Introduction

Welcome to Ped 28 students! Do you believe that everybody can be a dancer? Dancing requires a man to
move. Dance is a performing art. It is described in many ways. It is when people move to a musical
rhythm. In this lesson we will discover where dance originated and how it was created. As a student it
will help you to engage in different physical movements by the use of dancing. You will learn discipline
and dedication to yourself. It can help you express your emotions and relieve stress; it can help you
work around with your physical wellness.

B. MAIN LESSON
Activity 2: Context and Notes
Direction: Read and understand carefully the discussion below. Use your pens or highlighters to take down notes.
Dance, the movement of the body in a rhythmic way, usually to music and within a given space, for the purpose of
expressing an idea or emotion, releasing energy, or simply taking delight in the movement itself.

Dance is a powerful impulse, but the art of dance is that impulse channeled by skillful performers into something that
becomes intensely expressive and that may delight spectators who feel no wish to dance themselves. These two
concepts of the art of dance—dance as a powerful impulse and dance as a skillfully choreographed art practiced largely
by a professional few—are the two most important connecting ideas running through any consideration of the subject.
In dance, the connection between the two concepts is stronger than in some other arts, and neither can exist without
the other.

The A esthetics of dance

Basic motives: self-expression and physical release

One of the most basic motives of dance is the expression and communication of emotion. People—and even certain animals—

often dance as a way of releasing powerful feelings, such as sudden accesses of high spirits, joy, impatience, or anger. These

motive forces can be seen not only in the spontaneous skipping, stamping, and jumping movements often performed in moments of

intense emotion, but also in the more formalized movements of “set” dances, such as tribal war dances or festive folk dances. Here

the dance helps to generate emotions as well as release them.

People also dance for the pleasure of experiencing the body and the surrounding environment in new and special ways. Dance
often involves movement being taken to an extreme, with, for example, the arms being flung or stretched out, the head lifted back,
and the body arched or twisted. Also, it often involves a special effort or stylization, such as high kicks, leaps, or measured walks.
Dance movements tend to be organized into a spatial or rhythmic pattern, tracing lines or circles on the ground, following a certain
order of steps, or conforming to a pattern of regular accents or stresses.

Problems in defining dance

Self-expression and physical release may thus be seen as the two basic motives for dance. Dance itself, however, takes a

wide variety of forms, from simple spontaneous activity to formalized art or from a social gathering where everyone

participates in a theatrical event with dancers performing before an audience.

Defining according to function

Within this broad spectrum of forms, dance fulfills a number of very different functions, including the religious, the military, and

the social. Nearly all cultures have had, or still possess, dances that play an important part in religiousDate:
Schedule: ritual. There are dances in

which the performers and even the spectators work themselves into a trance in order to transcend their ordinary selves and receive

the powers of the gods or, as in the case of Indian temple dancers, in which the performers enact the stories of the gods as a way of

worshiping them. In some early Christian communities, processions or formal dance patterns formed part of the prayer service.

What is the purpose of dance?

Dance, the movement of the body in a rhythmic way, usually to music and within a given space, for the
purpose of expressing an idea of emotion, releasing energy, or simply taking delight in the movement itself.

_______________4. Energy intake should mainly occur from complex carbohydrates such as whole-grain
products, fruit, and vegetables, especially during the day.

_______________5. “No pain no gain”

_______________6. High skill movement does require a certain amount of repetition for the skill to be
“embedded” within the body but the quality of training is much more important than the quantity of the
training.

Introduction

Welcome to Lesson 2 students! In this lesson we will learn about the different positions and terms of dance .
Describing and mastering proper dance positions is an important part of dance technique. These dance
positions of a single dancer may be further detailed into body, head, arm, hand, leg, and foot positions; also,
these positions in a dance couple can additionally take into account connection, the relative orientation of
partners, and directions of movement (or of movement intention).

B. MAIN LESSON
Activity 2: Performance Task
Direction: Read and understand carefully the discussion below. Practice performing the dance positions witten in
the discussion. Wear proper uniform attire.

