Standard 1: Creating,
Performing and Participating in the Arts
1. Students will perform set dance forms in
formal and informal contexts and will improvise, create, and perform
dances based on their own movement ideas. They will demonstrate
an understanding of choreographic principles, processes, and structures
and of the roles of various participants in dance productions.
Students:
- perform movements and dances that require
demonstration of complex steps and patterns as well as an understanding
of contextual meanings (a)
- create dance studies and full choreographies
based on identified and selected dance movement vocabulary (b)
- apply a variety of choreographic processes
and structures as appropriate to plan a duet or ensemble performance
(c).
This is evident, for example, when students:
- perform a dance which is student choreographed
using an excerpt from a selected contemporary piece of music
- develop the choreography for a duet and
plan the rehearsal program to achieve the dance
- view a dance company's practice sessions,
observe how the dancers develop and integrate their movements
and expressions for their own piece and in concert with the other
dancers, and then analyze and describe the process
- work as part of a group to research a particular
style of dance, develop and create choreography based on that
research, and then perform the piece as an ensemble.
