Study Notes
Understanding Rhythm and Dance
- Every individual has an innate sense of rhythm, present in nature and exemplified through dance.
- Rhythm is characterized by the regular recurrence of accented and unaccented beats; it manifests as rhythmic movements in response to music.
- Rhythmic activities reflect mental and emotional responses, fostering physical, social, and mental engagement.
Objectives of Rhythmic Activities

- Maintain good posture and physical efficiency.
- Promote emotional freedom and expression.
- Cultivate a balanced and well-coordinated physique.
