Influences: Hip Hop
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can apply the influence of graffiti art into my actions.
Key learning points
- Move: performing actions with a Hip Hop posture requires feet apart, knees slightly bent, leaning forwards.
- Move: performing angular shapes and actions while using the correct posture requires control and coordination.
- Think: combining jumps and angular shapes to represent graffiti and Hip Hop dance actions requires evaluation.
- Feel: giving honest and constructive feedback demonstrates integrity.
- Connect: working together to coordinate a group performance requires respect.
Keywords
Posture - the position a body is held
Angular - having angles or sharp corners
Culture - the ideas, customs and behaviour of people
Common misconception
Posture doesn't matter in Hip hop dance.
Posture immediately communicates clues about a dance style, whether it is forceful and energetic like Hip Hop or light and graceful like Ballet. It enables the audience to know what to expect.
Teacher tip
Describe angular shapes as 'making corners with your body' and guide them to focus on how their joints move.