FIVE BASIC FOOT STEPS

1. First position: This is the main ballet position, and for most beginners, it is the basic position to start from. In this
standing position, the dancer’s feet remain connected at the heels, with the toes turned out at a 90-degree angle,
or greater. In this position, the entire sole of the dancer’s foot and toes are in contact with the floor. The ideal
turn-out angle is 180 degrees, but beginners are advised to work up to that position gradually and comfortably.

2. Second position: Starting with the foot placement for first position, the dancer slides one foot away
from the other to create a space of roughly one and a half feet between both feet. The feet remain
turned out at a 90-degree angle, or greater. The ideal turn-out is 180 degrees, "in straight line",
with the feet separated by one foot.
3. Third position: Starting with the foot placement for first position, the dancer slides one foot slightly
forward so that the back of the heel of one foot is touching the arch of the other foot. In this
position, the entire sole of the dancer’s front and back foot and toes are in contact with the floor.
4. Fourth position: Starting with the foot placement for third position, the dancer slides the front foot
directly forward, with a distance of roughly a foot between the front and back feet. In this position,
the entire sole of the dancer’s front and back foot and toes are in contact with the floor.
5. Fifth position: Starting with the foot placement for fourth position, the dancer will slide the front foot

Section: position,Schedule:
both feet are parallel and the entire sole of the dancer’s front and Date:
back foot and toes are
in contact with the floor.
FIVE BASIC ARM POSITION
1. First position: the dancer stands as if holding a large, round object in front of the body, with a
distance of one foot between their two hands.
2. Second position: the dancer extends both arms perpendicularly from the body in a T-shaped
position, with the elbows facing back and the fingers curved slightly.
3. Third position: the dancer extends one arm perpendicularly from the body, as is done in second
position, and extends the other arm outwards in front of the body, as is done in first position.
4. Fourth position: the dancer extends one arm perpendicularly from the body, as is done in second
position, and raises the other arm upwards in the air, parallel to the head and neck, with hand and
fingers curved slightly.
5. Fifth position: the dancer extends both arms overhead, parallel to the head and neck, creating an
oval shape with their two curved arms.
BODY POSITION
6. Arabesque: a position of the body in which a dancer stands on one leg with the other leg raised behind the body,
extended backward in a straight line.

7. Attitude: a position of the body which is a variation of the arabesque. In this position, a dancer's extended
leg is raised behind the body, bent at the knee at a 90-degree angle.
8. Assemble: a jump in which a dancer leaves the ground on one leg, and lands on the ground on two legs.
The dancer's legs come together at the same time and return to fifth position.
9. Grand jeté: a large jump or leap from one foot to the other. In this movement, the raised foot moves
forward and then is thrown back as the jump is made, with the landing on the raised foot.
10. Plié: a bending of the knee or knees.
11. Turnout: a body position in which the dancer turns his or her feet and legs out from the hip joints. /
12. Pirouette: a complete, 360-degree spin or turn of the body on one foot, on point or half-point.

Two-Hand Hold Regardless of dancers'

gender, ballroom couples
have a designated
dominant/leading and
subordinate/following partner.
Traditionally, a male partner
leads and a female partner
follows.
In the two-hand hold position,
both hands are held. Partners
should stand apart, facing one
another. The male partner
holds the female partner's
hands, while the female
partner places her hands in
the male partner's grasp.

Closed
Section: PositionSchedule: The closed Date:
position is another
position common in ballroom
dancing. In this position, the
partners stand close enough to
each other so that their bodies
touch, but slightly off to the left.
This enables each dancer's right
foot to step between their
partner's feet.
In the closed position, the male
partner rests his right hand on
the female partner's back while
holding her right hand with his
left hand. The female partner
places her left hand on the male
partner's upper arm.

Outside Right Position The outside right position (or

right parallel) is similar to the
basic closed position, with the
exception of the placement of
the feet.
In the outside right position,
the female partner's feet
should be to the right of the
male partner's.

to the basic closed position.
Again, the only difference is
the placement of the feet.

feet.

Promenade Position In the promenade position, both

partners face the same direction
instead of facing one another.
Their bodies form a sort of "V"
shape.
The promenade is a forward movement.
Since the dancers are facing in the same
direction, both move forward at the same
time.

