guitars. A fire is lit in the belief that the smoke will carry the offering
up to the gods.

the movements of a much-loved bird, to dances that reflect elements of daily Philippine life,
these folk dances all offer a glimpse into the history of the country.

MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY

MODERN DANCE – was developed in the early 1900s, the time when dancers came out
against the stiffness and restraints of classical ballet. It created its own techniques, costumes,
shoes, and gave more attention to self-expression and individual creativity rather than
technical expertise. It allows dancers and choreographers to create steps using their moods
and emotions producing a more relaxed dance style.

CONTEMPORARY DANCE – may include techniques that are found in ballet and modern
dance such as floor work, fall and recovery, improvisation, even incorporating yoga, pilates,
and martial arts together with techniques introduced by such famous dancers as Graham,
Hawkins, Horton, and Cunningham. PHOTO CREDITS: [Link]

designed for such dances). The definition of ballroom dance also depends on the era: balls
