In the previous lesson, we were able to discuss the different ways in observing

Now, read the statements below. Put a (√) in the blank if it shows correct safety precautions.
Write (X) if it isn’t.

Our last lesson guided you how to perform dances or exercises successfully and

to execution. Are you now ready?

What’s New

Look at the picture.

  Is this dance familiar to you?
 What particular dance is shown in the picture?
 Have you tried performing this dance?
 If yes, How was your experience with the dance?
 Do you know the skills as well as the basic patterns involved in this dance?

This time we will be learning one of the most popular folk dances in our country
and later we’ll execute the skills as well as the basic dance patterns involved in the
dance.

What is It

One of the most popular folk dances in our country is Itik-itik. This dance is a
mimetic dance which originated in the province of Surigao in Mindanao . According to the
folklore, this dance was first created by a young Filipina maiden-dancer named Kanang
who was considered to be best dancer in the Surigao province. Itik-itik is usually danced
by women accompanied by a song. However, in this day and age boys do perform this
dance too joyfully.
This “mimetic” folk dance is created by imitating the “movements of a duck” such as
wading, flying, and short steps and splashing water on their backs like the ducks do so as to
attract a mate. This unique dance was then named “Itik-Itik” since “Itik” means “duck” in
the local Tagalog language.

Costumes used in Itik-Itik:

For Men: barong tagalog or camisa de chino.

For Women: baro’t saya, patadyong or balintawak

Music of the dance is composed of two parts: A and B.

Count one, two, three to a measure.

For those who haven’t tried the dance you will eventually learn this as our lesson
progresses. So brace yourselves!
There are three skills involved in the Folk Dance Itik-Itik.

1. Flexibility- ability to bend and move parts of your body smoothly and effortlessly
2. Balance- ability of the dancer to maintain an upright and controlled position of the body
whether in movement or still.
3. Coordination- ability to combine bodily movements in unison, in a smooth and
efficient manner

4
 These skills are all important to develop so as to perform the dance correctly and
successfully.

What’s More

Now it’s time for the execution of the skills involved in this dance. Are you now
ready?
But, before we proceed to the execution of skills and the dance patterns, let’s do
some of the safety precautions and do the fundamental positions in dancing as warming
up. You can do this along with your sister or brother or any family members while at home