Fallaway Position The fallaway position is

similar to the promenade
position, except the dancers
move backward instead of
forward. In the fallaway
position, both partners take
small steps backward at the
same time.

In the shadow position, partners
"shadow" each other's moves.
Working from either a closed
position (touching), semi-closed
(slightly apart) or totally apart,
partners should face the same
direction, with one partner either
in front of the other or slightly to
their left or right.
Partners should step with the
same foot in the same direction.
Their movements should act as a
shadow to each other, as the
name of the position suggests.

Skater's Position In the skater's position,

partners join hands in front
of their bodies. The right
hands are joined below and
left hands are joined above.

Introduction

(1) Greeting students! This is the continuation of our lesson Basic Ballroom Dance Position. In this
lesson you need to cooperate with your partner to be able to perform the dance position. Dancing is
so much more than just grooving on the dance floor to your favorite tunes. In fact, you’ll be surprised
how many benefits are associated with dancing. Not only does it train your brain and your body’s
motor skills but it also is an excellent exercise for your entire body.

“Hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, they danced by the light of the moon.”

two cases, the next step would be an outside partner.

Chair A semi-closed position in which the dancers have lunged forward onto the trail feet with
the trail knees bent. Some see the body shape as that of a straight-backed chair, with
the bent trail legs representing the front legs and seat of the chair, the trailing lead legs
the back legs of the chair, and the dancers' torsos representing the back of the chair.

Closed

Standard dance position, facing partner, slightly offset to the left, lower
bodies together, upper bodies apart, both looking left. The man’s right hand is just
below her left shoulder blade and her left hand is on his upper right arm. His left hand is
out to his left and about at shoulder height and is holding her right hand.

Contrary Body A position in which your step crosses in front or behind the body without body turn.

Lunge, Promenade Sway, Throwaway Oversway, or the like; also High Line and Attitude
Line above. "Extending" a picture figure has the man releasing the woman to move
gradually farther into the figure, while both perhaps slowly and smoothly stretch their
bodies and extend the free arms. This "developing of the picture" can continue for a full
measure, two, or even longer at the end of a dance.

Reverse Fallaway or A step backward in Reverse Semi-closed Position (see immediately below).
Counter Fallaway
The term Reverse Fallaway is also used to designate a three-step figure in the smooth
rhythms that turns left-face to Semi-closed position. In essence, it is used as a
shorthand for "Reverse Turn to Fallaway Position."

Reverse Semi-Closed
or Counter Promenade

From Closed Position, the man turns 1/8 right face, and the woman turns
1/8 left face so that his left hip is in contact with her right hip. Compare to Semi-Closed
Position (see below), where his right hip and her left are together. However, do not shift
laterally. The woman should still be on the man's right side. His right hand remains on
her back, although this hold will have to be loosened a little. Lead hands remain joined
up and to the side.

Reverse Varsovienne
Section: Schedule: Date:

This is a Varsovienne (see below) in which the man and woman occupy
each other's spot. The partners face the same direction, the woman behind the man and
to his left. She holds his left hand in her left slightly in front of her left shoulder. Her
right arm passes behind his shoulders, and her right hand holds his right, again to the
side and above his shoulder, or if he is too tall for this to be comfortable, at his waist.

Semi-Closed or
Promenade

A position lying between Open and Closed. In Closed Position, if the man
turns his hips to the right and gives a little more right side stretch, the lady will look to her
right. This is called opening the lady's head. Her body will open a little, too. It will turn a
bit to the right. Now, your two bodies form a slight "V." Your arm positions have not
changed, and the man's right and the lady's left hips are still in contact. The lady is still a
bit to the man's right, but the man's left and the lady's right sides are separated slightly,
and both are looking down the line of dance. When the man steps forward, the lady will
step forward, too. Note that the man does not turn to SCP; he turns the lady to SCP, and
it is mostly the man's right side that is in control of the lady's head.

Shadow Partners facing the same direction, one (usually the man) to the left and a little behind
the other. A common mistake is to get too far to the side and maybe almost even with
each other—hip-to-hip. Actually, the woman should be located where she would be in a
closed position, on his right hip, but she is turned around. Hand positions are not
specified in shadow, but often left hands are joined and the man's right hand is
comfortably on her back or at her waist above her right hip. This position might more
specifically be called Woman’s Shadow. The man is "shadowing" the woman.

