Key ideas: dancing and physical fitness
Why folk dance matters
The module describes dancing as a physical activity where the body moves rhythmically, usually to music. People dance to perform, celebrate, praise, compete, and express their thoughts and feelings. Dancing keeps people healthy in body, mind, and spirit.
Folk dance is described as a traditional, recreational, and social expression through movement with rhythmic accompaniment. It reflects the community life of a people or a locality. The Philippines is an archipelago, so folk dances differ from region to region. They show local customs, traditions, beliefs, and ideals. Some are religious, while others show courtship, war, or festivities.
The pretest gives two examples:
- Maglalatik is a mock-war dance from Laguna. It shows Moros and Christians fighting over prized coconut meat during Spanish rule. Dancers wear coconut shells on their vests, and the music comes from tapping coconut shells with a fast drumbeat.
- Itik-Itik is a mimetic dance, which means it imitates movement in nature.
Physical fitness and its components
Physical fitness is defined as the body’s ability to function efficiently and effectively in work and leisure activities at every stage of life. The module’s answer key sorts the components this way:
| Health-related | Skill-related |
|---|---|
| Flexibility | Agility |
| Body composition | Balance |
| Muscular strength | Power |
| Muscular endurance | Coordination |
| Cardiorespiratory (cardiovascular) endurance | Speed |
Health-related fitness fits into everyday lifetime activities. Skill-related fitness also covers components linked to physical performance.
Health benefits of dancing
The module lists these benefits of dancing:
- better condition of the heart and lungs
- more muscular strength, endurance, and motor fitness
- better aerobic fitness
- better muscle tone and strength
- weight management
- stronger bones and lower risk of osteoporosis
- better coordination, balance, agility, and flexibility
The Philippine Physical Activity Pyramid
The PPAP groups activities by how often to do them:
- Habitually: day-to-day activities such as taking the stairs, walking to school, household chores, and gardening.
- Regularly and often: aerobic exercise (running, swimming, biking, jumping rope) and recreational activities (basketball, ballroom dancing, piko, sipa, badminton).
- Strength and flexibility: stretching, sit and reach, push-ups, curl-ups, and lifting weights.
The chart also suggests being active at least 30 minutes a day, in 10-minute sessions, at least 5 days a week. The module recommends dancing 4 to 6 times a week.
How to use this module
- Learners: Answer the pretest first to check what you already know. Then work through each part in order. Write your answers on a separate sheet, not on the module. Finish with the Assessment and check your work honestly against the answer key.
- Parents: Join your child in Activity 3. Dance together, following an aerobics dance video if you have internet, or let your child lead. Do this 4 to 6 times a week and help fill in the log of dates, participants, start and end times, and remarks.
- Teachers: Collect the dance log and the Activity 4 drawing as evidence that learners are regularly active. The written question “Why is it important to be physically active?” can be used as a short reflection.

Lesson 1: Physical Fitness through Dancing
Physical Fitness is defined as the body’s ability to function efficiently and effectively in work and leisure activities, not only at a set point in time, but at various ages and stages within a person’s life cycle. It is a state of being that consists of at least five health-related and 6 skill-related physical fitness components.
According to canada.humankenitics.com., Health-related fitness activities can be integrated into every-day activities that are often characterized as lifetime activities. In contrast, skill-related physical fitness includes health related components, but it also covers components related to physical performance.
Dancing is one of the activities that can help us fit and healthy. You may enjoy performing hip-hop, ballet, tap, folk dance or any forms of dance. As a Filipino, we must appreciate and treasure our folk dances because our dances define our very rich culture and tradition of our country.
Some of our folk dances are religious in nature. Others may show courtship, war, festivities etc. In addition, Filipino folk dances are said to be unique for we are known as a westernized country in the Southeast Asia blended of eastern and western cultures. Our folk dances are beautiful, vibrant and colorful. The music, dresses and movements show our culture and lifestyle that are influenced from colonization.
