What you’ll learn
I can identify different types of contrast used in choreography.
Key learning points
- Move: performing contrasting actions linked to direction, levels and pathways requires accurate timings.
- Think: making small changes to choreography requires creativity and decision making.
- Feel: resilience enables us to concentrate and try our hardest to ensure we can perform with accurate timings.
- Connect: working well as a group always requires cooperation.
Words to know
- contrast
- distinctly different
- pathway
- the track of a journey
- repeat
- to perform again
Common mistakes
Pupils think that contrast just means doing the opposite of someone else.
Contrast in dance means that you are doing something distinctly different, for example, performing different directions, levels and pathways to each other.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Orientate all the groups in the same direction as each other and be clear which end of the line is the 'lead'.
