Locomotion: can you link a set of balances together to create a short sequence?
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can link a range of balances together with flow to create a short sequence.
Key learning points
- Move: linking balances together with flow needs control and accuracy.
- Think: focussing throughout the sequence leads to a quality performance.
- Feel: trying hard to make our sequences flow shows self-belief.
- Connect: sharing our ideas with others needs respect and empathy.
Keywords
Sequence - a set of movements or actions performed in a specific order
Flow - moving smoothly from one action or movement to the next
Empathy - understanding and sharing the feelings of others
Common misconception
A sequence is one balance performed after another.
Sequences need to have linking moves for the balances to flow and for the sequence to look good.
