1. Elements of dance: -Space
-Time
-Levels (dynamics)
-Force (energy)
2. Elements of dance: Space: -Locomotor (traveling through space)
-The 8 basic steps: walking, running, leaping, jumping, hopping, galloping, skipping, and sliding (Chasse)
-Nonlocomotor (staying in one place "on spot"): stretching, pushing, twisting, bending, kicking, sinking, or curling
-Combined locomotor (often traditional folk steps): two-step, paddle, grapevine, step-hop, chug, and spinning
-Individual, group, or class (solo, duet, or ensemble)
-Space between dancers (side-by-side, supported, far, or near)
-Interactions between dancers (leader, follower, mirror, unison, or parting)
3. Elements of dance: Time: -Rhythm: countable patterns
-Tempo: fast or slow speed
-Beat: even or uneven
-Meter: 2/4 time, 3/4 time, etc.
-Syncopation: a rhythmic pattern produced when a deliberate pattern is upset
-Rhapsodic rhythms: non-metric (e.g., breath, water, or wind)
4. Elements of dance: Levels: -Direction: forward, backward, up, down, sideways (horizontal or vertical),
diagonal, straight, circle, out, in, zigzag, or spiral
-Form and shape: angular, rounded, twisted, bent, crooked, symmetrical, or asymmetrical
-Level: high, medium, or low
-Range: wide, narrow, big, or little
-Pathway: floor, elevated, or air patterns
-Focus: gaze, floor, or away
5. Elements of dance: Force: -Quality of energy: sustained (smooth), suspended (light), swing (un-
der-curve), sway (over-curve), collapsed (loose), percussive (sharp), or vibrate (shudder)
-Degree of energy: strong, weak, heavy, light, dynamic, static, flowing, or tense
6. Framework for dance activity instruction: -Determine appropriate age-related expectations for
a safe, enjoyable classroom activity
-Determine the physical abilities, as well as gender-specific and special needs of students
-Provide students with research and learning opportunities for cross-disciplines
-Begin with a warm-up and end with a cool-down; exercises should include steps to be used in the dance activity

-Separate the dance into the steps. Begin by teaching the steps, describing and demonstrating each separately. Steps
are done slowly at first, using counts, and then at the proper tempo.
-Teach one part of the basic step pattern at a time; when two parts have been learned, combine them to establish
continuity of the dance
-Explain the floor pattern. Have the dancers walk through the floor pattern. Then combine the steps with the floor
pattern, first without music, and then with music (remember that not all dances have a set floor pattern).
-Use key words and counts to cue the steps and directional changes, and to alert students (e.g., "ready"); this helps
students keep the main rhythmic pattern and encourages them to gain a sense of the whole
-Encourage vigorous activity so that students become involved in the experience and have little time to worry about
things such as who their partner is
-Encourage opportunities for different dance experiences such as solo, line, circle, scatter, or group formations of three
and four. This dispels the idea that one must have a partner to dance. Restrict choice when partners are needed (e.g.,
ask students to dance with the person standing opposite, or the person closest). Encourage frequent and rapid change
of partner.
-Provide an opportunity for students to refine their skill level; once the whole dance has been learned, repeat several
times to increase fluency and enjoyment
-If the dance is to be performed in a fo
7. Styles of dance and movement: -Ethnic and cultural dance
---Cultural dances
---Religious or ceremonial dance
-Folk Dance
---Play and sing with movement
---Maypole dance
-Modern Dance
-Theatrical dance
-Social dance
8. Cultural dances: -Often carry important historical significance from ancient civilizations
Examples:
-Chinese ribbon dance
-Polish polonaise
-India's Kathakali or Bharatanatyam dance
