Content:

In Year 8 Dance, students will develop, create, explore, reflect and perform in a range of genres. Students will explore and choreograph dances by combining the elements of dance, and production elements to communicate choreographic intent. They will rehearse and perform dances, demonstrating technical and expressive skills appropriate to the genre.

Dance has its own movement vocabulary, specific techniques and processes that students learn and apply to their own work as a dancer and choreographer and use to interpret, understand, and appreciate the work of others.

Assessment:

Students’ performance will be determined according to the subject’s Achievement Standards as outlined in the framework of the Australian Curriculum. Grades A to E will be used for reporting purposes.
