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 these
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 19th 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 20th
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 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

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
1. 2.
3. 4.
17. 10
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.
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.
Fundamental Movements:
Term Illustration Description
1. Laterals
The dancers stands with the
head and the spine in
alignment and the
supporting foot turned out
18. 11
2. Spiral
A torso twist that begins in
the pelvis. As the body
turns, each level is
separately articulated all the
way up the spine-pelvis,
lower spine, mid-section,
shoulders , neck, and head
3. Stag Leap
Is a very high jump in a
split, but although both legs
are parallel to the floor, the
front leg is bent from the
knee inward. Most often the
arms are either thrust up in
a V with palms facing out
and down, or one-forward,
one-to-the-side in a ninety-
degree angle and palms
down
4. Stag Turn
The supporting knees is
slightly bent; the other leg is
up in the air and bent
behind the body. The arm
on the supporting side is
thrust straight back with
the palm down. The opposite
arm is thrust cleanly
forward with the palms
down as the dancer turns
around
5. Primitive Squat
Is a hop that lands in a deep
second-position plie- the feet
are turned out heel to heel
and the knees are bent
19. 12
6. Flat Back
A series of moves but the
basic movement makes a
“tabletop” of the body. The
dancer strands in a second
position- feet turned out
heel-to-heel
7. Hinge
The dancer balances on the
balls of the feet, keeps a
straight back and head, and
sends the knees forward as
the torso tilts back and the
arms are held straight out in
front
8. Contraction
The action begins in the
pelvis, and articulates up
the spine as the breath is
exhaled. The dancer aims to
lengthen the space between
each vertebra as the move
progresses to the neck and
the head, which are always
in alignment with the spine
9. Release
This occurs upon inhalation
and also begins in the
pelvis. The move travels up
the spine in the same order
as the contraction, restoring
the torso to a straight
alignment. It typically
counters the contraction
20. 13
10. High Release
An action that tilts the
breastbone up rather than
ending with the spine and
upper body in an upright
neutral position. The
shoulder blades appear to
rest on a bar or shelf. The
head remains aligned with
the spine and the rib cage
remains over the hips. The
lower back is not bent.

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.
21. 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:
Type of Injury Cause Symptom 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.
22. 15
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.
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.
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.
