Observation

  • Watch a video of an Indian dance. Enquire at your local video shop about videos in the “Bollywood” genre.

Note the following aspects while you are watching the video:

  • the different ways the dancer uses straight and curved pathways;
  • the elevation, travel, gesture, jumps and turns;
  • the changes in speed, tension, continuity, rhythm and spatial relationships;
  • the movements in relation to the music;
  • if the dance tells a story;
  • the dance structure: the beginning, middle and end;
  • the different feelings, moods and emotions expressed by the dancers.

View the video again – or as many times as you want to see it.

Fill out the questionnaire after you have viewed the dance.

1. Did you like the dance? Why? / Why not?

2. Did you like the music? Why? / Why not?

3. What does the dance tell you about the Indian culture?

4. Describe the floor patterns of the dance.

5. What movements did you observe? (Refer to the five basic body activities).

6. What story did the dance tell?

7. Did the dance have a beginning, middle and an end? If so, identify the structure.

8. Did the dance convey any moods, emotions and feelings? What were they?

Class discussion

  • Discuss the video and the points stipulated in the questionnaire.
  • Discuss the similarities and differences of the video you have just viewed and the dances you have created in Module 2.

What is different between quantity demand and demand?
Shukri Reply
Quantity demanded refers to the specific amount of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to purchase at a give price and within a specific time period. Demand, on the other hand, is a broader concept that encompasses the entire relationship between price and quantity demanded
