What you’ll learn

I can apply the influence of graffiti art into my actions.

Key learning points

  • Move: performing actions with a Hip Hop posture requires feet apart, knees slightly bent, leaning forwards.
  • Move: performing angular shapes and actions while using the correct posture requires control and coordination.
  • Think: combining jumps and angular shapes to represent graffiti and Hip Hop dance actions requires evaluation.
  • Feel: giving honest and constructive feedback demonstrates integrity.
  • Connect: working together to coordinate a group performance requires respect.

Words to know

posture
the position a body is held
angular
having angles or sharp corners
culture
the ideas, customs and behaviour of people

Common mistakes

Posture doesn't matter in Hip hop dance.

Posture immediately communicates clues about a dance style, whether it is forceful and energetic like Hip Hop or light and graceful like Ballet. It enables the audience to know what to expect.

For parents, carers and teachers
  • Describe angular shapes as 'making corners with your body' and guide them to focus on how their joints move.
