PHILIPPINE FOLKDANCE. What is Dancing.

Share Presentation

Presentation Transcript

What is Dancing Dance is an expression of an intensified sense of life, arising from an inner perception that stimulates both mind and body. It is man’s natural and primitive means of expression. The truest expression of a people is in its dances and its music. “The body never lies”. Dance has been a part of the life of every tribe, society or celebrates through dance. Dance is not only an individual or group experience but also considered as a cultural mirror who wherein the spirit, character and artistry of its time are reflected.

A dance as simple emotional expression when developed into a design with its planned organization of a pattern of movement in rhythm, in space and or ground, with its set of steps, gestures and dynamics becomes a specific dance. And when stylized in a common design becomes a dance form. These dance forms which take centuries to develop, reflect the customs of the society in which they have evolved. • According to William Cobbett, Dancing is at once rational and healthful. It is the natural amusement of young people and such it has been from the days of Moses. Our only quarrel with this statement is the reference to ‘young people’, since the recreation of dancing provides pleasure and enjoyment, with relaxation and an improved social life, to people of all ages and all backgrounds. It is an ideal path to health through gentle exercise in these days of tension, stress and sedentary work and pleasures. Those who forsake the television screen to go dancing reap great mental and physical rewards.

Dancing is based on natural walking steps forward and backwards. If this can be achieved with balance, control and small steps, the actual figures will feel and look natural and rhythmic. So it is best to study and work on the recommended exercises before working on the figures. Dance It is defined as an inner impulse of man to rhythm or music expressing his feeling of joy, moods, sentiments or any human experience. Dance Education This refers to an educational process whereby the central process is the learning and studying the dance as the medium to understand one’s self society and culture.

Classical Dance Dance with standardized rules and restriction. It can be religious related dances or court and royal entertainment form. Classical Ballet A dance of supreme standards learned from an academe. This originated from Italy from the word Bal-lo meaning to dance flourished in the royal court of France. Modern Dance A deviation from the principles of classical ballet developed by Isadora Duncan. She believed in the principles of naturalness and The expression of the human body and soul.

Contemporary Dance This is a combination of ballet and modern dance whereby it uses the varied medium of other dance forms like folks, ethnic, jazz or tribal dance. Popular Dance This is highly recognized as a dance form in television and other dance centers like discotheque houses and social gatherings.

Folk Dance The term implies the traditional flavors and characteristics of the people, their feeling and sentiments. It is also referred sometimes as traditional dance. Ethnic/Tribal Dance A dance particularly found in a group of people living together in locality with a common belief and customs.

Ballroom Dance A popular term for dance performed on ballroom areas or for purposes of recreation and entertainment. Example: Latin American dance (cha-cha, mambo, rumba, jive, samba and paso doble) Standard dance (tango, waltz, foxtrot and quick step)

Tobago holds first Best Village finals

FOR the first time in the history of the Prime Minister's Best Village Trophy Competition, the Tobago final will be held at the Shaw Park Cultural Complex on August 17 and 18.

Some 11 groups are expected to perform in the folk presentations segment of the competition on August 17. Categories include folk medley (13 and under); calypso medley; creative freestyle dance; local interpretative dance; folk song solo, among others. The show runs from 11 am-2 pm.

The Tobago Drama Guild is the only finalist in the folk theatre presentation on August 18 at 6 pm.

Jesse Taylor, cultural officer II, THA Division of Tourism, Culture, Antiquities and Transportation, said the two-day event marks an historic moment for Tobago.

“It is the first opportunity that Tobago will have over the 61 years of the incarnation of the Prime Minister’s Best Village Trophy Competition to host the final, which is in direct alignment with the national competition,” he told Newsday.

“This is about bringing all of the talents of Tobago in a Tobago space and this is unprecedented.”

Apart from creating opportunities for entrepreneurship, Taylor said the show will also promote a greater appreciation for the performing arts outside of the island.

Taylor said the use of the Shaw Park Cultural Complex, which he regards as a state-of-the-art facility, also adds stature to the competition.

He believes the facility is on par with the National Academy of the Performing Arts (NAPA) in Port of Spain and the Southern Academy of the Performing Arts (SAPA), San Fernando, both of which have featured the creme de la creme in local culture.

He said the artistes in the final were already “poised and ready” to display their talents at the upcoming Tobago Blue Food Festival and other cultural events during the cruise ship season.

“The performers will be more equipped to treat with our tourism prospects and thrust.”

Jared Prima, interim CEO, Tobago Performing Arts Company, said he is glad to see that the island getting its chance to compete.

“While these circumstances are unique, this festival represents one of the few opportunities for the tenets of inclusion and nationalism to be practised through performance and the arts, the basis of the festival in the first place,” he said.

Prima said he hopes the “appropriate investment” is given to the next iteration of the festival.

“I look forward to a Best Village final involving both Trinidad and Tobago.”

Culture secretary Tashia Burris said the hosting of a Tobago final of the Best Village competition in Tobago “signals that our creative talents are blossoming on the island.”

She added, “With a record number of participants in the preliminaries and an equally impressive number of those who have qualified for the final, the final is testament to the dedication and hard work of our cultural and community groups, the department of culture and entities such as the Tobago Performing Arts Company.”

Burris said the island continues to create avenues for talented Tobagonians to participate fully in all aspects of its culture and heritage.

“They can become standard bearers for excellence in the fields of drama, dance and music.”

Saying she is excited to see the groups on display, Burris urged Tobagonians to come out and show their support for the performers.
