Learning Targets
•
•
•
•
Identify specific connections between dance and physical education
standards
Discover and utilize strategies for dance making (choreography)
Apply the elements of dance, skill-related & health-related fitness
components, and bio-mechanic principles while performing dance
sequences
Use dance to express ideas, think critically, and communicate effectively
Success Criteria = I can…
… describe one significant connection between dance and
physical education.
… recall one strategy for choreographing dance.
… enjoy dancing!
National PE & Dance Core

•Movement,

PE & Dance
Education
•Combine & Apply movements patterns simple to complex
•Create, develop, refine routines - innovation/creativity
•Collaboration, success criteria/goals
•Analysis -self and others
•Make connections between lifelong health and physical
activity choices - Dance can be done for a LIFETIME!
We know…..
Dance can be done with little to no equipment and limited space!
Shape lifelong habits of young people
Benefits of Dance:
reduce stress
increase energy
improve muscular strength and endurance
coordination
balance
flexibility
…so why not dance?
Build on what you/your students
know…….create confidence & assess
11
Using a dance many of your students may already know or something you’ve taught
already such as:
• CUPID SHUFFLE
• ELECTRIC SLIDE
• WOBBLE
1. Review the original choreography - MIRROR whenever possible!
2. Ask students to select HEALTH or SKILL-related fitness components to
integrated into the dance structure. *What you prompt them with for
“integration” is part of your assessment (concept or skill-based).
3. Examples - groups demonstrate (self or peer asses)
Elements of Dance
▪ Body - Parts / Whole, Initiation (core, distal, mid-limb,
body parts), Regions (upper, lower, midline, contralateral,
homolateral -body half), shapes (symmetrical/
asymmetrical, round, angular, straight)
.
T
.
S
.
E
.
B
▪ Energy - quality of our movements: Slow, Sustained/
Sudden, Quick, Light/Heavy weight, Bound/Free Flow,
Direct/Indirect Focus (emphasis)
▪ Space - Formations, “frontal” orientation, Directions,
Levels, Pathways
▪ Time - Rhythm/syncopation, Speed (half time/double time)
*Adapted from the Perch Center for Arts Education
Body
Parts (isolations) / Whole
Regions = upper, lower, midline, contralateral,
homolateral -body half
Shapes = symmetrical/asymmetrical, round,
angular, straight
Initiation = core, distal, mid-limb, body parts
*Adapted from the Perch Center for Arts Education
Energy
“Quality of our movements” - HOW we move
Smooth
Sustained
Quick
Sharp
Light vs. Heavy weight
Bound vs. Free Flow
Direct vs. Indirect Focus (emphasis)
*Adapted from the Perch Center for Arts Education
Space
Place = Stationary vs. Traveling
(locomotor/non-locomotor)
Size = Small vs. Large
Level = Low, Middle, High
Directions = F/B/S, diagonal, PATHWAYS
(Straight, Curved, Zig-Zag)
Plane = Sagittal (wheel), Vertical (door), Horizontal (table)
Relationships = Over, under, in front, behind/beside, alone,
connected
*Adapted from the Perch Center for Arts Education

Echo Dance
•
Warm the body, mindfulness, rhythm, pattern recall
Teacher creates a 4 count movement - students “ECHO” the
movement
• Parts of the body (SHAPE & SPACE)
• Energy - Sharp, smooth, heavy, light, bound, free
• Time -fast, slow, steady, uneven, accents
Progress to working with partners (lead/follow)
or in rotating small groups or from stationary to
traveling!
Teaching the Elements of Dance
• Echo Dance - counting in dance, lead/follow, group
dynamics
• Scatter Shatter - general vs. self space, pathways, levels
• Name Loop - body regions, rhythm, patterning,
transitions, meet/greet
• Shape Shifters - explore shape composition (positive &
negative space)
• Shape Relay - problem-solving, communication,
cooperation, body awareness (variation = Lights Out)
Choreograph with
B.E.S.T.
Use these elements
to cue students
when developing
dances or rhythmic
combinations
CUES:
1. State what you see
2. Add challenge
Name Loop
• Introduce self or
review and idea
using body
regions, rhythm,
patterning,
transitions, meet/
greet
Scatter Shatter
• Scatter Shatter -
general vs. self space,
pathways, levels,
energy, shape, timing
How might these concepts and skills apply to physical activities
explored in physical education?
• Scatter Shatter - general vs. self space, pathways,
levels
SHAPES RELAY
• problem-solving, communication, cooperation, body
awareness (variation = Lights Out, Using Equipment)
Choreography - developing
rhythmic movement sequences
THRILLER
Music by Michael Jackson, Mix by DJFroto
PUZZLE instructional strategy:
•
Number off 1-4 -OR- provide more choice in learning and
create a self-guided pathway with QR codes
•
Create a group that has mixed gender and one of each
number
•
Direct groups to create a THRILLER themed movement
phrase (minimum of 8 counts, maximum of 16 counts)
•
Bring each number to the center to learn a part of the
combination from you. Students return to teach their group
members - repeat to finish
THRILLER

Music by Michael Jackson, Mix by DJFroto
Dance Notation
1 - Wake from a freeze (8), march forward (8) head tick R (1, 5, 7)
2 - Knee shake R, R, R, point R arm high extend L leg low (1 & 2 & 3 & 4),
Repeat L (5 & 6 & 7 & 8)
Step R (1, 2) zombie leg drag (3, 4) repeat faster 2 x (5-8)
3 - Stomp together (1), shoulders (2), look side (&) front (3), high clap (4),
shimmy slide right (5-8)
Repeat other side (1-8)
4 - Zombie body circle (1-4), jump out hands on knees wide stance (5, 6), pivot
on L (7, 8, 1, 2), scary look over R shoulder (3, 4), wide walk back R, L, R, L
(5-8)
5 - group created ending
Make it
using your MAP
Divide and conquer.....focus on one phrase at a time
1. Consider the basic rhythm or cues in the phrase
and match it.
2. Add a variation (arm, level, turn, direction - what
are you hearing in the music?)
3. Build each phrase and put the pieces together.
4. Smooth transitions, REPETITION is good!
Practice, practice, practice, and practice
Music Mapping Handout - available online
Choreograph using what you know and have
had success with:
•
•
•
•
•
Stations
Crossfit movements
Acrobatic/gymnastic skills
With or without equipment (props)
Sport-related skills
Teaching Progressions
Use WATERFALL organization!
Student perform and learn variations
in scattered formation. Once they reach
the “end line” they divide down the middle,
walk/dance/jog the perimeter, and start over again.
