GRADES 5-8
movement skills and concepts
2.5 Motor Skill Development: All students will utilize safe, efficient, and effective movement to develop and maintain a healthy, active lifestyle.
A. Movement Skills and ConceptsRESOURCES
6
Understanding of fundamental concepts related to effective execution of actions provides the foundation for participation in games, sports, dance, and recreational activities.
2.5.6.A.1
Explain and perform movement skills that combine mechanically correct movement in smooth flowing sequences in isolated settings (i.e., skill practice) and applied settings (i.e., games, sports, dance, and recreational activities).
2.5.6.A.2
Explain concepts of force and motion and demonstrate control while modifying force, flow, time, space, and relationships in interactive dynamic environments.
2.5.6.A.3
Create and demonstrate planned movement sequences, individually and with others, based on tempo, beat, rhythm, and music (creative, cultural, social, and fitness dance).

Performing movement skills effectively is often based on an individual’s ability to analyze one’s own performance as well as receive constructive feedback from others.
2.5.6.A.4
Use self-evaluation and external feedback to detect and correct errors in one’s movement performance.
8
Movement skill performance is primarily impacted by the quality of instruction, practice, assessment, feedback, and effort.
2.5.8.A.1
Explain and demonstrate the transition of movement skills from isolated settings (i.e., skill practice) into applied settings (i.e., games, sports, dance, and recreational activities).
2.5.8.A.2
Apply the concepts of force and motion (weight transfer, power, speed, agility, range of motion) to impact performance.
2.5.8.A.3
Create, explain, and demonstrate, as a small group, a planned movement sequence that includes changes in rhythm, tempo, and musical style (creative, cultural, social, and fitness dance).
2.5.8.A.4
Detect, analyze, and correct errors and apply to refine movement skills.

A.  By the end of grade 8, those students choosing DANCE as their required area of specialization demonstrate COMPETENCY in the following content knowledge and skills.
RESOURCES
Movement dynamics and qualities emphasize time, space, and energy.Movement affinities and effort actionsimpact dynamic tension and spatial relationships.
1.3.8.A.1
Incorporate a broad range of dynamics and movement qualities in planned and improvised solo and group works by manipulating aspects of time, space, and energy.
Dance may be used as a symbolic language to communicate universal themes and varied points of view about social, political, or   historical issues in given eras.
1.3.8.A.2
Choreograph and perform cohesive dance works that reflect social, historical, and/or political themes.
Foundational understanding of anatomical and kinesthetic principlesis a contributing factor to dance artistry. Artistry in dance requires rhythmic acuity.

Choreograph and perform movement sequences that demonstrate artistic application of anatomical and kinesthetic principles as well as   rhythmic acuity.
Technology and media arts are often catalysts for   creating original choreographic compositions.

4-14-2012 Dance Across the Curriculum

Teching the CCCS

VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS STANDARDS

GRADES 5-8

Creative Process: Dance


A.  By the end of grade 8, those students choosing DANCE as their required area of specialization demonstrate COMPETENCY in the following content knowledge and skills.
RESOURCES
Numerous formal choreographic structures can be used to develop the elements of dance in the creation of dance works.
1.1.8.A.1
Interpret the choreographic structures of contrast and transition, the process of reordering and chance, and the structures of AB, ABA, canon, call and response, and narrative.
Styles and techniques in dance are defined by the ways in which the elements of dance and choreographic principles are manipulated in the creation of dance compositions.
1.1.8.A.2
Analyze dance techniques and styles to discern the compositional use of the elements of dance and choreographic principles relating to dynamics, as well as to discern spatial relationships.
Dance employs various themes and arts media to engage the viewer, develop meaning, and communicate emotions.
1.1.8.A.3
Examine how dance compositions are influenced by various social themes and arts media (e.g., dance for camera, interactive, telematics).
The quality of integrated movement depends on body alignment and the synchronized use of major and minor muscle groups. Variety in body patterns, range of motion, application of the elements of dance, and skill level enhance dance compositions and performance.
1.1.8.A.4
Integrate a variety of isolated and coordinated movements in dance compositions and performances, making use of all major muscle groups, proper body mechanics, body patterning, balance, and range of motion.
