FOOD FUELS FOR ENERGY

[Link] (CHO) –
Preferred source of fuel during
exercise(glycogen).
[Link] – concentrated fuel used during
rest and prolonged sub maximal
exercise
3. Protein – used for growth and repair
(negligible use during exercise
ENERGY- is the ability or capacity to
do work and is measured in
calories or joules.

THREE ENERGY SYSTEM:

[Link] or Adenosine Triphosphate
[Link] System
[Link] System
2. Glycolytic System- the
breakdown (lysis) of glucose and
consists of a series of chemical
reactions that are controlled by
enzymes.
3. Oxidative System- also known as
KREBS CYCLE and the citric acid
cycle. In this system,
carbohydrates and fats are the
primary energy sources converted
into ATP and this process takes
place in the mitochondria of the
cell.
 AEROBIC VS ANAEROBIC

ELEMENTS OF DANCE
SPACE
• this is the area the performers occupy and
where they move. It can be divided into four
different aspects, also known as spatial elements.
[Link]- dance movements can travel in any direction.
[Link]- movements can be varied by doing larger or
smaller actions.
[Link]- movements can be done in a high, medium, or
low level.
[Link]- performers may change their focus by looking at
different directions.
TIMING
Movements in timing may be
executed in varying tempo (speed).
Performers move with the tempo of an
underlying sound, known as beat or
pulse.
DANCE ENERGIES
The movements here propelled
by energy or force. A force can either
initiate or stop an action.
Six qualities of dance energies
[Link]- movements are done
smoothly, continuously, and with flow
and control. It does not have a clear
beginning and ending.
b. Percussive- movements are explosive or
sharp in contract with sustained movements.
They have clear beginning and ending.
c. Vibratory- movements consist of trembling
or shaking.
d. Swinging- movements trace a curved line
or an arc in space.
e. Suspended- movements are perched in space
or hanging on air.
f. Collapsing- movements are released in tension
and gradually or abruptly giving in to gravity,
letting the body descend to the floor.
BODILY SHAPES
refers to how the entire body is
molded in space or the configuration
of body parts.
[Link]- balanced shape; movements
are practically identical or similar on both
sides.
[Link]- unbalanced shape;
movements of two sides of the body do not
match or completely different from each
other.
GROUP SHAPES
a group of dancers perform
movements in different group shapes.
They are arranged in ways that are
wide, narrow, rounded, angular,
symmetrical, or asymmetrical and are
viewed together as a total picture or
arrangement within a picture frame
(Minton, 2007)
CHAPTER 3
DANCE APPRECIATION
AND COMPOSITION
What makes a good dance?
•A good dance displays a significant
meaning or conveys a message. It also
portrays life experiences.
•It has a beginning, middle, and
end/conclusion.
•There must be a sense of direction.
•A good dance must have a shape or
form for its choreography to be
effective.
What is form?
•A form is the instrument by which ideas and
elements are arranged or combined into a logical
sequence which results in unity and consistency,
and by means of which the content or idea can be
expressed and communicated.
•The form should progress through time from the
beginning to the end of the
choreography(Minton,2007).Each section is
composed of several units that are smoothly
connected to each other. These small units are
called phrases.
What is a phrase?
when you combine one movement
with several others, they form a unit.
When units are pieced together, thet
make up a section in the choreography
and the sections together form a whole
dance.
“a Phrase is the smallest unit of form in
the whole dance” (Blom and
Chaplin,1988).
What is a motif?
A good dance contains a theme or a
motif to be able to convey its meaning or
intention to the audience.
A single movement or a short phrase of
movement that embodies the style and
intention of the dance is called a Motif.
