The Arts Scope and SequencePre-primary year Syllabus
The syllabus is based on the requirement that all students will study at least two of the five Arts subjects from Pre-primary to Year 8. It is a requirement that students study a performance subject and a visual subject.
Year Level Description
In Pre-primary, learning in Dance builds on the dispositions developed in the early years.
Students engage with purposeful play in structured activities to become aware of how the body moves through space. They explore movement ideas and learn about two of the elements of dance ( body and space ).
Students develop body control and coordination through exploring locomotor and non-locomotor movements.
Students experience performing dance and, as an audience, they learn how to focus their attention on the performance. They make simple observations of the dances they view and make.
They have the opportunity to explore different places and occasions where people dance.
Making
Ideas
Use of stimuli to explore movement ideas to create simple dance sequences (ACADAM001)
Skills
Locomotor (walking, skipping, running) and non-locomotor-movements (twisting, bending, turning, swaying) to develop body control and coordination (ACADAM002)
Safe dance practices, including being aware of personal space (ACADAM002)
Achievement standard
At Standard, students respond to different stimuli to explore mostly familiar movements as a basis for creating short dance sequences that connect body shapes and levels in space. They demonstrate locomotor and non-locomotor movements showing some body awareness and some control of the whole body in space. Students perform dance sequences, sometimes acknowledging the audience.
Students respond briefly to familiar movements that are used in their own and others’ dance. They identify some places and occasions where people dance in their own lives and communities.
