Learning Targets and Learning Criteria |
Dancers will be learning choreography for their final dance performance of the year and will also be creating their own student choreography pieces. Dancers have been given parameters for their student choreography pieces, and will be working to show them in class the first week of May. Dancers will critique each others’ student choreography pieces to determine which are the most ready to perform in our May show. The dances with the best technical execution, musicality, and performance quality will be selected to be a part of our end of year showcase on May 24th. In addition to choreography, dancers will be responsible for writing their choreography, learning about editing music, creating artistic dance photographs, and learning from guest instructors. |
