After carrying out the activities and core task in this unit
most pupils will: remember, refine and repeat short dances with a growing sense of style and artistic intention; show awareness of musical structure, rhythm, mood and phrasing; choose and develop dance material; recognise the specific requirement to develop suppleness and dynamic strength; identify strengths and weaknesses in their own and others' work; suggest ways to improve their performance and compositions; talk about dance using appropriate vocabulary; carry out suggestions about how to develop their work
some pupils will not have made so much progress and will: dance with some rhythm and control; show some awareness of style and music; display some understanding of how to structure a dance; recognise and describe simple compositional features and performance skills; recognise the need for preparation and conditioning work; develop their dances and skills, with guidance
some pupils will have progressed further and will:
develop material imaginatively and with an understanding of content; show a clear sense of dance style and respond to the music when performing; describe, interpret and evaluate dance, with an understanding of style, context and what the dance was intended to communicate; devise technical and physical preparation routines; take their own decisions about how to develop their work
