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.
In addition to the General Education performance
indicators, students:
- use technologies to research, create, perform,
or communicate about dance (a)
- understand the roles of dancers, audience,
and creators in a variety of dance forms and contexts (b)
- participate in, or observe, dance events
outside of school (c)
- know about educational requirements of dance-related
careers and how to prepare for possible entrance into those fields
(d)
- know about good nutrition, injury prevention,
and how to care for the body (e).
This is evident, for example, when students:
- use the Internet or other means to research
dance forms of the 1920's
- intern with a local dance company
- research at least three institutions which
have dance programs in order to know the entrance requirements
for each
- practice good nutrition and injury prevention
techniques
- work alone or with a group of students to
research current dance innovations through library and on-line
resources and compile a bibliography of sources for class use,
including relevant listservs, Home Pages, etc.
- alone or with a group, research the development
of one style of dance by using a variety of sources, including
archival files
- interview professionals in the dance industry
to learn about educational, physiological, and logistical career
requirements and document the interviews.
