Edu Dance Commences
19/07/2023
Edu-Dance Pre-primary to Year 6
Our students have an opportunity to engage in an energetic dance program during Term 3. This program fulfils the requirements of the WA Curriculum of The Arts for Dance for students. Below are the key components of the curriculum in which students will engage.
- Use of stimuli to explore movement ideas to create simple dance sequences.
Exploration of, and experimentation with, two (2) elements of dance
- Body:
- body awareness (awareness of body in space in relation to objects)
- body zones (whole body movements)
- body bases (feet)
- Space:
- levels (low, medium, high)
- direction (forward, backward, angular)
- personal space
- shape (straight, curved)
to create dance sequences
- Locomotor (walking, skipping, running) and non-locomotor movements (twisting, bending, turning, swaying) to develop body control and coordination
- Safe dance practices, including being aware of personal space
- Performance skills (facing the audience) when presenting dance
The sessions are specialised and run by fully qualified Edu-Dance instructors. Each class has a 30 minute session once per week for 9 weeks. The total cost to students this year is $38.00 (this will cover all of the nine sessions), however if you have received a text message regarding a reduced cost, please pay the amount advised.
The final week of the program will conclude in a concert so students can display their talent to the school community. This year’s concert has been scheduled for Wednesday 20 September. Further details about this and our annual planned open night will occur throughout Term 3.
Lessons will be held on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays throughout Term 3.
Please forward money and permission note to the office before Friday 21 July.
