Dance activity: patterns

In this lesson, we will demonstrate actions from a recipe for cake then bring them together to make a movement pattern.

In this lesson, we will explore traditional Greek dance. We will learn a movement pattern and then get creative by making our own movements. Please note this lesson will require some physical exercise and additional equipment, beyond a pen, pencil or paper. Please see the equipment slide near the start of the lesson video and make sure your child is adequately supervised when equipment is required. Parents and carers are responsible for ensuring that children follow the correct safety advice provided at the start of this lesson and the instructions the teacher gives during the lesson. Parents and carers are responsible for supervising activities where required and for seeking medical advice in advance if your child has a medical condition that may prevent them taking part in physical activity.

In this lesson, we will learn a motif using directions; up and down, side to side, forwards and backwards and turning around. There will be a chance for you to choreograph your own movement pattern.
