DANCING AS A MODERATE TO VIGOROUS

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Have you ever tried watching a dance routine without understanding what is
happening in the performance? Have you completed a whole dance show and could
not even remember a thing or two about it?
When a certain dance performance has poor choreography, it is difficult for it
to be understood and appreciated. When a dance fails to communicate its meaning
or if it does not have a meaning or significance at all, it is hard for the audience to
grasp the content of the performance. How then can a dance become a good
dance?
One also spends a lot of energy to perform a good dance. Dancing is one of
the many physical activities that one does to burn calories. In this module, you will
learn the characteristics of a good dance, how to compute the calories burned per
minute in dancing and the importance of dancing in maintaining our health-related
fitness.

At the end of the module, you should be able to:

1. Identify the characteristics of dance
2. Calculate how much calories you burned per minute in dancing
3. Appreciate the importance of moderate-intensity and vigorous-
intensity dancing for 60 minutes in most days of the week

1
True or False
Direction: Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if it is incorrect. Write
your answers in your activity notebook.

______1. Unity is the interconnected phases of the dance that are coherent and flow
smoothly together.
______2. Variety and Contrast are emphasized movements that give a feeling of
closure and phrases of choreography are repeated.
______3. Continuity and Development mean phrases of that dance that are
organized progressively, making each movement phrase move naturally into the
next.
______4. The climax is where the apex of energy in the dance is reached.
______5. The transition can be a phrase of the dance where choreography is
repeated so that audience can see those movements again and identify its
significance.
______6. Repetition is the link between movements, phrases, and sections of the
dance. It makes the logical progression of the dance flow smoothly.
______7. A motif is an instrument by which ideas and elements are arranged or
combined into a logical sequence.
______8. The beginning of dance may come in a form of shape, a pose, or an
entrance.
______9. A single movement or a short phrase of movement that embodies the style
and intention of the dance are called a motif.
______10. Choreographers and dancers use movement phrasing when working on
dances. Commonly, a single phrase consists of eight counts.

What is a phrase?
When you combine one movement with several others, they form a unit.
When units are pieced together, they make up a section in the choreography and the
sections together form a whole dance. Therefore, “a phrase is the smallest unit of
forms in the whole dance” (Blom a Chaplin, 1988). It can be related to a sentence
in writing compositions. Choreographers and dancers use movement phrasing when
working on dances.

Although Minton (1997) suggests that movement phrases should vary in

length and shape, most of the dances these days use equal length phrases.
Commonly, a single phrase consists of eight counts. It is easier for building routines
and choreographic combinations with an 8-counts phrase.

Task 1: DO THE SIMPLE DANCE PHRASE

Directions: Construct dance phrases/steps that include only movements that

you consider pleasing or beautiful. Choose at least four movements and
combine them in one phrase. You may choose how long or short your phrase
is and find a music that best suits the movements you created. Perform all the
movements with music and video record it. Final video output may be posted
through Facebook or YouTube or sent via email/messenger to your teacher. If
you don’t have data or internet connection, video outputs will be collected with
your module and activity notebook.

Task 2: Estimated Kilocalories Per Minute

Direction: Compute the calories you burned per minute in the following physical
activities. Write your answers in your notebook.

Sitting:
Calories burned = 0.0175 x Your body Weight in Kilograms

Standing:
Calories burned = 0.0210 x Your body Weight in Kilograms

Walking Leisurely:
Calories burned = 0.0525 x Your body Weight in Kilograms

Moderate Intensity Exercise:

Calories burned = 0.1400 x Your body Weight in Kilograms

Vigorous Intensity Exercise:

3
Calories burned = 0.2100 x Your body Weight in Kilograms

Read and answer the questions carefully. Write your answers in your notebook.
1. Were you able to easily construct a simple dance phrase? Why or why not?
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
2. What are the things you considered in developing your simple dance phrase?

According to the World Health Organization, to improve cardiorespiratory and

muscular fitness, bone health, and cardiovascular and metabolic health
biomarkers:

1. Children and youth aged 5–17 should accumulate at least 60 minutes of

moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity daily.
2. Amounts of physical activity greater than 60 minutes provide additional
health benefits.
3. Most of the daily physical activity should be aerobic. Vigorous-intensity
activities should be incorporated, including those that strengthen muscle and
bone, at least 3 times per week.

What makes a good dance?

A good dance displays a significant meaning or conveys a message.

Sometimes, it also portrays life experiences. Dance may be presented abstractly and
symbolically but still, convey emotion and meaning (McGreevy-Nichols et al. 2005).
A good dance lifts and transports the audience from their seats during the
performance.

What are the characteristics of a good dance?

