Create dance phrases and sequences that demonstrate understanding of the elements of dance including:
  • actions (five basic jumps)
  • body (zones and areas)
  • dynamics (extremes of speed, duration, varying forces)
  • relationships (range)
  • space (create and recall combinations of pathways and directions).
Indicators for this outcome
(a)

Generate movements in order to represent own movement ideas.

(b)

Apply knowledge of body zones including right side, left side, front, back, upper half, and lower half to own movements.

(d)

Apply a variety of dynamics including moving with the extremes of speed (fast and slow), duration (short and long), and varying forces (strong and light).

(e)

Demonstrate that energy is on a continuum of a little to a lot and apply to own movement explorations and dances.

(f)

Demonstrate ways of grouping speed and duration to form rhythmic patterns.
