What you’ll learn
I can choreograph and perform a dance that communicates a range of weather conditions.
Key learning points
- Move: performing our movement ideas together in sequence with control improves the dance.
- Think: choreographing a dance requires careful planning as we link our actions together using imagination.
- Feel: working as a duet or trio requires us to share our ideas which involves courage.
- Connect: watching the work of others by paying attention quietly, shows fairness and helps us to suggest improvements.
Words to know

- creating a dance

- extra actions to help link sections of a dance together
Common mistakes
That dance performances do not include repetition of ideas.
Repeating movement material in a dance is similar to the use of a chorus in a song, it emphasises the main idea and prevents the audience from being overwhelmed. Repetitions are usually varied or developed in some way to maintain interest.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Encourage pupils to use other formations than working in a circle as this usually results in the performers having their back to the audience making it difficult to see.