Like any superb tasting dish, dance can only be considered good if it has the right
ingredients. Whether it has a meaning or maybe presented abstractly, it must contain
certain qualities that make the choreography effective. These characteristics include
unity, continuity and development, variety and contrast, transition, repetition, and
climax.
1. Unity. The interconnected phrases of the dance that are coherent and flow
smoothly together. The movements fit together, and each plays an important role
that contributes to the entirety of a dance.
2. Continuity and Development. The phrases of the dance that are progressive,
making each movement phrase move naturally into the next.
3. Variety and Contrast. Making several variations that highlight the facet of the
motif. This provides variety within the development of dance. It introduces new
material, which is noticeably different from anything so far seen in the dance
(Rickett-Young, 1996). Variety and contrast in movement phrases add excitement
and flavor in the dance. Changing the direction, use of energy, timing of a
movement phrase, and avoiding repetition in the exact ways to add variety to the
dance.
4. Transition. This is the link between movements, phrases, and sections of the
dance. It makes the logical progression of the dance flow smoothly. Transitions
may vary from length and complexity. They may be long or short, gradual or
abrupt.
5. Repetition. It emphasizes movements and phrases that are important to the
dance and gives a feeling of closure to a work (Minton, 2007). Some phrases
need to be repeated in choreography so that the audience can see those
movements again and identify their significance.

5
6. Climax. This is where the apex of energy in the dance is reached (Schrader,
1996). The climax may be a fast and enraged blast of energy and action, or it
could fade away to a gentle and quiet exit that marks the end of a particular story
(Rickett-Young, 1996).

According to the Health Fitness Revolution, exercises don’t have to be a chore.

Zumba is an aerobic exercise that doesn’t feel like one but a fun dance party. The
music used in Zumba sessions are fast, upbeat, and contagious, so you can’t help
but keep moving. As the world adapts to the COVID-19 pandemic and partakes in
social distancing, everyone is looking for ways to stay active at home, and Zumba is
a great, mood-boosting option! Several instructors are conducting Zumba classes on
YouTube, Facebook, or Zoom where you can invite your friends to join too. Since
these virtual classes take place in a group setting, Zumba is by far one of the best
ways to get your friends in on your exercise routine and help keep you accountable,
even while at home.

Moderate to Vigorous dancing requires a lot of energy. One way to calculate your
body’s energy expenditure is with metabolic equivalents, also known as METs. One
MET is the energy you spend sitting at rest. An activity with a MET value of four
means you are exerting four times the energy than you would if you are sitting down.

METs Value some of the Physical Activities

Light Moderate Vigorous
<3.0 METs 3.0 – 6.0 METs >6.0 METs

Sitting at a desk: 1.3 Housework (cleaning, sweeping): Walking at very brisk pace (4.5
3.5 mph):6.3

Sitting, playing cards: 1.5 Weight training (lighter weights): Bicycling 12-14 mph (flat terrain): 8
3.5

6
Standing at a desk: 1.8 Golf (walking, pulling clubs): 4.3 Circuit training (minimal rest): 8

Strolling at a slow pace: Brisk walking (3.5-4 mph): 5 Singles tennis: 8

2.0

Washing dishes: 2.2 Weight training (heavier weights): Shoveling, digging ditches: 8.5
5

Hatha yoga: 2.5 Yard work (mowing, moderate Competitive soccer: 10

effort): 5

Fishing (sitting): 2.5 Swimming laps (leisurely pace): 6 Running (7 mph): 11.5

The more MET value a physical activity has, the more calories you burned. Thus,
you can calculate the estimate calories you burned if you know the MET value of the
physical activity you are doing by using the formula:
METs x 3.5 x (your body weight in kilograms) / 200 = calories burned per
minute.
Example: Irish is a 19-year-old student who weighs 60 kilograms. She started
cycling with a speed of 12 mph for 60 minutes thrice a week. Cycling has a MET
value of 8. Determine the calories burned per minute by Irish.

8 x 3.5 x 60 kg / 200 = 8.4 calories per minute

Task 4: How many calories are you burning in dancing?

Direction: Calculate the calories burned per minute by the different types of dance
using the formula below. Write your answers in your notebook.

Formula:
METs x 3.5 x (your body weight in kilograms) / 200 = calories burned per
minute.

1. Traditional Dance – 4.5 METs (Source: Compendium of PA)

2. Ballroom Dance (Competitive) - 11.3 METs (Source: Compendium of PA)

3. Modern and Contemporary Dance (Vigorous) - 6.8 METs (Source: Compendium

of PA)

Task 5: Assess the Dance
Direction: Watch a dance presentation of a group of Filipino dancers. Rate and give
comments, reactions, or suggestions on their dance presentation using the
characteristics of a good dance discussed in this module. Watch the videos using the
links: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow85T4gk8yY or
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0y-T_h3OU6w

Characteristics of a Good Rate Comments, Reactions, or
