Dance Choreography Project
Students are to create a dance in groups that is at least 2 minutes long but no longer than 3. The dance needs to have a noticeable beginning, middle, and end. Students will apply the creative process to the composition of short dance pieces, using the elements of dance to communicate feelings and ideas. Students will generate individual phrases throughout the unit and collaboratively combine each phrase into a dance.
