AND
POSITION
Do you love to dance? Are you familiar with basic steps in dancing? Can you
dance the basic position? Did you join some folk dances?
Dance is the ideal means of self- expresion. It is also hel the development of self
confidence. It serves as a form of recreation and for athoes, it is an art form.
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.
In this module we learn about different dance steps and dance position. We will
also demonstrate each dance steps and dance position.

The accent is on the first beat.
2. Run- A run varies from a slow heel-toe run to a fast and running action from toe to
the opposite toe.
3. Hop- The hop is a basic springing action from the ball of one foot to the ball of the
same foot.
