Teacher Notes

This clip can be used as a reference when discussing how to evaluate a performance.

You could use this video to show different actions, space, dynamics and relationships within a dance piece.

You could ask your pupils to look at the performance and identify changes in levels, use of space, change in directions, costumes, music, etc.

It might also be used to form a theme based performance on social dances and why we do them in society.
