GRADE 8 MAPEH
4TH QUARTER
Regional
And
National Dances with Asian Influence
Just like any other sports or games, dancing is
also a physical activity that can promote lifelong fitness and wellness. It is a good source of exercise that could
help develop grace and poise. It can even help in maintaining good health as it
highlights health-related fitness components such as cardio-vascular endurance,
flexibility, and strength.
With
the effect of acculturation, indigenous dances of the Philippines may have been
modified since the culture of other countries has influenced our very own
dances. This is evident in the western style adopted in our folk dances. Along
with this are the influences of our Asian neighbors that have enriched our
national dances to a large extent. It is for this reason why there is a need
for you to understand our cultural rootby learning our dances.
This module will introduce you to the
different regional and national folk dances of the Philippines with
influences from other Asian countries.
We are part of the on going history of trade and industry and that part and
parcel are influences retained in us like textiles, color of fabrics, and
design reflected in the costumes of the dance.

At the end of the
lesson, you should be able to
- · discuss the origin and location of folk dance through its costume and music
- · execute regional and national dance with Asian influence like sakuting
- · demonstrate the dance steps and figures
- Create a dance production in Sakuting (Festival)
WHAT TO KNOW
Learning Goal: Describe and discuss the nature and
characteristics of the dance.
Philippine folk dances speak so much about the heartbeat
of our people for they tell about our customs, ideas, beliefs, superstitions,
and events of daily living in a certain
community. Just by looking at the costumes, props, and implements of a certain
group or tribe would tell you of the origin
of the dance. The kind of music being used readily also tell about the
influences brought about by trade and settlement of our neighboring countries such
as China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Burma, Cambodia, Thailand and Japan to name a
few. Truly evident is the effect of acculturation in the country as manifested
by the kinds of costumes, props, music, and dance steps that are used and
integrated in to some of our regional and national folk dances. The use of
gongs, kulintangs and the incorporation of pentatonic scale to our musical
compositions are just concrete proofs of acculturation in the country. These
are the reasons why Philippine folk dances contribute to the very rich culture
of the country.
The historical background and context
of the dance literature
Sakuting would give you a clear picture of the nature and background of this regional
and national folk dance. This will help you understand its significance and
cultural value, including the beauty and complexity of the people’s lives
living in those places.

accompaniment for the dance.
Background/Context:
This is a dance of the ethnic people living in the
western side of the Cordilleras way back before the coming of the Americans to
our country. During the Christmas, young boys and girls accompanied by their
elders would go to the lowlands, especially in Abra and Ilocos Norte to dance
in front of the houses and ask for gifts. These young children hold sticks, one
on each hand and strike them together to make their dance more lively. The
homes would give them money, homemade delicacies and other things.
These dancing groups later reached as far as the coastal
towns of Ilocos region as years went by. The rhythmic sounds produced by the
stick attracted other children and also adults and they also learned the dance.
“Sakuting“
is an ethnic term which refer to the rhythmic sticks
producing the
accompaniment
for the dance.
