Remote learning: dance development
Downloads can take a few minutes, especially for larger files or slower connections.
Why this why now
Throughout KS1 and KS2, pupils have had the opportunity to choreograph dance sequences in character, demonstrating musicality, emotion and creativity, aligned to multiple stimuli. This unit will take the next step into developing pupils' knowledge and application of specific dance steps and challenge pupils to focus on the aesthetics of their performance. Pupils will be required to utilise their current knowledge and understanding around choreography in order to create and perform complex dance sequences, using specific dance steps alongside accurate timing.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils know how to use dance as an effective means of communicating ideas.
- Pupils understand a variety of techniques to respond to a stimuli.
- Pupils are able to develop motifs and use them effectively to build short dance routines.
- Pupils show an awareness of a wide range of physical, choreographic and analytical skills concurrently.
