Standard 2: Knowing and Using Arts Materials and Resources

2. Students will know how to access dance and dance-related material from libraries, resource centers, museums, studios, and performance spaces. Students will know various career possibilities in dance and recreational opportunities to dance. Students will attend dance events and participate as appropriate within each setting.

Students:

demonstrate knowledge of dance resources in video, photography, print, and live performance (a)
understand the concept of live performance and appropriate conduct (b)
demonstrate a knowledge of dance-related careers (e.g., dancer, choreographer, composer, lighting designer, historian, teacher) (c).

This is evident, for example, when students:

discuss the differences between watching a dance performance on video and watching a live performance
talk to a visiting artist (dancer, choreographer, composer, lighting director) about what he/she does.
