Dancing and Philippine folk dance
The module describes dancing as a physical activity in which the body moves rhythmically, usually to music. People dance to perform, celebrate, praise, compete, and enjoy life. They also dance to express their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Dancing keeps us healthy physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Folk dances are dances created and performed together by ordinary people. They differ from place to place across towns and regions. The term includes ethnic dances, such as those of cultural communities in the Cordillera, Mindoro, Palawan, Sulu, Pangasinan, and the Tagalog, Bicol, Cebuano, Ilonggo, and Waray regions. Folk dances can also be grouped as:
- Regional dances: dances particular to one locale or area
- National dances: dances performed all over the country
Key ideas: staying safe when you dance
Why safety matters
Safety measures help prevent accidents and injuries. Safety precautions protect people and keep them well. A safe and healthy dancer can reach their full potential, work more effectively, and give better performances.
Warm-up and cool-down
Warm-up and cool-down exercises are done at a lower intensity and slower pace. They improve performance, prevent injuries, and help the body recover after exercise. A warm-up also speeds up your heart rate and breathing, which sends oxygen-rich blood to your muscles.
The lesson’s warm-up activity, “Work it out!”, has learners do these exercises:
- Head bending
- Arm circling
- Arm stretching
- Trunk bending
- Leg stretching
- Jog in place
To cool down, the module suggests:
- Walk briskly or easily for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Do an upper body stretch.
- Get hydrated. Drinking enough water also helps keep the body from overheating.
Rules in folk dancing
The module defines rules as the guidelines or instructions for doing physical activities properly. Following them protects you and everyone around you. Ignoring safety rules can lead to unexpected accidents or injuries.
The first rule in folk dancing is to wear proper clothing:
- Wear comfortable, cool, fresh clothing that lets you move easily.
- Avoid rings, watches, or other jewelry that is sharp or large. It can catch on or scratch other dancers’ hands.
- Performers need a proper costume. The quality and type of material matter. Lightweight materials such as silk move faster and more easily and flow around the body.
How to use this module
The lesson follows the usual parts of a DepEd self-learning module:
- What I Need to Know: the background of the module and the learning objective.
- What I Know: a five-item multiple-choice pretest. Learners write their answers on their activity sheet.
- What’s In: a crossword puzzle. The word bank is exercise, costume, Singkil, hydrate, fatal, and rules.
- What’s New: the warm-up and cool-down activity.
- What is It: the discussion of safety rules in folk dancing.
For learners: Take the pretest first to see what you already know. Write all answers on a separate sheet of paper, not on the module. Read each instruction carefully before doing a task. Answer keys are provided for each activity and test, and the module asks you to use them honestly. Finish with the post-test to check your learning.
For parents: Give your child enough open space for the warm-up and cool-down exercises, and make sure they drink water afterward. If your child has trouble with any task, they should ask their teacher.
For teachers: The module includes Notes to the Teacher with strategies and reminders for facilitators and parents supporting home-based learning.

[illustration: magnifying glass with question mark]
Rules can be described as the guidelines or instructions for performing physical activities properly. It is very important to follow the rules for personal safety and the safety of everybody. Neglecting the participation in safety features could result in unexpected accidents or injuries.
There are certain rules we need to consider particularly in folk dancing:
1. Wear proper clothing.
Dance is about movement. So, wear comfortable, cool and fresh clothing that allows you to move easily. Try not to wear rings, watches or other jewelry that is sharp or large and might catch on or scratch the hands of others.
Considering the dancers/performers, one of the important things is to have a proper costume. The quality and type of materials are important. Lightweight materials such as silk move faster and easier and tend to flow around the body.
