Lesson Plans
| Name |
Description |
| Overcoming Adversity - Choreographic Exploration & Expression: | In this lesson the students will learn about the story of Misty Copeland, then will create their own choreographic phrase, exploring and expressing the theme of overcoming adversity. |
| Light Dancing Images: | In this lesson, the students will create a light dance painting based on student choreographed movements using glow sticks (or other light sources). The image created will be a still photo of the entire 30-45 second dance. Students will then analyze their work based upon the elements and principles of dance and make adjustments as needed to create the most dynamic image possible. Students will then complete another light dance painting and compare the two images.
|
| Improvisation Dance: | In this lesson, students will create an improvisation dance demonstrating an understanding of the elements of dance and improvisational strategies. |