In Left Shadow, she is in front and to the left.

In Man’s Shadow, he is in front, and she is to the left and a bit behind. In Man’s Left
Shadow or Reverse Shadow, he is in front and to the left.

Side-by-Side Partners are beside each other and usually facing the same direction, for instance, an
open or left open position with no hands joined.

Sidecar

A closed position with the man’s right side leading. When the man steps
forward with his left foot, he steps outside his partner's feet. Note that, as with the banjo
diagram above, this sidecar diagram is overdone. Their bodies should not be offset but
should be angled and in a closed position.

Skaters Partners facing the same direction, the man to the left and a little behind the woman, left
hands joined and held in front of her and a little higher than her shoulder, right hands
joined at woman's right hip. Alternatively, the man may simply extend his right arm
behind her back, and she may place her hand at her waist or extend it to the side. In
Skirt Skaters, the woman holds her skirt flared out with her right hand. The man's right
hand is on her right hip. A kind of Shadow.

partner at waist level, and with left arms curved up and inward, with left hands above the
head (like a hat). There may be light contact with the partner's left hand (producing a
single sombrero for both heads?) Left Sombrero has left hips adjacent and right arms
forming the hat.

Star

A facing position but offset, right hip to right hip, woman a little in front of
man, right hands joined at shoulder level or above, right elbows may be touching. In a
Left-Hand Star, each would turn 1/2 and join left hands. The woman would be on the
man's left side and a little in front of him.

She holds his left hand in her left slightly in front of her left shoulder. Her right arm
passes behind his shoulders, and her right hand holds his right, again to the side and

Left Varsovienne, the man is in front but to the left. She reaches behind him to join left-
left hands held high. Left Varsovienne puts the woman in front but to the man's left. All
of these are kinds of Shadow.

Man stands behind and slightly to the left of the woman. She crosses her
right arm over her left in front of her body. He holds her right hand in his left. His right
arm passes behind her, and he holds her left in his right at her right hip. A kind of

E. LESSON PREVIEW/REVIEW

Introduction

In this lesson we are going to tackle, we will learn how to dance spiritually with a partner that we trust. The grace
involved with dance allows us to relieve ourselves from the stress around us so we can focus on the
process of letting go. Dancing allows us to let go of the reality around us and transcend into a world of our
own, away from the hardships and struggles involved with everyday life.
.

F. MAIN LESSON
Concepts & Notes
Activity 2: Read and understand carefully the discussion below. Jot down the important notes.

MODERN WALTZ

3 beats/measure, 28-35 measures/minute

The origins of the Waltz go back hundreds of years. The rhythm came to Vienna in the early 1800s, and the
Viennese Waltz was first exhibited in America in 1834 in Boston. Especially at the beginning of the 20th century
the slower Modern Waltz, danced at about half the original tempo, developed along with the Viennese Waltz. The
Modern Waltz is smoother, less frantic, and more varied. We turn left, then right. We dance forward and back, we
pause, and we can spend a measure or more developing this or that "picture" figure. Perhaps the most consistent
feature of today's waltz is the pronounced, controlled, wave-like rise and fall as we progress around the floor.

The first beat of each measure is a heavily accented "downbeat." The music then rises to a crescendo through
upbeats 2 and 3. At the end of beat 3, the music falls again. The dancer feels this swelling and contracting in
each measure. We rise and stretch with the music. One dancer described the feel of waltz music as "BOOM, cha,
cha." I don't know about the "cha-cha," but beat one certainly is dominant.

Lower in the knee at the end of beat 3. Many figures end with a closing step that helps accentuate this "fall"
(compared to the passing steps in foxtrot that keep you up most of the time). Stay down through count 1 with a

3, delaying and extending the rise, "milking" the body flight, smoothing
figure. There is a strong body sway toward the center of the turns.

Activity 3: Performance Task

Direction: Read and understand carefully the discussion below. Find a partner and practice performing the dance
positions written in the discussion. Wear proper uniform attire.

