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.
- In addition to the General Education performance
indicators, students:
- use a variety of sources to find dance ideas
(a)
- select dance structures for use in choreographic
projects (b)
- perform dances requiring use of more sophisticated
performance elements such as dynamics, phrasing, musicality, expression
(c)
- use a variety of choreographic approaches
with any number of dancers, props, and performance spaces (d)
- demonstrate ability to work effectively
as dancer, choreographer, director, costumer, lighting designer,
manager (e).
This is evident, for example, when students:
- select dance structures based on traditional
forms and choreograph them into a dance, selecting the music
- create a dance appropriate for elementary
school children and instruct the children in bodily movements
and dance vocabulary
- prepare and perform a dance recital which
shows a high level of expression, dynamics, musicality and phrasing
- create and develop audition pieces that
demonstrate knowledge of high level choreographic principles
- arrange, prepare and audition for dance
companies, participating in the process with poise and professionalism
- interpret an existing piece of choreography
through reflection (e.g., journal writing) and a uniquely personal
approach to performance.
