Home learning: an introduction to dance

6 lessons

Description

The unit of work will challenge pupils to respond to the changing stimuli using a range of different and controlled actions, showing character, expression, control and accuracy. Pupils will learn how to co-ordinate their bodies to create short sequences.

Pupils will already know the key knowledge essential for dance. Pupils will further develop their motor competence to complement their physical education experience in other aspects of PE, whilst introducing opportunities to be expressive and respond to creative stimuli such as music. Skills learnt within this unit will be developed, extended and build upon the foundational movement skills and creative play introduced through the EYFS curriculum.
