Dance

Dance in Year 8 provides the opportunity for students to build an awareness of their body and extend their understanding and use of rhythm, movement, spatial awareness and choreographic devices. Students explore dances from a range of different cultures, times and locations. Students learn about how these dance forms communicate social contexts and relationships as well as learning about style and choreographic intent. 

In addition to this, students explore the meaning and interpretation of choreography, including the social, cultural and historical contexts of dances which aims to broaden the students’ understanding of different people groups.
