    Objectives

    • To identify different types of dance


    • To know the difference between the dance before and the dance
    today
    Forms & Types
    • Balitaw
    • Bodabil
    • Escotis/ Chotis/ Schottische
    • Folk
    • Ritual Dancing
    • Ballet
    • Modern
    Balitaw
    • An extemporaneous exchange of love verses between a man and a
    woman. It may last for hours, ending with the woman accepting or rejecting her
    suitor
    • The balitaw is found mainly in the Tagalogand Visayan regions.
    • The dancers may be costumed in balintawak or patadyong (barrel skirt) or in
    contemporary everyday clothes.
    • Its accompaniment could be provided by the subing (bamboo flute), castanets,
    coconut guitar, harp, the five-stringed guitar, or a combination of the three.
    • The typical Visayan balitaw speaks of all domestic phases of life, from love and
    courtship, marriage and separation, gambling and employment, child rearing,
    envious neighbors, to the dignity of labor.
    Bodabil
    • Bodabil dancing or dancing in the variety show called bodabil consisted mainly of
    popular and theatrical dances from the United States, but later included
    Philippine folk dances and choreographies among its production numbers.
    • Bodabil comes from the French “voix de ville” (street songs), or “chansons de
    vaux de vire” (topical or satirical drinking songs from Normandy), the latter
    supposedly created by a 15th-century literary society led by Oliver Bosselin.
    • During the American colonial period from 1901 to 1946, vaudeville invaded the
    Philippines, and ultimately ousted the local musical or sarswela.
    • Lou Borromeo
    • Sunday Reantaso
    • Bodabil or stage show began to decline in the 1950s, when theaters
    like the Inday and Art featured burlesque dancing in haba-haba
    shows, an unsavory term for bodabil.
    Escotis/Chotis/Schottische
    • A Filipino term for “Scottish,” a dance whose running
    steps and hops suggest that it may truly have been Scottish in origin.
    • In the Philippines, the dance and step combination come in varying step patterns.
    • Chotis is a dance in the Maria Clara Suite.
    • It was one of the ballroom dances introduced by early European settlers.
    • This dance, from Camarines Sur, has been adapted by the Bicolano people and is
    characterized by a brush-step-hop movement.
    • The most noted escotis in the Philippines is done at all social gatherings in the
    barrios of Tinpas, Pasitan in Panay, and the mountainous areas of Capiz
    • During house warmings, the hopping, jumping, and stamping movements of the
    dance test the structure’s strength and durability.
    • The escotis has many variants in the Visayas. One version from Kalibo, Aklan, is a
    three-figure dance. Another is a six-figure dance, but without any escotis step in
    itsfigures. Yet another from Roxas City is a five-figure dance, performed by four
    couples in various floor patterns.
    • This filipinized version of the Chotis features young ladies as they flirtatiously
    sway hats and fans to a waltz tempo.
    Folk
    • Folk dance refers to the dances created and performed collectively by the
    ordinary people.
    • Folk dances may also be divided into the “regional,” which refers to dances
    particular to one locale or area; and the “national,” which refers to those
    performed all over the country.
    • Philippine folk dances other than religious, ceremonial, and a few social are
    performed with attention to detail and after meticulous rehearsals.
    Ballet
    • A theatrical dance presentation with a choreographic or dramatic plot that
    integrates music, dancing, and stage designs (sets, costumes, and lighting).
    • Modern
    • Opera
    • Folkloric
