I. Concept:
Dance is a health-promoting physical activity which many people worldwide incorporate into their lifestyles today.
This physical activity appeals to some who may not typically be active and therefore may be another alternative
of exercise. Dance for health has become an important factor in the prevention, treatment and management in
several health circumstances. It can benefit both physical and mental health and subsidizes socia
communication. Dance is an art which is learned in and shared between many cultures. Types of dance can
entail body movements, expression and collaboration. The correlation between dance and health has been
the subject of a number of research studies that show dance to be a largely healthy exercise. However, there
are a number of health risks that require attention. (Wikipedia)

The word “Dance” comes from an Old German word Danson which means “to stretch”. All dancing is made up
of stretching and relaxing. Dance is defined...
● as an art form that generally refers to movement of the body, usually rhythmic and music, used as
a form of expression, social interaction or presented in a spiritual or performance setting.
● as an art that uses non- verbal movement in an ordinary way to create a form, order, or statement
● as movement that transcends function and becomes communication

Each dance element contains movement concepts that make it specific and distinctive. In order to create an
expressive and meaningful dance, the dance artist (or choreographer) has to make decisions about the look,
flow and timing of the movements, drawing on the broad range of visual designs, qualities of emotion, and
rhythm that are possible in movement. These elements help a dance artist discover movements which are
expressive and unique. These five areas known as

You may think you are too young, you are not in good shape, or you are too busy to exercise, No more excuses!
Now is the right time for you to achieve lifelong fitness and enjoy while you are. Live life to the fullest!

B. Essay: Answer the question below briefly.

Why should I consider lifelong fitness?
- I think that maintaining my health helps me avoid health issues and gives my aging body new life. Making
healthy decisions and taking an active role in your life can ensure your longevity and bring you happiness and
satisfaction. The demands of our overall well-being, especially those related to our mental health, which has
become difficult in the modern era, will be met by us. It is crucial to never forget that fitness includes all
aspects of complete welfare, including mental, spiritual, social, and physical health. All things considered,
being lifetime fit means putting our health first and taking care of it since without it, we cannot survive in this
world and there will always be barriers and limitations preventing us from doing the things we want to
accomplish.

B. Activity 2 . Dance Analysis - Contemporary Dance (Visit the web site:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Slq6yaDGWHI)

Analyze the indicated dance composition according to the elements of dance and be specific in identifying the
supporting ideas and evidence in each element. Each element should contain at least two to three sentences
only. Write legibly and avoid erasures.

A. What elements of the dance made the biggestimpression on you?

Physical Education and Health 12A – Module 1 Page 2 of 5

 - The dance itself was the aspect of the performance that most affected me. Notable for its remarkable and
complex choreography, it added another level of artistic complexity. The audience was left with a lasting
impression by the presentation's powerful and inspirational depiction of the intended message. Finally, the
performers' precise and delicate movements, which are reminiscent of breakable glass, are what make the
actions so captivating. The participants displayed a coordinated gait that gave the impression that time had
stopped as they moved elegantly in rhythm to the music. They expressed themselves through their body
language and gestures.

B. How were the dancers’ bodies used in this dance?

- The dancers had an exceptional degree of coordination, executing their motions with such unity that they
appeared to work as a single unit. Considering how well each person completed their allocated job, there isn't a
particularly memorable performance or event. Their actions are precisely coordinated, which is an example of
their flawless orchestration. The audience responded emotionally to the performance, which successfully
enlivened the text.

C. How did the musical accompaniment affect the way the dancers moved?

- The synchronized and elegant movements of the dancers, which perfectly complemented the song's beat,
provided a striking example of the music's significant impact on the performers' performance. Giving
the freedom to carry out each motion with grace by the dancers.

d. Using the elements of dance, can you describe some of the movements in the dance, especially the ones that
made a big impression on you?

- Despite being a leisurely dance, it is well-arranged as they move. their every move is comforting and conveys
something to the audience. Every action has significance and meaning in my eyes, thus I feel lighthearted.

 III. Assessment - Which of the following is true? One should be fit first before you dance or dance in
order to become fit? Why? (Your answer should contain at least two to three sentences only. Write legibly
and avoid erasures.)
- As the proverb "fit first, before you dance" implies, it is imperative, in my opinion, to prioritize physical
fitness before engaging in any type of physical exercise. It makes it possible to live longer and move more
physically. Those with this feature are more prone to fatigue and weariness than those who are inherently unfit.
In addition to being enjoyable and a means of self-expression, dancing helps to maintain and improve one's
health and fitness without the need for rigorous training or regular gym attendance.

IV. Reflection: (Note: Deduction of one point per day for late submission, and a fair grade for copied work.)
How important is choreography in dancing?

- Choreography is a tool used by dancers to express themselves via movement. Dancing becomes a resonant
form of communication when structure and ingenuity are harmoniously combined, as if their bodies were
language itself. While spontaneous or on-the-spot dancing is undoubtedly possible, nothing compares to a
performance that is the result of continuous skill development and careful planning. It encapsulates everything
that is real in life. It serves as an example of how having a strategy is essential to getting the desired outcomes.
There's very little chance you'll be able to do it if we make a hasty decision.

 PAR-Q
Before engaging in any exercise program, one must first complete the Physical Activity Readiness
Questionnaire or PAR-Q. This helps to determine how safe it is for a person to undergo physical activities. It
helps lower the risk of any untoward incidents caused by medical conditions from occurring.
Directions: Read each question carefully and answer each one with honesty
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY READINESS QUESTIONNAIRE (PAR-Q)
Derived from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM)

Questions YES NO

1. Has your doctor ever said that you have a heart condition and that
you should only do physical activities recommended by a doctor? /
2. Do you feel pain in your chest when you perform a physical activity?
/
3. In the past month, have you had chest pain when you were not doing
any physical activity? /
4. Do you lose your balance because of dizziness or loss of
consciousness? /
5. Do you have a bone or joint problem that could be worsened by any
physical activity? /
6. Is your doctor currently prescribing any medication for your blood
pressure or heart condition? /
7. Do you know other reason/s why you should not engage in any
physical activity? /
Please indicate :

Note: If you have answered “YES “ to one or more of the above

questions, consult your doctor immediately. Seek advice from your
doctor on what type of activity is suitable for your condition.

If you answered NO honestly to all PAR-Q questions, you can be

reasonably sure that you can;
● Start becoming much more active - begin slowly and build up
gradually. This is the safest and easiest way to go.
● take part in a fitness appraisal - this is an excellent way to
determine your basic fitness so that you can plan the best way
for you to live actively. It is also recommended that you have
blood pressure evaluated. If your reading is over 144/94 , talk
with your doctor before you start becoming much more
physically active.

I have read, understood and completed this questionnaire. Any questions I had were
answered to my full satisfaction.