When dancing a waltz, someone has to lead and someone has to follow. Usually the man
will lead and the woman will follow.
Just about anyone can learn how to waltz. It is a smooth, gliding dance in three-quarter time with
a familiar 'one-two-three' rhythm, that doesn't require mastery of 'Latin hip' movement or
syncopated downbeats. Learning waltz steps can be a fun and romantic activity for any couple
looking for a new pastime. The waltz has long been considered a high-class dance with simple
movements and impeccable style.

Men's Steps:

1. Step forward with the left foot

2. Right foot step sideways to the right
3. Bring your left foot next to your right foot
4. Step back with the right foot
5. Step back sideways with the left foot
6. Bring your right foot next to your left foot

4. Step forward with the left foot
5. Step forward sideways with the right foot
6. Bring your left foot next to your right foot

The Natural Turn

The natural turn is a fundamental part of the waltz. Although it can be intimidating to those who are
new to the dance floor, it only involves six simple steps that most dancers can learn pretty quickly.

1. Step forward with the right foot as you simultaneously turn it to the right. Step on the heel
rising at the end of this step.
2. Step to the side with your left foot as you continue to turn to the right. This should be done
on the ball of your foot.
3. Bring the right foot in to your left foot. Move on your toes, then drop to your heel when you
step back with your left foot.
4. Step back with your left foot as you continue turning to the right. When you do this, be sure
that you are stepping back on the ball of your foot. Lower onto the heel, then bring it up
immediately.
5. Step to the side on the ball of your right foot as it continues to turn.
6. Bring your left foot up to your right foot while moving on your toes.

Introduction

Welcome to Lesson 2 students! In this lesson we will learn about the different positions and terms of dance .
Describing and mastering proper dance positions is an important part of dance technique. These dance
positions of a single dancer may be further detailed into body, head, arm, hand, leg, and foot positions; also,
these positions in a dance couple can additionally take into account connection, the relative orientation of
partners, and directions of movement (or of movement intention).

B. MAIN LESSON
Activity 2: Performance Task
Direction: Read and understand carefully the discussion below. Practice performing the dance positions witten in
the discussion. Wear proper uniform attire.

FIVE BASIC FOOT STEPS

6. First position: This is the main ballet position, and for most beginners, it is the basic position to start from. In this
standing position, the dancer’s feet remain connected at the heels, with the toes turned out at a 90-degree angle,
or greater. In this position, the entire sole of the dancer’s foot and toes are in contact with the floor. The ideal
turn-out angle is 180 degrees, but beginners are advised to work up to that position gradually and comfortably.

7. Second position: Starting with the foot placement for first position, the dancer slides one foot away
from the other to create a space of roughly one and a half feet between both feet. The feet remain
turned out at a 90-degree angle, or greater. The ideal turn-out is 180 degrees, "in straight line",
with the feet separated by one foot.
8. Third position: Starting with the foot placement for first position, the dancer slides one foot slightly
forward so that the back of the heel of one foot is touching the arch of the other foot. In this
position, the entire sole of the dancer’s front and back foot and toes are in contact with the floor.
9. Fourth position: Starting with the foot placement for third position, the dancer slides the front foot
directly forward, with a distance of roughly a foot between the front and back feet. In this position,
the entire sole of the dancer’s front and back foot and toes are in contact with the floor.
10. Fifth position: Starting with the foot placement for fourth position, the dancer will slide the front foot

Section: position,Schedule:
both feet are parallel and the entire sole of the dancer’s front and Date:
back foot and toes are
in contact with the floor.
FIVE BASIC ARM POSITION
13. First position: the dancer stands as if holding a large, round object in front of the body, with a
distance of one foot between their two hands.
14. Second position: the dancer extends both arms perpendicularly from the body in a T-shaped
position, with the elbows facing back and the fingers curved slightly.
15. Third position: the dancer extends one arm perpendicularly from the body, as is done in second
position, and extends the other arm outwards in front of the body, as is done in first position.
16. Fourth position: the dancer extends one arm perpendicularly from the body, as is done in second
position, and raises the other arm upwards in the air, parallel to the head and neck, with hand and
fingers curved slightly.
17. Fifth position: the dancer extends both arms overhead, parallel to the head and neck, creating an
oval shape with their two curved arms.
BODY POSITION
18. Arabesque: a position of the body in which a dancer stands on one leg with the other leg raised behind the body,
extended backward in a straight line.

