Elaborations
- identifying where they might experience dance in their lives and communities, for example, considering how dance sustains and communicates cultural knowledge
- Considering viewpoints – evaluations: For example – Why are these people dancing? Where are they dancing? Where is this dance from?
- recognising that dance can show that people have different feelings about the world based on their experiences of the environment and other people
- exploring and responding to dances they make and view, for example, considering what the dance made them think about or how the dance made them feel
- recognising patterns of movement in dances they make, perform and view using their own words and learnt dance terminology
- Considering viewpoints – What sort of movements did the dancers perform? What are they wearing? What kind of music are they dancing to?
