What you’ll learn
I can use the choreographic relationship of question and answer effectively.
Key learning points
- Move: directing focus, formations and dynamics towards an opponent aids projection of the dance.
- Think: entrances and exits require concentration.
- Feel: pausing whilst others perform their work is an example of self-discipline.
- Connect: empathy includes acknowledging the successes of others.
Words to know
- question and answer
- a choreographic relationship in which dancers alternate performing to each other
- formation
- how dancers are arranged, e.g. line, circle, block
- embellishments
- additional actions to add interest
Common mistakes
Hip Hop culture focuses on 'disrespecting' your opponent and mocking them.
As in all competitive settings, the performers are trying to succeed and employ a variety of strategies to do so, but this also includes congratulating others on their successes and supporting those who are developing their skills.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Emphasise personal style (or 'flava') throughout and encourage pupils to perform the actions in a way that feels comfortable to them.