19. Attitude: a position of the body which is a variation of the arabesque. In this position, a dancer's extended
leg is raised behind the body, bent at the knee at a 90-degree angle.
20. Assemble: a jump in which a dancer leaves the ground on one leg, and lands on the ground on two legs.
The dancer's legs come together at the same time and return to fifth position.
21. Grand jeté: a large jump or leap from one foot to the other. In this movement, the raised foot moves
forward and then is thrown back as the jump is made, with the landing on the raised foot.
22. Plié: a bending of the knee or knees.
23. Turnout: a body position in which the dancer turns his or her feet and legs out from the hip joints. /
24. Pirouette: a complete, 360-degree spin or turn of the body on one foot, on point or half-point.

Two-Hand Hold Regardless of dancers'

gender, ballroom couples
have a designated
dominant/leading and
subordinate/following partner.
Traditionally, a male partner
leads and a female partner
follows.
In the two-hand hold position,
both hands are held. Partners
should stand apart, facing one
another. The male partner
holds the female partner's
hands, while the female
partner places her hands in
the male partner's grasp.

Closed
Section: PositionSchedule: The closed Date:
position is another
position common in ballroom
dancing. In this position, the
partners stand close enough to
each other so that their bodies
touch, but slightly off to the left.
This enables each dancer's right
foot to step between their
partner's feet.
In the closed position, the male
partner rests his right hand on
the female partner's back while
holding her right hand with his
left hand. The female partner
places her left hand on the male
partner's upper arm.

Outside Right Position The outside right position (or

right parallel) is similar to the
basic closed position, with the
exception of the placement of
the feet.
In the outside right position,
the female partner's feet
should be to the right of the
male partner's.

Promenade Position In the promenade position, both

partners face the same direction
instead of facing one another.
Their bodies form a sort of "V"
shape.
The promenade is a forward movement.
Since the dancers are facing in the same
direction, both move forward at the same
time.

Fallaway Position The fallaway position is

similar to the promenade
position, except the dancers
move backward instead of
forward. In the fallaway
position, both partners take
small steps backward at the

"shadow" each other's moves.
Working from either a closed
position (touching), semi-closed
(slightly apart) or totally apart,
partners should face the same
direction, with one partner either
in front of the other or slightly to
their left or right.
Partners should step with the
same foot in the same direction.
Their movements should act as a
shadow to each other, as the
name of the position suggests.

Introduction

(2) Greeting students! This is the continuation of our lesson Basic Ballroom Dance Position. In this
lesson you need to cooperate with your partner to be able to perform the dance position. Dancing is
so much more than just grooving on the dance floor to your favorite tunes. In fact, you’ll be surprised
how many benefits are associated with dancing. Not only does it train your brain and your body’s
motor skills but it also is an excellent exercise for your entire body.

“Hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, they danced by the light of the moon.”

the trail knees bent. Some see the body shape as that of a straight-backed chair, with
the bent trail legs representing the front legs and seat of the chair, the trailing lead legs
the back legs of the chair, and the dancers' torsos representing the back of the chair.

Closed

Standard dance position, facing partner, slightly offset to the left, lower
bodies together, upper bodies apart, both looking left. The man’s right hand is just
below her left shoulder blade and her left hand is on his upper right arm. His left hand is
out to his left and about at shoulder height and is holding her right hand.

Contrary Body A position in which your step crosses in front or behind the body without body turn.

Fan A left open position; that is, the man's left hand joins the lady's right, and the lady is to
the man's left, but they are not side by side but at an angle. He faces one way (e.g.
wall), and she faces ninety degrees to that (e.g. reverse). The two bodies make a kind
of "L." Her right foot is extended forward without weight; his left foot is extended to the
side without weight.

Figurehead A stationary position in which the woman turns away from the man and takes a high,
forward poise, like the figurehead of a ship.

Half Open

Both facing the same direction, woman on man's right side, bodies turned
half toward each other; man's right palm on woman's back and woman's left hand at or
near man's right shoulder. Free arms may be extended to the side. In Left Half Open,
she is on his left side.

