PE 2 RHYTHMIC & DANCES (WEEK 7)

2. OBJECTIVE:
At the end of this lesson you are expected to:
• Discuss phases of the Dance Program

6. The dance's movements imitate the
movement of the tikling bird as it walks
around through tall grass and between tree
branches. People perform the dance using
bamboo poles. The dance is composed of
three basic steps which include singles,
doubles and hops. It looks similar to playing
jump rope, except that the dancers perform
the steps around and between the bamboo
poles, and the dance becomes faster until
someone makes a mistake and the next set
of dancers takes a turn.

7. The best description of the Itik-Itik is
that the steps mimic the way a duck
walks, as well as the way it splashes
water on its back to attract a mate.
According to popular tradition, the dance
was created by a lady named Kanang
who choreographed the steps while
dancing at a baptismal party. The other
guests copied her movements, and
everyone liked the dance so much that it
has been passed along ever since.

8. The Maglalatik is a mock war dance that
depicts a fight over coconut meat, a highly-
prized food. The dance is broken into four
parts: two devoted to the battle and two
devoted to reconciling. The men of the
dance wear coconut shells as part of their
costumes, and they slap them in rhythm
with the music. The Maglalatik is danced in
the religious procession during the fiesta of
Biñan as an offering to San Isidro de
Labrador, the patron saint of farmers.

9. The Binasuan is an entertaining dance
that is usually performed at festive
social occasions like weddings and
birthdays. Dancers carefully balance
three half-filled glasses of rice wine on
their heads and hands as they
gracefully spin and roll on the ground.
The dance originated in Bayambang in
the Pangasinan province, and though
it's usually performed alone, it can also
become a competition between several

10. The Singkil is a dance
traditionally performed by single
women to attract the attention of
potential suitors. Dancers perform
a series of graceful movements as
they step in and out from between
bamboo poles which are
rhythmically clapped together.
Fans and scarves are often used to
enhance the dancers' movements.

11. The Kappa Malong-Malong is a
Muslim-influenced dance. The malong
is a tubular garment, and the dance
essentially shows the many ways it can
be worn. There are men's and women's
versions of the dance since they wear
malongs in different ways.

12. The Cariñosa is a dance made for
flirting! Dancers make a number
of flirtatious movements as they
hide behind fans or
handkerchiefs and peek out at
one another. The essence of the
dance is the courtship between
two sweethearts.

13. Also known as the Dance of the
Doves, the Pantomina mimics the
courtship between doves and is often
also a courtship dance between the
couples that perform it. This dance
is an important part of the Sorsogon
Kasanggayahan Festival held each
October, where it is mainly
performed by the elders of the
community.

15. Foxtrot is a progressive dance.
It’s designed to be very smooth,
it comes with continual flowing
movements. It’s danced to the
big band music, especially
vocals. Foxtrot was created
during the 1910s, and it
reached its peak in the 30s.
However, there are still lots of
people that practice it now
because it’s very distinctive and
fun.

16. The Rumba is considered to be one of the
most beautiful Latin style dances, earning
it’s nickname as “The Dance of Love.” It is
characterized by swaying hips, a still
upper body, and close partner connections.
Although it is traditionally danced to slow
Latin music, it is now common to dance
the Rumba to current, popular ballads.
Because of this, the Rumba is a popular
style choice for a wedding dance and slow
partner dancing.

17. The East Coast Swing is a classic dance
that is entertaining, fun, and versatile. It
is one of the most popular of all of the
swing dances and tends to be the easiest
one to learn. There are many variations
of the East Coast Swing and this dance is

Shag, and Charleston. Although
traditionally performed to big band style
songs, many are swing dancing to
current pop and country tunes.

18. Cha Cha is a dance coming from
Cuba and it has a great rhythm to
it. The dance has many
characteristics, but the primary
one is that you have three
consecutive quick steps as you
dance and move around with your
partner. It’s very creative and one
of the most interesting social
dancing experiences that you will
have.

19. This fun and energetic dance
is the most popular of all the
