Directions: Each group must come up with a short celebratory dance using at least three different movements that best represent your theme. When the music starts, your team will perform in a relay style—one person starts, and others gradually join in, creating a parade-like effect. Focus on synchronization, energy, and expression to make your dance feel lively and festiv e.
FESTIVAL DANCES Mr. K yle Angelo R. Tolentino MAPEH 9
Why Festival? Festival dances are cultural dances performed to the strong beats of percussion instruments by a community of people sharing the same culture usually done in honor of a Patron Saint or in thanksgiving of a bountiful harvest.
Why Festival? Festival dances may be religious or secular in nature. But the best thing about festivals is that they add to the merry-making and festivities where they are celebrated, the reason why they are called festival dances after all
Festival dances Festivals have been a consistent crowd-producing activity leading to upliftment of a community’s economy due to its tourism and entertainment value. Basically, festivals are a form of entertainment that attracts foreign and domestic tourists to visit a place eventually leading to the elevation of the Filipino’s quality of life.

BASIC MOVEMENTS OF FESTIVAL DANCE
These are movements that allow you to move from one point in space to another. It is canned from two words, “locos” which means place and “motor” which means movement. Locomotor Movements
STEP This is the basis of all locomotor movements. It prepares you to move in any direction you wish to go. It is defined as transfer of weight from one foot to the other.
WALK Series of steps executed by both of your feet alternately in any direction. In executing a walk, observe that there’s this moment when both feet are in contact with the ground while one foot supports the weight and transfers it to the other.
RUN Series of walks executed quickly in any direction wherein only one foot stays on the ground while the other is off the ground.
JUMP This movement is simply described by having both feet lose its contact with the ground.
There five ways to do it: Take off from one foot and land on the same; Take off from one foot and land on the other; Take off from one foot and land on both feet; Take off from both feet and land on one foot; and Take off from both feet and land on both.
These are movements that are performed in one point in space without transferring to another point. They don’t allow you to move from one place to the other. NON- Locomotor Movements
FLEXION This movement is simply described by having both feet lose its contact with the ground.
EXTENSION This is the opposite of flexion. You are extending if you are increasing the angle of a joint. Stretching is another word for extension.
CONTRACTION A muscle movement done when it shortens, narrows and tightens using sufficient amount of energy in the execution.
RELEASE A muscle movement opposite to contraction done when it let goes or let looses of being held into a shortening movement
COLLAPSE RECOVER The opposite of collapse. This is to regain the energy exerted into a body segment. To deliberately drop the exertion of energy into a body segment.
ROTATION A muscle movement opposite to contraction done when it let goes or let looses of being held into a shortening movement
TWIST To move a body segment from an axis halfway front or back or quarter to the right or left as in the twisting of the neck allowing the head to face right or left and the like.
TURN To move in a turning movement with a base of support, usually a pointed foot, the other raised, while equilibrium is maintained until the completion of the turn.