Hammerlock A facing position in which all hands are low and one hand of one partner is behind his or
her back. Usually, she is to his right side with her left hand behind her back.

Hand Shake A facing position, right hands joined at waist level. Left Hand Shake Position has left
hands joined.

High Line A stationary position in which both have a high, extended poise. The difference between
the High Line and the Promenade Sway (see "Picture Figure" below) might be that the
High Line includes a straight left leg and a little left-side stretch (for the man), and both
are looking up, whereas the Promenade Sway includes a soft left leg and man’s right-
side stretch, and both are looking out.

L-Shaped Dancers are at 90 degrees to each other and one is in front and to the right of the other.

Layback Usually a woman's position in which she arches her back and inclines into one or both of
the man's arms. The woman's arms may be raised and arched to follow and extend the
line of her body.

Layover Usually a woman's position in which she leans forward against her man, draping her
body along his.

Left _____ Any figure name preceded by the term "left" indicates a sort of mirror image of that figure
with the woman on his left side rather than his right or with lead hands joined rather than

Picture Figure Any stationary figure that is held or displayed for a time, such as a Hinge, Same Foot
Lunge, Promenade Sway, Throwaway Oversway, or the like; also High Line and Attitude
Line above. "Extending" a picture figure has the man releasing the woman to move
gradually farther into the figure, while both perhaps slowly and smoothly stretch their
bodies and extend the free arms. This "developing of the picture" can continue for a full
measure, two, or even longer at the end of a dance.

Reverse Fallaway or A step backward in Reverse Semi-closed Position (see immediately below).
Counter Fallaway
The term Reverse Fallaway is also used to designate a three-step figure in the smooth
rhythms that turns left-face to Semi-closed position. In essence, it is used as a
shorthand for "Reverse Turn to Fallaway Position."

Reverse Semi-Closed
or Counter Promenade

From Closed Position, the man turns 1/8 right face, and the woman turns
1/8 left face so that his left hip is in contact with her right hip. Compare to Semi-Closed
Position (see below), where his right hip and her left are together. However, do not shift
laterally. The woman should still be on the man's right side. His right hand remains on
her back, although this hold will have to be loosened a little. Lead hands remain joined
up and to the side.

Section: Schedule: Date:

This is a Varsovienne (see below) in which the man and woman occupy
each other's spot. The partners face the same direction, the woman behind the man and
to his left. She holds his left hand in her left slightly in front of her left shoulder. Her
right arm passes behind his shoulders, and her right hand holds his right, again to the
side and above his shoulder, or if he is too tall for this to be comfortable, at his waist.

Semi-Closed or
Promenade

A position lying between Open and Closed. In Closed Position, if the man
turns his hips to the right and gives a little more right side stretch, the lady will look to her
right. This is called opening the lady's head. Her body will open a little, too. It will turn a
bit to the right. Now, your two bodies form a slight "V." Your arm positions have not
changed, and the man's right and the lady's left hips are still in contact. The lady is still a
bit to the man's right, but the man's left and the lady's right sides are separated slightly,
and both are looking down the line of dance. When the man steps forward, the lady will
step forward, too. Note that the man does not turn to SCP; he turns the lady to SCP, and
it is mostly the man's right side that is in control of the lady's head.

Shadow Partners facing the same direction, one (usually the man) to the left and a little behind
the other. A common mistake is to get too far to the side and maybe almost even with
each other—hip-to-hip. Actually, the woman should be located where she would be in a
closed position, on his right hip, but she is turned around. Hand positions are not
specified in shadow, but often left hands are joined and the man's right hand is
comfortably on her back or at her waist above her right hip. This position might more
specifically be called Woman’s Shadow. The man is "shadowing" the woman.

In Left Shadow, she is in front and to the left.

In Man’s Shadow, he is in front, and she is to the left and a bit behind. In Man’s Left
Shadow or Reverse Shadow, he is in front and to the left.

Side-by-Side Partners are beside each other and usually facing the same direction, for instance, an
open or left open position with no hands joined.

