Edu Dance Commences
July 17
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 30min session once per week for 9 weeks. The total cost to students this year is $39. This will cover all of the nine sessions.
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 11 September. Further details about this and our annual planned open night will occur throughout Term 3.
Lessons will be held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays throughout Term 3.
