What you’ll learn
I can use a precise location as a place to start my dance.
Key learning points
- Move: consistently returning to an exact location requires precision.
- Think: selecting the shapes or actions we perform requires decision-making.
- Think: changing the levels of our actions and shapes requires creative thinking.
- Feel: self-discipline is needed to maintain stillness whilst my partner is performing.
- Connect: using a precise location helps to communicate the idea of paragraphs.
Words to know
- location
- where a shape or action is placed, e.g. a starting position
- level
- the height of a shape or action; high, medium or low
- alternate
- take turns, the basis of the choreographic relationship of question and answer
Common mistakes
A starting position only describes the shape you make.
A starting position involves both the shape you make, as well as the location. It refers to both what you do and where you do it.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Defining the area each duet should work within can avoid unnecessary risk of collisions. Existing floor markings can be very useful. Alternatively, resources such as cones can be used.
