Dance

Dance encompasses many styles and does not require a lot of practical knowledge. Alongside practical activities and assessments is the development of a workbook. This melding of both practical and theoretical concepts encourages students to become “thinking dancers”.

Content/skills
Concepts studied in this unit include choreography, group performance, improvisation, dynamics and expressions. Historical and social aspects of dance are also explored.
Students are assessed on their performances (both class and small group dances), their participation during classroom activities, enthusiasm and completion of written research tasks, alongside a well presented workbook.
