Standard 3: Responding to and Analyzing Works of Art

3. Students will express through written and oral language their understanding, interpretation, and evaluation of dances they see, do, and read about. Students will acquire the critical vocabulary to talk and write about a variety of dance forms.

Students:

demonstrate knowledge of the technical language used in discussing dance performances (a)
demonstrate knowledge of choreographic principles and processes (b)
express to others their understanding of specific dance performances, including perceptions, descriptions, analyses, interpretations, and evaluations (c).

This is evident, for example, when students:

after viewing a video of a dance they compare their interpretations with others in the group.