Sidecar

A closed position with the man’s right side leading. When the man steps
forward with his left foot, he steps outside his partner's feet. Note that, as with the banjo
diagram above, this sidecar diagram is overdone. Their bodies should not be offset but
should be angled and in a closed position.

Skaters Partners facing the same direction, the man to the left and a little behind the woman, left
hands joined and held in front of her and a little higher than her shoulder, right hands
joined at woman's right hip. Alternatively, the man may simply extend his right arm
behind her back, and she may place her hand at her waist or extend it to the side. In
Skirt Skaters, the woman holds her skirt flared out with her right hand. The man's right
hand is on her right hip. A kind of Shadow.

A facing position but offset, right hip to right hip, woman a little in front of
man, right hands joined at shoulder level or above, right elbows may be touching. In a

J. LESSON PREVIEW/REVIEW

Introduction

In this lesson we are going to tackle, we will learn how to dance spiritually with a partner that we trust. The grace
involved with dance allows us to relieve ourselves from the stress around us so we can focus on the
process of letting go. Dancing allows us to let go of the reality around us and transcend into a world of our
own, away from the hardships and struggles involved with everyday life.
.

K. MAIN LESSON
Concepts & Notes
Activity 2: Read and understand carefully the discussion below. Jot down the important notes.

MODERN WALTZ

3 beats/measure, 28-35 measures/minute

The origins of the Waltz go back hundreds of years. The rhythm came to Vienna in the early 1800s, and the
Viennese Waltz was first exhibited in America in 1834 in Boston. Especially at the beginning of the 20th century
the slower Modern Waltz, danced at about half the original tempo, developed along with the Viennese Waltz. The
Modern Waltz is smoother, less frantic, and more varied. We turn left, then right. We dance forward and back, we
pause, and we can spend a measure or more developing this or that "picture" figure. Perhaps the most consistent
feature of today's waltz is the pronounced, controlled, wave-like rise and fall as we progress around the floor.

The first beat of each measure is a heavily accented "downbeat." The music then rises to a crescendo through
upbeats 2 and 3. At the end of beat 3, the music falls again. The dancer feels this swelling and contracting in
each measure. We rise and stretch with the music. One dancer described the feel of waltz music as "BOOM, cha,
cha." I don't know about the "cha-cha," but beat one certainly is dominant.

Lower in the knee at the end of beat 3. Many figures end with a closing step that helps accentuate this "fall"
(compared to the passing steps in foxtrot that keep you up most of the time). Stay down through count 1 with a

3, delaying and extending the rise, "milking" the body flight, smoothing
figure. There is a strong body sway toward the center of the turns.

Activity 3: Performance Task

Direction: Read and understand carefully the discussion below. Find a partner and practice performing the dance
positions written in the discussion. Wear proper uniform attire.

When dancing a waltz, someone has to lead and someone has to follow. Usually the man
will lead and the woman will follow.
Just about anyone can learn how to waltz. It is a smooth, gliding dance in three-quarter time with
a familiar 'one-two-three' rhythm, that doesn't require mastery of 'Latin hip' movement or
syncopated downbeats. Learning waltz steps can be a fun and romantic activity for any couple
looking for a new pastime. The waltz has long been considered a high-class dance with simple
movements and impeccable style.

Men's Steps:

7. Step forward with the left foot

8. Right foot step sideways to the right
9. Bring your left foot next to your right foot
10. Step back with the right foot
11. Step back sideways with the left foot
12. Bring your right foot next to your left foot

The Natural Turn

The natural turn is a fundamental part of the waltz. Although it can be intimidating to those who are
new to the dance floor, it only involves six simple steps that most dancers can learn pretty quickly.

7. Step forward with the right foot as you simultaneously turn it to the right. Step on the heel
rising at the end of this step.
8. Step to the side with your left foot as you continue to turn to the right. This should be done
on the ball of your foot.
9. Bring the right foot in to your left foot. Move on your toes, then drop to your heel when you
step back with your left foot.
10. Step back with your left foot as you continue turning to the right. When you do this, be sure
that you are stepping back on the ball of your foot. Lower onto the heel, then bring it up
immediately.
11. Step to the side on the ball of your right foot as it continues to turn.
12. Bring your left foot up to your right foot while moving on your toes.
