10. DANCE AND ITS ELEMENTS

11. Interpretative Dance

12.  Dances that are meant to be
interpreted for performances and
staging.
 Dance literatures and signature
basic steps are already inherent to
these dances which serve as
identifying steps to the dance.

13.  Such dances include folk dance,
ballroom dance, and ballet.

14. Creative Dance

15.  Dances that are created out of
two approaches, the elemental
approach and creative approach.
 These dances are highly
improvisational in nature
considering the different
elements necessary in the
creation of dance.

16.  Dances that fall under this
classification include modern-
contemporary dance, jazz,
 pop and hip-hop (b-boying).

17. Elemental Approach in the
Creation of Dance

18. 1. SPACE

19. Floor Pattern

20.  Patterns created by the body as
it moves through space
examples of which include lines,
letters, shapes or polygons, and
other non-geometric patterns.

21. Direction

22.  The course or way in which
movement is directed with
reference to the frontal plane of
the body.
 Examples include forward,
backward, sideward, diagonally
sideward and upward.

23. . Focus

24.  Point of attention by either the
performer or the audience.
 Personal focus is the point of
attention by the performer while
performing, while general focus
is the point of attention that the
performer draws the audience to

25.  It may be a personal focus or
general focus.

26. Dimension

27.  - How performers appear with
reference to the audience’s view.
 The nearer the performer, the
bigger he would appear; the farther
the performer, the smaller he would
appear.
 Dimension has something to do
with perspective

28. Balance

29.  It may be static or dynamic in
nature. Static balance is balance
 at rest, while dynamic balance is
balance in motion

30. Levels

31.  They are classified as low,
middle and high with the lowest
 level the basis of middle and
high levels.
Reminder: you are advised to do
level 1 or low level lifting ONLY.

32. Mass and Volume

33.  This is dictated by the number of
bodies performing through
space.
 There are dances or parts of the
dance performance that require
more dancers while some
require less or few.

34. Contours and Shapes

35. - Shapes and forms created by
the body or
bodies as they move through
space.

36. 2. TIME

37.  Dance is both a space and time
art because it makes use of
space and spends time as
movements are executed.
 Once time passes and
movements are executed, it may
or may not be the same when
done again.

38.  That’s why live performances of
dances are preferred to maximize
its artistic and aesthetic values,
which are put on full display when
performed live.
 Time in dance dictates and
determines its speed or length, its
mood, and the energy required in
its performance.

39.  Time in dance is represented by
music specifically, and is
predominantly influenced by
rhythm, tempo, dynamics and
melody. Rhythm guides the
movement count, tempo dictates
the speed of movement, and
dynamics and melody speak of the
mood of movement.

40. 3. ENERGY

41.  Pertains to the amount of effort
exerted in the performance of dance
or dance movements and
combinations.
 Energy in dance makes the

same movement, but differ in
the manner of execution and
level of energy exerted.
