What I Know
ACTIVITY 1: PRE-TEST
Instructions:
The purpose of this activity is to evaluate your aerobic capacity through getting
your own heart rate after dancing. You can use a digital heart rate monitoring device
BUT using the pulse rate method is highly encouraged for this activity.

USE THE FOLLOWING FORMULA IN GETTING YOUR THR OR TARGET HEART RATE:
FORMULA: 220-AGE

Example:
If you're 18 years old, subtract 18 from 220 to get a maximum heart rate of 202.
This is the average maximum number of times your heart should beat per
minute during exercise.

DO THE FOLLOWING ACTIVITY

1. Calculate your target heart rate and write it in any available paper you have.
2. Find an open space for this activity.
3. Do a 1-minute warm-up exercise to prepare yourself for this activity.
4. Perform the dance video presentation that you submitted last week.

 Make sure to perform it with a good amount of energy to create positive
results. AFTER PERFORMING, count your pulse rate through your carotid or
radial pulse for 1 minute. Then, CHECK IF THE RESULTS, is the same with your
calculated target heart rate .

If the result of your activity is 55% to 70% of your THR, then the performance you made is in moderateintensity.
Example: The 55% of 202 is 111. If your pulse rate after your dance performance is 91 then what you did is in m

But if, the result of your activity is 71% to 85% of your THR, then the performance you made is in vigorou

Example: The 71% of 202 is 143.If your pulse rate after your dance performance is 143 then what you

IMPORTANT NOTE: CHECK YOUR PULSE RATE IMMEDIATELY AFTER

PERFORMING. RESTING BEFORE GETTING YOUR PULSE RATE CAN INVALIDATE
THE RESULTS OF YOUR THR.

5. After analyzing your results, it is now the best time to relax and re-hydrate.
Once well rested, copy and answer the following guide questions using the Word
document.

 What’s New

I hope you are excited about the activities that you are going to do in this module.
Now, I want you to read and understand the nature of folk dance.

What is Folk Dance?

☞ A folk dance is a dance developed by people that reflect the life of the people of
a certain country or region. Not all ethnic dances are folk dances.
☞ For example, ritual dances or dances of ritual origin are not considered to be folk
dances. Ritual dances are usually called "Religious dances" because of their purpose.
☞ The terms "ethnic" and "traditional" are used when it is required to emphasize
the cultural roots of the dance. In this sense, nearly all folk dances are ethnic ones. If
some dances, such as polka, cross ethnic boundaries and even cross the boundary
between "folk" and "ballroom dance", ethnic differences are often considerable enough
to mention.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folk_dance

You will now learn and understand in this module the different basic dance
steps of Folk dance. You can use the internet and watch videos on how to perform
the following dance steps.
