- the art of movement

combination of those mentioned.
2. Level—is movement through space that maybe done at a high, low, or medium level.

or large when movement covers a wide area as when getting away from one’s place.

PHASES OF THE DANCE PROGRAM
1. 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.
2. Folk/ Ethnic dance
Is a cultural art form handed down from generation 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.
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.
3. 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.
4. 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 etc.
5. 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.
