# Physical Activities Toward Health and Fitness 3 ## Common Dance Steps This document describes common dance steps used in Philippine folk dances. It provides definitions for each step, along with their origin and common usage. ### Dance Steps and Descriptions 1. **Patay:** Bend the head downward to support the forehead with the right forearm, or with the crook of the right elbow. The left hand supports the right hand's palm. The left foot points backwards, and the knees are slightly bent. This is a Ilocano term. 2. **Salok:** Swing the arm downward and upward, passing in front of the body as if scooping. The trunk bends in accordance with the arm's movement. This is a Tagalog term. 3. **Saludo:** Partners bow to each other, the audience, opposite dancers, or neighbors, with feet together. This is of Spanish origin. 4. **Sarok:** Cross the right foot in front of the left foot, and bend the body slightly forward. Cross the hands in front of the right hand over the left. This is a Visayan term. 5. **Slide:** Glide the foot smoothly along the floor, with or without weight transfer. 6. **Stamp:** Bring the foot forcibly and noisily onto the floor, with or without transferring body weight. 7. **Tap:** Lightly rap the ball or toe of the free foot, flexing the ankle, while keeping body weight balanced on the other foot. 8. **Whirl:** Make fast turns by executing small steps in place, to the right or left, with arms in a lateral position. ### Additional Information The document notes that some dance steps don't have English equivalents, and native names like "kuradang," "bacui," and "Engano" are retained.
