Description

This unit utilises a stylistic approach that introduces both a wider movement vocabulary and demonstrates the value of dance as an important social construct; crossing time, cultures and emphasising relevance as a lifelong activity for positive physical, emotional and social health.

This unit builds upon pupil knowledge and understanding of dances from other times and places to demonstrate its diversity and continuous evolution. By introducing a selection of established social dances, pupils are provided with the opportunity to compare and contrast, identify personal preference and consider how they might continue to engage in such activities into adulthood on a structured or ad hoc basis. It will also provide some insight into current dance cultures, deepening their cultural understanding and appreciation.
