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:
- use dance technologies without significant
supervision (a)
- are familiar with techniques of research
about dance (b)
- know about regional performance venues which
present dance and how to purchase tickets and access information
about events (c)
- know about educational requirements of dance-related
careers (d)
- identify major muscles and bones and how
they function in dance movement (e).
This is evident, for example, when students:
- select the appropriate dance technologies
for a given performance
- know about the role that muscles play in
dance and practice correct stretching exercises
- attend a regional dance performance and
report to the class about it
- compile an ongoing calendar of community
dance events and share this information with other students and
the broader community through the broadcast media, publications,
or on-line
- attend a variety of dance performances and
keep a journal/file of the obvious differences and similarities
- gather information, through research and
interviews, about dance-related careers and professional training,
and establish a file for use and contributions by other students
- research and compare and contrast the movement
and functions of muscles and bones in dance and other physical
activities, such as tennis, swimming, etc.
