| The learner is able to: | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| improvise, discover and select separate and combined elements: speed, tension and continuity; | ||||
| execute his/her movements within a specific space and to pay attention to size, planes, direction and shape; | ||||
| use a series of different spatial relationships (e.g. in front of, behind, under, etc.) in simple group shapes; and | ||||
| explore how simple contact work with other learners is used to express ideas. |
Appreciation assessment
| The learner is able to: | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| describe changes in quality of speed, tension and continuity, as well as rhythmic and spatial pattern formation in dances that they see; | ||||
| interpret the qualitative, spatial and relationship qualities of a dance; and | ||||
| Evaluate the qualitative, spatial and relationship qualities of their own and other learners’ dances. |
This dance is to be done inside the classroom. Note the difference in space available to you in relation to the previous Sports Dance.
You have your desk, table or chair to work with.
Music can be used for this dance. Both R&B and Rock music work well with this dance. Choose a song with a definite beat.
Try different positions with your upper body while sitting at your desk (e.g. sitting up straight, bending forward, bending to the side).
Try different positions with your head and neck.
Explore different arm movements (e.g. arm direction, bent or straight arms).
Choose one body position, head position and arm position and combine them to form a sequence.
Try different leg positions while sitting down.
Explore the possibility of turning in your chair.
Try moving in and around your desk (standing on the chair, sitting on the desk, standing next to the chair).
Create a combination of all the movements and choreograph your chair dance.
Add sound to your dance by using the desk or table to keep the beat (e.g. slapping the table with your hand, stomping your feet on the floor).
Put the sound and the movements together to create the Chair Dance.
