Exploration of, and experimentation with, three (3) elements of dance

• Body:
  • body awareness (awareness of body in space in relation to objects)
  • body zones (whole body movements, moving different parts of the body)
  • body bases (feet, knees)
• Space:
  • levels (medium, low, high)
  • direction (forward, backward)
  • personal space and general space
  • dimensions (big, small)
  • shape (straight, curved, angular, twisted, closed, circular, symmetry to asymmetry)
  • pathways (in the air with the arms, under, over)
• Time:
  • tempo (fast, slow, slowing down, speeding up)

to create dance (ACADAM001)

Locomotor (walking, skipping, running) and non-locomotor (twisting, bending, turning, swaying) movements to develop control, posture, strength, balance and coordination (ACADAM002)

Safe dance practices, including being aware of the dance space boundaries when involved in dance lessons or rehearsals (ACADAM002)
