Publisher Description:
Dance provides the opportunity to develop social and motor skills in a non-competitive, non-sport context. This Unit outlines a course of lessons designed to promote:
  • Basic and advanced motor skills
  • Cognitive and spatial awareness skills (i.e. remembering routines and patterns, putting them to music, working with other people - keeping in your own space, or knowing how to use space)
  • Social and team working skills when working with a partner or larger groups
  • An introduction to understanding rhythm and musical appreciation
  • An introduction to movement and fitness, using a form which is not "Sport" and which might therefore be attractive to students who may not be good at the usual sports and team games
  • At higher levels, an awareness of how the body moves, how the muscles work, the importance of warm up and cool down and good nutrition.
  • Presentation skills (during class and when presenting routines they have made up, or giving a show.)
