What you’ll learn
I can accurately perform and combine steps from the Jive.
Key learning points
- Move: applying specific style features enables you to choreograph using different dance styles.
- Think: arranging actions into a choreographic composition involves decision making.
- Feel: resilience is required when learning new, complex actions.
- Connect: working closely with others involves trusting that they will perform with accuracy.
Words to know
- style
- the features, qualities or traits that indicate a specific type of dance
- technique
- how an action is performed within a specific style, e.g. how the arms should be placed
- mirroring
- the choreographic relationship where actions are performed reflecting the movements of another
Common mistakes
Dance styles are set and never change.
Dance styles continually evolve. When studying dances from history or other places, we are able to pinpoint key attributes that were relevant at a point in time, they may remain or they may be adapted.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Showing pupils examples of the dance style from popular films or via internet clips can give an insight into how the style is performed.
