ELEMENTS OF MOVEMENTS

Elements of movements in space

Rhythm - Regular recurrence of a beat. It may be regular or irregular. In basic music, rhythm is
regular and metered (24, 34 or 44). They be slow, moderate or fast. This element of rhythm is
called tempo. Music dictates the speed of movements we create.

Level - This refers to the level of movement. It may be low, when knees are fully or slightly bent
when executing movement; medium, if knees are normally straight when executing
movement; high, if the heels are raised or movements are done while off the floor.

Range - This element refers to the scope of movement execution. It is dictated by the space
provided. If the space is wide then movements shall be wide and big. If space is limited then
movements shall be small and limited too.

Floor Patter/Design- This refers to the designs created on the floor by the bodies of dancers.
They may be geometric or non-geometric formations.

Direction - This element adds to variety of movement. They may be performed forward,
backward, sideward or even upward.

Focus - This is the focal point of dancer’s attention while moving in space

Physical Activity and Physical Fitness

Through performance of festivals comes the reflection of our country’s rich culture and
tradition. Philippines has always been one of the beautiful countries that has full of diverse and
colorful culture and traditions. One way of celebrating its diversity is through festivals. 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. 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 draw
the people’s culture by portraying the people’s ways of life through movements, costumes and
implements inherent to their place of origin.
