PE 2: Fundamentals of Rhythmic Activities

PE 2 l Fundamentals of Rhythmic Activities The Philippines, despite our geographical affinity with other Southeast Asian countries, is in many ways different from the other nations and the difference derives mainly from the degree the Filipinos have adopted and assimilated the culture of the West. These couple characteristics that distinguish the Philippines from her Asian neighbors on one hand from her Latin American sister on the other hand, constitute a comprehensive mosaic of races and culture in various stages of assimilation merged and gives form and substances to his unique culture. As a form of recreation, folk dances help to promote national goodwill through depicting the habits and customs of people all over the world. Our folk dances have a peculiar combination of Spanish and Oriental movements. Francisca Reyes Aquino is considered the mother of Philippine folk dances. It was because of her interest, skill, incessant and tireless devotion to work that we have the books: Philippine National Dances and five volumes of Philippine Folk Dances. Our own native folk dances earned world acclaim when our dance groups toured abroad. The University of the Philippine Folk Song and Dance Troup was the original and primary dance troupe which paved the way for the birth of many dances and troupes. This party of dancers and singers performed near Manila towns and provinces to dance and sing for the people. It was Mrs. Tolentino who later organized the Filipiniana, Barangay, Bayanihan, Ramon Obusan, and much more. These groups have gone outside the world, dancing their way to win our international friends' attention, admiration and appreciation. Folk Dance – It is a cultural art form handed down from one generation to another. It communicates the customs, beliefs and occupations of the people of a region or country. Folk dancing belongs to the people. It emanates from them. (Francisca R. Aquino) The Philippine folk dances form a significant part of the system in physical education. The objectives of teaching Philippine folk dance are as follows:

1. To commit the ideas of cultural development as a vital factor in nation- building.
2. To enhance aesthetically, morally, and physically the cultural values demonstrated in various folk dances.
3. To participate actively in folk dancing for its intellectual, moral and aesthetic values.
4. To disseminate Philippine traditional dances in its pure and authentic form.
