- learning dances created for different purposes such as entertainment; for example, dances from a range of cultures, times or places that are/have been a dance craze or are a dance that “everyone” knows
- using Viewpoints to ask questions about dance they are experiencing, such as “Are the movements in this dance similar to movements in dances that you know?”, “Where are these dances performed?”
