Pete Hillier returns with the second session of an exciting dance story full of wild weather鈥nd underground trolls!
2. The trolls are coming!
In the second and final session of this unit the children continue their adventure, as explorers out in the wild weather. They will be dancing again to pieces of music taken from the 大象传媒鈥檚 Ten Pieces: working with a partner, the children find different ways of jumping, then freezing to the music (A night on the bare mountain 鈥 fast section); they listen to and respond to the quiet, exciting, rhythmic music (In the hall of the Mountain King 鈥 first section); then get into groups and move from one side of the space to the other, as the trolls and explorers; finally, they put together the moves they have been practising to create a longer dance sequence.
